Learning Collaboratives • Performing Providers, IGT entities, and the Anchor for Region 15 have held consistent monthly meetings throughout the development of the Waiver.

Meetings, calls, and webinars represent a way to share ideas, experiences, and work together to solve regional healthcare delivery issues and continue to work to address Region 15’s community needs. UMC, as the Region 15 Anchor anticipates continuing to facilitate a monthly meeting, and potentially breaking into workgroup Learning Collaboratives that meet more frequently to address specific DSRIP project areas that are common to Region 15, as determined to be necessary by the Performing Providers and IGT entities. UMC will continue to maintain the Region 15 website, which has updated information from HHSC, regional projects listed by Performing Provider, contact information for each participant, and minutes, notes and slides from each meeting for those parties that were unable to attend in-person. • Region 15 participants look forward to the opportunity to gather annually with Performing Providers and IGT entities state-wide to share its experiences and challenges in implementing its DSRIP projects, but also recognizes the importance of continuing ongoing regional interactions to effectuate change locally. Through the use of both state-wide and regional Learning Collaborative components, Region 15 is confident that it will be successful in improving the local healthcare delivery system for the low-income and indigent population.
