Strategic Community Health Center Growth
- Shawn Frick - as presented at The Strengthening Ohio’s Safety Net Roundtable April 29, 2011. For more info, visit http://www.healthpathohio.org/
Community health centers face both opportunities and challenges in their growth. Opportunities include $60-92 million available in 2011 for expansion funding and grants from programs like the Facility Improvement Program. However, health centers also face challenges in integrating with other providers to coordinate patient care as requirements increase under health reform. Effectively responding to both opportunities and threats will be important for health centers as the healthcare system continues to evolve.
IMPLEMENTATION OF A SUCCESSFUL HEALTH MANAGEMENT STRATEGYHuman Capital Media
Cherokee County, Georgia, Board of Commissioners together with their consultant, Insurance Office of America, began the process of developing a health management strategy, or HMS, for their self-funded employee benefits program. The county’s plan was bundled with a national carrier and had been in the red financially for many years. The objectives were to reduce spend in the health plans without reducing coverage nor increasing employee premiums. Further, it was the county’s desire to maintain the current network of providers, to improve engagement with their health plan members and to improve the overall perception of the employee benefits program. The county’s final goal was to then develop a long-term strategic plan for their employee benefits program. Developing and deploying an HMS is an integral part of the solution because it is designed to allow for the bolt-on application of new, creative, risk-management-type vendors who could add value to the plan while lowering spend for the county. This was achieved by unbundling services from the carrier and implementing six new best-in-class vendors enhancing coverage where all but one was voluntary in nature, meaning the health plan members didn’t have to use them.
Learning Objectives/Session Takeaways:
Innovative health management strategy designs for self-funded plans.
Change management: buy-in from key stakeholders, reccurring education and strategic communications to plan members.
Top talent: Authentic teamwork and partnership are key.
Orlando Health offers many benefits to its employees including medical benefits like health management programs for various conditions, smoking cessation support, and minor illness treatment. They also offer fitness programs, healthy dining options, tuition reimbursement, and recognition programs. The goal of these benefits is to encourage healthy lifestyles while providing employees support, growth opportunities, and work-life balance.
The document discusses value-based design (VBD) and its focus on using data and incentives to improve health outcomes, quality, and cost efficiency. It notes that VBD leverages prevention, chronic care management, and appropriate care delivery. Successful VBD requires engagement of employees, employers, and providers, and focuses on communication and alignment of incentives.
Dr. Pervez had been invited to deliver a talk at S P Jain Institute, Goregaon...Urgent Care
While addressing a large gathering that consisted of Management students from the institute, delegates from RBI, NSE and other financial institutions, Dr. Pervez spoke on “Changing Financial Landscape – Healthcare Perspective”. The students and the delegates were in rapt attention as Dr. Pervez effortlessly threw light on how the healthcare industry has taken a 360* turn in the last decade, how the industry has grown and how it is now throwing up opportunities for career.
The document discusses the evolving rural healthcare environment and significant changes occurring in recent years. It notes increased rural-urban affiliations, physicians transitioning to hospital employment, declining patient volumes, growth of high-deductible health plans, and reduced Medicare payments. It summarizes changes in federal healthcare reform, Medicaid managed care, commercial insurance, and new payment models like accountable care organizations and bundled payments that are putting pressure on rural hospital finances and operations.
Healthcare reform has had far reaching effects. This presentation discussed how Medicare was affected by Healthcare reform and how it will impact beneficiaries and the healthcare industry.

