"PRACTICE IMPROVEMENT PLANS TAKE OFF IN WEST VIRGINIA"
By Sally Hurst, BS, West Virginia School-Based Health Center Initiative, Technical Assistance and Training Office and Laura Brey, MS, Associate Director, National Assembly on School-Based Health Care.

School-based health center practice management is getting lots of attention in West Virginia (WV) these days.  The West Virginia technical assistance and evaluation team from Marshall University agreed to participate in field testing site visits related to the SBHC Practice Operations and Management Improvement Tool Kit that is being developed by the National Assembly and MED3000, a national practice management improvement firm headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  The purpose of the site visits were twofold: to allow MED3000 an opportunity to become familiar with SBHC operations in rural health centers, and to pilot test a walk-through assessment process and workflow assessment tools that would be included in the tool kit.
