NTTAP Sample Project Work Plan

We expect to train 150 health centers on identifying and addressing disparities and inequities in care delivery settings to improve health outcomes by the end of the period of performance. The training will focus on the clinical quality measures used for health centers to earn the Health Disparities Reducer CHQR Badge: low birth weight, controlling high blood pressure, and uncontrolled diabetes.

We expect that this training will contribute to an increase in the number of health centers that meet the clinical quality benchmarks and to be awarded the Health Disparities Reducer CHQR Badge.

XYZ State PCA and XYZ HCCN will support Activity A1: Virtual Training and Summary Document Publication for Health Center Leadership on Advancing Health Equity

XYZ NTTAP will support Activity A2: Learning Collaborative on Advancing Health Equity

Due to the success of this activity and continued demand for this training in the first budget year, we will offer updated virtual trainings that incorporate feedback we received from when we held the training in September 2023. 

We will deliver virtual trainings to health center’s on establishing health center leadership committees that oversee health centers’ efforts to improve health outcomes. Building upon our experience working with governance and oversight committees, one training will have a target audience of health center leadership and board members, while another will be a complementary sessions for clinicians and other health center staff.  

Using updated HRSA data, we will promote the T/TA learning series to all health centers whose clinical quality benchmarks for low birth weight, controlling high blood pressure, and uncontrolled diabetes did not meet the benchmarks to earn the Health Disparities Reducer CHQR Badge. 

We will continue to promote the recorded webinars to meet our goal of 100 downloads of the associated summary/one pager.  We will record the virtual trainings and post them and the associated publications within 2 weeks, the same as last year.

We will provide the content for the training and publication. XYZ PCA will recruit health center clinicians and staff to participate in the virtual training and follow up with participants on applying the content discussed in the webinar during the peer groups it hosts. The XYZ HCCN will collaborate directly with the XYZ PCA by providing data to determine the training needs to be addressed during the webinar.
