- Improve the structure and usage in implemented practices for disease and preventive management—chronic illnesses, diabetes, depression, asthma, pediatric behavioral disease, and pain management.
- Put an EMR into service in one new practice per quarter.
- Collect data about patient safety, quality, access, cost, and productivity.
This project will include children, women and the elderly populations.
*Project includes children or children's health care issues but does not focus exclusively on children.
