On July 15, health center leaders from across Mississippi came together for CARE REIMAGINED, a hands-on training event designed to meet the evolving needs of Federally Qualified Health Centers, led by the MS Health Safe Net (MSHSN) team. Directors, nurses, quality staff, IT professionals, and marketing teams all gathered for a full day of learning, collaboration, and practical takeaways.
The South Central Telehealth Resource Center (SCTRC) played an important role in making the event a success by helping coordinate and deliver key training sessions focused on current challenges in digital health.
Christina Quinlan, Founder of Christina Rose Consulting, was the morning guest speaker whose session focused on telehealth billing for FQHCs, with content tailored to the state of MS. Her session offered clarity on Medicare and Medicaid billing changes, documentation requirements, and payer-specific policies.
Dr. Melony Stokes, Senior Director of Program Implementation for SCTRC, led a session focused on remote patient monitoring. Her session gave the audience a practical and accessible understanding of how to implement remote patient monitoring workflows effectively, from patient selection to device use and reimbursement. Post-session evaluations showed a strong increase in participants’ confidence and readiness to put these tools into practice.
The event was hosted by Mississippi Health Safe Net, a HRSA-funded Health Center Controlled Network. Since its founding in 2011, MSHSN has helped community health centers across Mississippi become patient-centered medical homes and grow their health IT capacity. Managed through a partnership with the Community Health Center Association of Mississippi, MSHSN focuses on three core goals: enhancing the patient and provider experience, advancing interoperability, and using data to improve outcomes.
SCTRC is proud to partner with MSHSN to provide relevant, actionable training that helps health centers across the region strengthen their digital health strategies and serve their communities more effectively.
