Clinical Advisory Board:Promoting Best Practices
Purpose of the Clinical Advisory Board (CAB):
The ARC Health Clinical Advisory Board (CAB) exists to foster a culture of excellence in patient care by supporting clinicians with guidance, resources, and best practices.
With a mission to promote communication and collaboration among ARC Health’s clinicians, the CAB encourages continuous education and innovation across all practices. While advisory in nature, the CAB plays a critical role in upholding ARC Health’s commitment to quality, with each recommendation aligned to help clinicians deliver superior care, independently guided by their own governance and clinical expertise.
The iCORE Committees.
The iCORE Committees were formed to support the Clinical Advisory Board’s mission of promoting best practices across ARC Health. These five committees — Innovation, Compliance, Outcomes, Research, and Education — work together to drive clinical excellence, foster innovation, support compliance, measure and enhance outcomes, advance research, and encourage ongoing education for clinicians and practices.
Innovation
Keeping us informed of the cutting edge of evidence-based practice and fostering a spirit of creative innovation among the practices.
Compliance
Helping clinicians and practices be aware of and navigate the complex compliance issues we face.
Outcomes
Advising clinicians and practices on how to effectively implement outcome measures to improve treatment effectiveness.
Research
Supporting clinical trials and other forms of research among member practices.
Education
Advising on continuing education needs and encouraging ongoing training opportunities for all member practices and clinicians.
Meet the team shaping a better tomorrow.
