  3. Patient Engagement in Humboldt County, Ca CDSMP leaders act as faculty at PCR meeting to discuss the patient perspective of living with a chronic health condition 2009 PCR 3.0 kicks-off. Practices must recruit two patient partners to participate. Patients participate in collaborative and office improvement meetings. 2012 HDNIPA participates in the IHI “Quality Allies” Project 2005-2006 Implementation of the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) 2008 2011 PCR 2.0 launches with an emphasis on PCMH. Recruitment of a “patient partner” team member is a requirement of participation. Significant infrastructure is built to support this effort. 2012 Community Response To Surgical Variation 2009 HDNIPA adopts collaborative model to improve primary care called: Primary Care Renewal (PCR); 10 PCP practices participate 2007 AF4Q initiative begins, citing patient engagement as a key driver of quality improvement
