Description:
The Cardiovascular Health Collaborative:In 1998, the Health Resources and Services Administration, CDC and the Institute for Health Improvement formed the National Diabetes Collaborative to aggressively address chronic disease by reducing disparities and increasing access to quality care in federally qualified community health centers. In April 2001, the first Cardiovascular Health Collaborative was initiated and integrated with the Diabetes Collaborative. In July 2002, the collaborative provided training and support to help community health centers and state heart disease and stroke prevention programs improve quality of care by implementing a chronic care model and an improvement process model for CVD management. Future training is planned.
