Primary Care Expert | Senior Technical Associate

“My fear is that telehealth is only available to patients who can pay for it. Through the HITEQ Center, our technical assistance supports safety net providers in making sure their patients also access care virtually, saving time and money.”

Melinda McKay, PhD

Behavioral Sciences Practice Director

“The future of workforce development isn’t more training: it’s better transfer to practice. Performance improves when we design systems around people to reduce friction, align incentives, and create environments where good practice becomes the norm.”

Assessing Capacity for Value-Based Care in Texas

JSI is conducting an evaluation of the Episcopal Health Foundation’s investment in 11 Texas community health centers to build capacity for population health and value-based payment design. We use a mixed-methods approach that involves longitudinal assessments, key informant interviews, and annual site visits. This work identifies the strengths, needs, and strategies clinics use when advancing value-based models.

Advancing Population Health Transformation in California

JSI supports the Population Health Management Initiative (PHMI), a collaboration between the California Department of Health Care Services, Kaiser Permanente, and community health centers that strengthens population health management and improves care and health outcomes for the populations that health centers serve. JSI and partner organizations support a cohort of 27 California community health centers with technical assistance, coaching, and peer learning focused on quality improvement. This work helps health centers refine goals, test strategies, and share practical lessons.

Scaling Digital Literacy for Economic Opportunity in the U.S.

Through the Increasing Digital Literacy in the American Workforce 2.0 initiative, World Education prepares adult education practitioners to support the 32 million Americans whose limited foundational digital skills constrain their economic opportunity and career mobility. Our work through the previous project phase already transformed how educators across 16 states teach digital skills, reaching instructors and sharing field insights at over 40 conferences nationwide. In this phase, we are equipping adult education practitioners with practical, evidence-based tools to integrate digital literacy into instruction and prepare learners for today’s technology-driven economy.
