The Washington Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative - Pediatrics (TCPI-P) assists clinicians and their care teams in changing the way they deliver care to provide coordinated and family centered, high quality and cost effective care for children.
A pediatrician-led advisory group and DOH staff will use the national Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ directed strategies and resources to support 5,600 pediatric and behavioral health clinicians using regional Pediatric Practice Transformation Networks. Distinguishing features of this initiative are: partnership between practitioners and health plan to leverage data and cost analysis to drive change; addressing methods of behavioral health-primary care integration; and aligning with the state’s Healthier Washington CMS State Innovation Model’s regional approach to healthcare delivery. Participating clinicians/care teams will receive regular practice performance data reports; expert coaching, training, and technical assistance from regional, state, and national faculty; peer learning opportunities; and pathways to improve access to behavioral health services---all tailored to pediatric care.
