Innovative Strategic FQHC Development Program

The New Jersey Primary Care Association, Inc. (NJPCA) is a not-for-profit corporation that represents New Jersey’s Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and their affiliates. NJPCA fosters collaboration among the FQHCs to ensure that vulnerable populations in the State have access to comprehensive healthcare services. The NJPCA achieves this goal through advocacy to regulatory agencies and payor, consumer, and professional groups; consultation, advice, and guidance to the FQHCs’ leadership; and education and training of the FQHCs' employees.

This project supports a planning process to help the NJPCA and its member FQHCs transform their operations and adopt practices to improve care and reduce costs for the populations they serve.    Participants are learning how other FQHCs across the country have incorporated the policy goals of the Accountable Care Act. They also are identifying successful clinical and business practices that have worked in other areas of the country for application in New Jersey.
