Distance learning Tool
Available:
The Texas Association of Community Health Centers has created
a Distance Learning Tool that contains training modules
for the Collaborative. These courses may be used by individuals
to become oriented to the Care Model, learn how to apply
the Model to any of the targeted chronic illnesses, or simply
as a Collaborative training tool and resource. If you have
staff you would like to train or refresh on the models and
how the collaboratives work, we strongly recommend you register
for an account and walk through the modules. The website
is:
To access, simply go to http://classroom.tachc.org
and click "Request an Account".
Within 48 hours, you will receive a username/password and
be ready to begin.
The Collaborative process
utilizes three models:
Care Model:
The Care Model emphasizes evidence-based, planned and integrative
collaborative chronic care. This population-based model
creates practical and supportive interactions between an
informed, active patient and a prepared, proactive practice
team. The Care Model encompasses six elements, or change
concepts: (click on each for tools and more information)

(if you would like to be able to modify the form)
Improvement Model:
The Improvement Model is applied to the Care Model to provide
a process to improve the quality of care at an accelerated
pace. The model applies knowledge through rapid testing
of changes in practice. The Improvement Model is based on
three fundamental questions:
- What are we trying to accomplish?
- How will we know that a change is an improvement?
- What changes can we make that will result in an improvement?
The PDSA
(Plan-Do-Study-Act) Guide (41K), a tool to help you
create PDSAs quickly, is available for download. This document
is in .pdf format. If you do not have a pdf viewer and are

Learning Model:
The Collaborative Learning Model efficiently maximizes and
spreads lessons learned while implementing the care model.
