CENTER FOR PRACTICE TRANSFORMATION
About
A team-based approach and optimized healthcare system are the best ways to close the gap between the care patients need and the care they receive. The South Carolina Office of Rural Health’s Center for Practice Transformation helps providers and administrators identify opportunities to provide better care and maximize reimbursement. These solutions include quality improvement methods; new care models; and technical assistance in operations, clinic management or clinical services.
We are a member of the SC Patient Centered Primary Care Alliance.
