Enhance clinician and practice member knowledge. ERIC strategies included in EvidenceNOW interventions with Proctor specifications

Expected outcomes: Clinician knowledge of ABCS & QI and exchange best practices Knowledge of clinical guidelines, use of local resources, and increased peer interaction encouraging continued engagement and participation in QI. Exchange of best practices, peer learning and support Justification: Clinicians benefit from learning in a variety of formats (peer-to-peer; online learning; in-person one-on-one or group learning) from different professionals (expert consultants who are also clinical peers, practice facilitators, other healthcare experts). Interactive, collaborative learning and peer networking help practices engage in QI and reduce burnout
