Vision Optimal health for all, supported by a health care system that assures access to comprehensive, culturally competent, quality care Dedication Of health center staff, clinicians, patients themselves, and their communities. Tools Tested models that transform how we practice health care. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome. The Health Disparities Collaborative Web site is home for a community of learners who are committed to improving systems of health care. Using the methodology of the Planned Care Model and the Model for Improvement in the context of Community Oriented Primary Care, health centers are making a positive difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans. This site provides the centralized portal for communication as well as a forum for sharing the challenges, successes, tools of the trade and lessons learned. With the support of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), which is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, along with our strategic state and national partnerships, we are transforming systems of care to improve patient health outcomes and organizational sustainability.
