Seattle, WA - The Qualis Health Safety Net Medical Home Initiative (SNMHI) has been featured in the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) Case Studies of Leading Primary Care Practice Facilitation Programs: Overview. The SNMHI is one of four case studies that highlight innovative practice facilitation approaches and activities. "We're pleased that AHRQ has identified the SNMHI as a leading practice facilitation program," says Jonathan Sugarman, MD, MPH, Qualis Health President and CEO.

The goal of the SNMHI is to help practices redesign their clinic and administrative systems to improve patient health by supporting effective and continuous relationships between patients and their care teams.
