CMCS announces a new “Improving Asthma Control Learning Collaborative”

The Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services (CMCS) is launching the “Improving Asthma Control Learning Collaborative” (Learning Collaborative) to support state Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) agencies’ efforts to improve health outcomes among beneficiaries with asthma.

Through the Learning Collaborative, state Medicaid and CHIP agencies and their partners will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge of evidence-based asthma interventions and services, improve their ability to conduct quality improvement (QI) projects related to improving asthma outcomes, and engage in state-to-state learning. The Learning Collaborative has two parts: a four-part webinar series beginning in October 2019 and an affinity group beginning in March 2020. The webinar series will include presentations from experts in the field as well as tools that states can use to drive improvement in asthma control and outcomes. States interested in taking action on the concepts and tools introduced through the webinar series will have the opportunity to participate in an action-oriented affinity group, which will support states in designing, implementing, and scaling-up QI projects in their state.

The first webinar, “The Role of Medicaid and CHIP in Improving Asthma Control,” is
October 22, 2019, 3-4 p.m. ET.

Register for Webinars.
