3 I. Funding Opportunity Description Request for Applications Quality Improvement Coordinators The Ohio Colleges of Medicine Government Resource Center (GRC) is requesting applications for up to two fulltime Quality Improvement Coordinators (QICs). The QICs will work with providers and stakeholders in Ohio to implement MEDTAPP directed and BEACON (Best Evidence for Advancing Childhealth in Ohio NOW!) supported projects for initiatives in quality improvement, as well as implement spread strategies for projects that have achieved replication status. The request for applications (RFA) is issued on behalf of the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) and the Ohio Department of Health (ODH). This project is funded by federal Medicaid funds from MEDTAPP (Medicaid Technical Assistance and Policy Program) and state funds from ODH, which is being used as non-federal match for the federal funding. Each position will be funded up to $105,000 per year including fringe benefits and travel based on experience and education. II. Background The Ohio Office of Medical Assistance manages the Medicaid and SCHIP programs serving over 1 million children and over 55,000 pregnant women in Ohio. The Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment Program (EPSDT) serves as Medicaid s comprehensive and preventive child health program for individuals under the age of 21. The EPSDT has two purposes: to assure health care resources are available and accessible, and to help Medicaid recipients and their caregivers use these resources. Pregnant women are covered for all care related to the pregnancy, delivery and any complications that may occur during pregnancy and up to 60 days postpartum. The BEACON projects will create a work force development strategy that will serve as the infrastructure for using health care quality improvement science to improve the delivery of health care to pregnant women and children in the Medicaid and SCHIP programs. Quality Improvement Science experts will be deployed on a regional basis to work in peer-to-peer relationships with health care practitioners (including physicians, physician assistants, certified nurse midwives, and nurse practitioners) serving Medicaid consumers, in practice based quality improvement collaboratives.
