CCWV Certified as an Exemplary Practice

9/25/2019

0 Comments

 
Citing the organization's superior performance, Community Care of West Virginia (CCWV) was recently notified of its certification as a TCPi Exemplary Practice by the the National Rural Accountable Care Consortium Practice Transformation Network.

The Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPi), established in 2015, was designed to help clinicians achieve large-scale health transformation, supporting more than 140,000 clinician practices over a four year period in sharing, adapting and further developing their comprehensive quality improvement strategies. The initiative is one part of a strategy advanced by the Affordable Care Act to strengthen the quality of patient care and spend health care dollars more wisely. It aligns with the criteria for innovative models set forth in the Affordable Care Act including: promoting broad payment and practice reform in primary care and specialty care, promoting care coordination between providers of services and suppliers, establishing community-based health teams to support chronic care management, and promoting improved quality and reduced cost by developing a collaborative of institutions that support practice transformation.

Community Care continues to be a leader in providing quality healthcare across north central West Virginia.

Community Care of West Virginia (CCWV) is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) located in central West Virginia with fifteen (15) community health center locations, fifty-three (53) school-based health sites, eight (8) 340(b) pharmacies, and one (1) dental office employ a dynamic team of health professionals including MD, DO, FNP, PA-C, Psychiatrists, Psychologists, LICSW, LCSW, LGSW, RPH, and DDS’s.

The Local Hospital Closed. These Doctors Didn't Give Up.

Kimberly Becher, a family practitioner in Clay, West Virginia, population 491, says her rural county never had a local hospital. The nearest acute care facilities are all about an hour away in five different directions. Some of those hospitals are cutting back while others are trying to gear up their service offerings. Her practice in Clay, which includes two nurse practitioners and a physician assistant, is part of Community Care of West Virginia, a Federally Qualified Health Center with 15 community clinics, school-based programs, and pharmacies.
Becher strives to provide an integrated medical practice with such innovations as a community health worker and weekly home doctor visits, which sometimes require traversing challenging dirt roads. "A lot of what I do is keeping people out of the hospital," she says. "We provide a lot of care typically only done in hospitals. If I didn't have solid hospital and emergency medical training, I don't think I could do this job."

“When I ask patients who they want us to call when they’re sick or who to call with medical test results and I watch those patients think and then answer, ‘Well, there’s no one.’ That’s what I find heartbreaking. To have no ally, no advocate. No one. That patient is isolated,” Dr. Kimberly Becher said.

Dr. Becher, a family practice physician at Community Care of West Virginia's Clay health center recently contributed to an article addressing social isolation and loneliness in rural health settings. To read the entire article and gain insight, please click here.

BUCKHANNON, WV — Dr. Sarah Chouinard was recently recognized for her excellence in service to the Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPi) Faculty.

​The TCPi, established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in 2015, is designed to help clinicians achieve large-scale health transformation and to support more than 140,000 clinician practices over the next four years in sharing, adapting and further developing their comprehensive quality improvement strategies. The initiative is one part of a strategy advanced by the Affordable Care Act to strengthen the quality of patient care and spend health care dollars more wisely. It aligns with the criteria for innovative models set forth in the Affordable Care Act including: promoting broad payment and practice reform in primary care and specialty care, promoting care coordination between providers of services and suppliers, establishing community-based health teams to support chronic care management, and promoting improved quality and reduced cost by developing a collaborative of institutions that support practice transformation.
​
