Title: California NICHQ Collaborative – Then and Now
Primary Track: 7-Program Evaluation and Quality Assurance
Keyword(s): NICHQ, Quality Improvement, Learning Collaborative

Abstract:

California was one of the initial eight states that participated in the National Initiative for Children’s Health care Quality (NICHQ) learning collaborative addressing early hearing detection and intervention. We have been requested to submit a poster abstract and to participate in a NICHQ “reunion” of the first and second groups of states that implemented NICHQ learning collaboratives. Our poster will summarize our activities since NICHQ ended its participation in our collaborative in 2007. The poster will include longitudinal data from the beginning of the collaborative as well as data indicators measuring progress on new goals.
