  • The WPCC did not have an official WPCC meeting in June, however the WPCC Manager provided a space for the learning community to come together to discuss challenges and lessons learned since mid-March. This optional meeting was well attended via Zoom and breakout rooms were utilized to allow for 1:1 conversations between participants; they were then put into groups of 4 to discuss insights and then reconvened everyone to share discussions. The majority of the conversation centered around the challenges and lessons learned on the implementation of telehealth. This format was well-received. Another optional meeting for the WPCC Learning Community was hosted June 1.
  • Next meeting: August 3, 2020

  • General updates: The TCDI Workgroup met in June to evaluate current funding available in 2020 and budget planning in 2021. This included reviewing key highlights that funded partners brought forward during the COVID-19 pandemic and what NCACH could do to adjust project plans moving forward. A key emphasis of the meeting focused on building partnerships across the region and locally in each community.  
  • Confluence Health presented the Confluence at Home model to the workgroup. The group provided feedback on the proposal and additional details, which was presented at the July 16th TCDI workgroup meeting
  • NCACH gathered feedback from TCDI partners.  Key highlights included:
    • Transitional Care work at most agencies has been able to continue since it is set up to be in a remote phone-based format.
    • Follow up from the Emergency Department has continued, but has been slower due to a decrease in Emergency Department Patients.
    • Community and clinical partnerships have been delayed due to the inability for partners to hold meetings.  Partners hope to restart this work the 2nd half of 2020.
