The Learning Health System program, led by the Center for Accelerating Care Transformation at the Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute, worked with two primary care clinics to launch universal social needs screening and conduct a mixed-methods, pragmatic evaluation assessing the comparative effectiveness of two social health support programs.

The Delta Center for a Thriving Safety Net was a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation program to support state primary care and behavioral health associations.  The Center for Accelerating Care Transformation (ACT Center) participated in the Delta Center as a technical assistance and evaluation partner and wanted to learn more about how state primary care associations (PCAs) and behavioral health state associations (BHSAs) are advancing health equity policies in conservative states.
