AHRQ Practice Facilitation Resources
Practice facilitators help primary care practices implement the best evidence and develop quality improvement capacity. To assist practice facilitators in gaining critical skills, AHRQ has developed several resources.
AHRQ Practice Facilitation Training Modules
AHRQ developed 14 free, interactive training modules that are based on AHRQ's widely used Primary Care Practice Facilitation Curriculum. The modules, each 20-30 minutes long, teach the people and technical skills facilitators need to excel. The modules provide opportunities to practice skills and include videos of experienced practice facilitators who share insights and helpful hints.
Primary Care Practice Facilitation Curriculum
The Primary Care Practice Facilitation Curriculum is designed to train both new and experienced practice facilitators in the knowledge and skills needed to support the adoption of evidence and make meaningful improvement in primary care practices. The curriculum consists of a preface, an introduction, and 32 training modules.
Handbook for Health IT Advisors and Practice Facilitators
This handbook, Obtaining and Using Date in Practice Improvement: A Handbook for Health IT Advisors and Practice Facilitators, provides the in-depth information Health Information Technology (IT) Advisors need to effectively provide health IT-related assistance for primary care practices to support their quality improvement (QI) and practice transformation efforts. The audience for this handbook includes both Health IT Advisors as well as the practice facilitators/coaches who have the necessary background, interest, and skills to provide clinical health IT support.
