Supporting Practice Leaders Navigating Unfamiliar Waters:
Leadership Through Change Learning Collaborative
Convened December through August 2024
Integrated Care DC’s Supporting Practice Leaders Navigating Unfamiliar Waters: Leadership Through Change Learning Collaborative introduced and reinforced practical leadership skills for individuals in management and decision-making roles to support their teams in moving toward successful value-based contracting. The collaborative series comprised eight core sessions presented from December to May 2024 on the key topics, tools, and resources described below.
A total of 50 leaders from 27 FQHCs, hospitals, behavioral health, and health-related social needs organizations participated. After the first session, participants were divided into three cohorts to support small-group and peer learning, with an associated Integrated Care DC lead to guide participants through the series and provide individualized support. Participants interested in further assistance took the opportunity to engage in six biweekly continued learning sessions offered in June through August and to sign up for practice-level coaching through Integrated Care DC.
