Why is Tuition Discounted for CA Sites?
CA BOOST sites are subsidized through two grants: 1- California
Healthcare Foundation (CHCF) and 2- California HealthCare Foundation
Hospital Association of Southern California (LA Care Health Plan).
The CHCF grant provides discounted tuition for 20 sites in the state
and establishes a state-wise Leadership Council to coordinate efforts
throughout the state to reduce avoidable readmissions, and train
additional mentors to sustain and spread project BOOST beyond the two
year grant period.
The LaCare grant provides discounted tuition for up to 10 sites in
LA County. In addition to BOOST training, tools, and mentoring,
these sites will also join the Readmissions Reduction
Collaborative. A dedicated QI Specialist will work on site with
teams to facilitate implementation.
