AHRQ Infrastructure for Maintaining Primary Care Transformation (IMPaCT) Grants Catalog of Tools
This Catalog of Tools and Resources brings together the materials developed through the AHRQ Infrastructure for Maintaining Primary Care Transformation (IMPaCT) cooperative grants. These grants supported model initiatives in four States (Pennsylvania, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Oklahoma), which used primary care extension agents to assist with primary care transformation efforts statewide and were then spread to partner States. The materials in this catalog include toolkits for building infrastructure and implementing health extension models, reports outlining lessons learned, Webinars to share information and experiences, descriptions of the various models used, and peer-reviewed articles.
