improving health outcomes:
• Learning Collaboratives
• Performance indicators in SSB 5093
Together we can eliminate Health
Disparities
• Significant health disparities

competent and family centered
• Washington State’s increasingly diverse
population requires providers to become well
versed in cross cultural communication and
care.
Next Steps
• Develop strategies for financing care
coordination
• Seek additional funding, e.g. Epilepsy Grant
• Support Learning Collaboratives
What Teams will hear about today
• Strategies that are working for teams in our
state
• Opportunities to share and learn from each
other.
