In Rhode Island there is a long history of collaboration between the PCA and the PCO. The PCO coordinates the Primary Care Physician Advisory Committee, which has advised the Department of Health on programmatic and policy issues since 1992, and in which leadership from the PCA is actively engaged. Additionally, the PCA was awarded funding through the PCO to conduct Health Care Safety Net Provider Trainings, which were conducted on topics ranging from delivering culturally competent care to improving overall customer service. The PCA is additionally very involved in Rhode Island’s Chronic Care Collaborative, an in-state effort led by the Department of Health to assist providers in developing processes and initiatives to manage their patients with chronic disease. The collaborative was launched in 2003 and includes all of the state’s community health centers.
