Provider Learning Collaboratives

SAE values our partnerships with a cadre of exceptional consultants to assist our clients with maneuvering through new focus areas under the banner of performance improvement and sustainability, while continually improving upon core service provisions in grant writing, parity & compliance, and program evaluation.

Our collection of public-facing “Provider Learning Collaboratives” were an outgrowth of our internal Mental Health and Substance Use Evaluation Learning Collaboratives, which brought SAE experts across the country into one virtual room to discuss and strategize around obstacles in order to pave the way to greater client success in a constantly changing provider environment. Overall, the feedback we received mentioned a need for greater depth and specificity around numerous topics, focusing in primarily on the “how to” of each topic: how to communicate change to uncertain workforces, how to prioritize funding that serves long term sustainability, how to intregrate values into staff education, how to connect with and codify growth, improvement, and success in data points that reflect the value of each participating stakeholder. 

While our top consultants are not necessarily hired to educate, we do highly value those who lean into the opportunity to translate and to advise, whether from the boots on the ground perspective or the 30,000 foot view.  We continue to consistently acknowledge and prepare ourselves for the changing regulations, opportunities, technologies, and priorities that our clients share with us. Thanks to keeping our priorities close to our clients’ priorities has been valuable to SAE; it is the primary value that has allowed us to continue to expand our services and support providers to increasing levels of operational responsiveness and the agility needed to navigate the evolving paradigm shifts behind what behavioral health service delivery was to what it can be now.  

We greatly appreciate the participation, requests, and feedback that brought our experts and your teams together, and always want you to let us know how we can better help you.
