About the HCCN
The Health Federation of Philadelphia has been a HRSA-funded Health Center Controlled Network (HCCN) since 2012, and offers more than a decade of experience in providing network-level and individualized technical assistance, training and support, and leveraging resources to meet the evolving needs of Federally Qualified Health Centers and Look-alikes in Pennsylvania. Over the years, we have built an expert team that we deploy through live training sessions, at-the-elbow support for health center staff, peer-learning opportunities and the curation of key resources and materials. We offer an extensive menu of technical assistance and support services focused on:
- Population Health Management and quality improvement
- Value-based care
- EHR workflows, optimization, and integration
- Health Information Exchange
- Privacy & Security, and
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
