PCORI Award: Learning Collaboratives and Other Resources

ACAP’s PCORI Engagement Award project supported a two-year effort* for ACAP to engage member Safety Net Health Plans on the dissemination and implementation of PCORI-funded research and evidence.  The project featured a structured series of broad engagement efforts through Roundtable calls, webinars, and in-person meetings focusing on critical PCORI-supported evidence of interest on topics such as telehealth or community health workers. It included a Behavioral Health Learning Collaborative and subsequent Telehealth Learning Collaborative formed as a result of the pandemic. 

This page features a collection of knowledge gained and shared in each meeting. Use the resources collected here and take advantage of the network created to engage one another on these critical issues.
