The Consortium for Southeastern Hypertension Control (COSEHC™) was recently selected to receive one of the Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPI) Practice Transformation Network (PTN) awards from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The TCPI is one of the largest federal investments designed to support doctors and other clinicians in all 50 states through collaborative and peer-based learning networks.
Group Practice Forum, a physician-led, care delivery consultancy providing workflow optimization and practice facilitation, is one of four innovative healthcare organizations that comprise the COSEHC PTN. Other partners within the PTN include SPH Analytics and the Northwest Area Health Education Center.
The COSEHC PTN is one of 29 national and regional health care networks to be selected for the TCPI award. The TCPI is part of a collection of initiatives advanced by the Affordable Care Act to improve the quality of patient care and promote wise use of healthcare spending.
“We are pleased to be a member of the COSEHC PTN, an integral part of the Transforming Clinical Practices Initiative, which represents an innovative move toward the implementation of quality-driven care,” said John Strapp, Jr., Co-Founder and Chairman of The Kinetix Group.
The COSEHC PTN provides patient-centered quality improvement strategies and tools, data analytics, practice design and care coordination techniques, and continuous medical education to help participating clinicians meet the initiative’s phases of transformation and associated milestones, clinical and operational results.