The pending Healthy Ohio 1115 Medicaid waiver would require nearly all non-disabled adults on Ohio Medicaid to pay premiums. If approved by the federal government, the waiver would result in a greater number of uninsured Ohioans as well as increased Medicaid administrative costs and complexity.
Speakers include:
* Tara Britton, Public Policy Fellow, The Center for Community Solutions
* Nita Carter, Project Director, UHCAN Ohio
Over the last several months AOF and our partners have been focusing on helping Ohioans be safe in their homes, afford the basics and find good jobs that stabilize families in the state budget. Now, the budget has moved into the last step of the process -- Conference Committee. Speakers explain what's happened with health and human services programs over the course of the budget process.
Speakers include:
* Bill Sundermeyer, State Director, Advocates for Ohio's Future
* Col Owens, Senior Attorney, Legal Aid Society of Southwest Ohio
* Mark Davis, President, Ohio Provider Resource Association
The document discusses how the Affordable Care Act's insurance reforms could support primary care. It outlines the AAFP's policy of ensuring all Americans have health coverage and access to team-based primary care. The AAFP recommends that health insurance exchanges require plans to provide this type of primary care. The document also discusses issues around defining essential health benefits, coordinating exchanges with Medicaid, the impact of exchanges in Illinois, and questions for family physicians around exchanges.

Since its expansion in 2014, Ohio’s Medicaid program has played a critical role in cutting the number of uninsured Ohioans almost in half. With talk of repealing the Affordable Care Act at the federal level, what are the implications on Ohio’s budget process?
Speakers include:
- Loren Anthes, Public Policy Fellow, Medicaid Policy Center, The Center for Community Solutions
- Wendy Patton, Senior Project Director, Policy Matters Ohio
- Brandi Slaughter, Chief Executive Officer, Voices for Ohio’s Children
The document discusses advocating for reauthorization and sustainable funding of the Teaching Health Center program, which provides residency programs in community health centers. It asks Congress to reauthorize the program now to prevent a gap in training primary care physicians, and provide a stable funding stream like Medicare GME. The program increases primary care production and trains residents in underserved communities, but faces challenges with unstable year-to-year funding and uncertainty if not reauthorized.
This document outlines strategies for deploying a Community Health Insurance Scheme (CHIS) in Nigeria. It discusses the two most important factors in healthcare according to the WHO: access to quality health services and the high cost of healthcare. The document proposes CHIS as an innovative prepayment solution that can bridge the access gap while focusing on vulnerable groups. It provides details on targeting 1 million enrollees in the first year, ensuring quality services, and addressing operational challenges such as a large coverage area and technological issues. The document requests a letter of engagement and MOU to serve as operational consultants for the CHIS's implementation.

Why Data-Driven Healthcare Is the Best Defense Against COVID-19Health Catalyst
COVID-19 has given data-driven healthcare the opportunity to prove its value on the national and global stages. Health systems, researchers, and policymakers have leveraged data to drive critical decisions from short-term emergency response to long-term recovery planning.
Five areas of pandemic response and recovery stand out for their robust use of data and measurable impact on the course of the outbreak and the individuals and frontline providers at its center:
Scaling the hospital command center to pandemic proportions.
Meeting patient surge demands on hospital capacity.
Controlling disease spread.
Fueling global research.
Responding to financial strain.
The document discusses the fiscal sustainability of Ontario's health care system. It notes that health care spending has been growing faster than government revenue, creating a long-term sustainability problem. It analyzes key drivers of health spending such as hospitals, physician compensation, and pharmaceutical drugs. Recent reforms aim to tie hospital funding to quality and activity levels, transition physicians away from fee-for-service payments, and reduce drug costs through generic pricing caps. However, sustaining the public health system remains an ongoing challenge.
Panel 4 Anton Kerr Aids Alliance, Financing The Ihp Intent, Commitments, Ex...ihp
The document discusses the funding needs to achieve health-related Millennium Development Goals. It estimates that $24-36 billion per year is needed to increase health spending in low-income countries to $40 per person annually. This would require a small percentage of GDP from developed countries. Lessons from AIDS funding show the importance of long-term commitments from both international donors and national governments. For health systems to be strengthened sustainably, the International Health Partnership must outline long-term foreign assistance through at least 2021 to convince countries to invest in expanding health workforces. Sustainable health financing will require commitments from donors and governments to meet funding targets and accept international responsibility for ensuring health resources.

The document discusses how the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) provided major funding to promote health information technology adoption and health information exchange through programs like regional health IT extension centers. It specifically discusses West Virginia's application for over $9 million over 4 years to create a regional extension center consortium to help over 1,800 healthcare providers adopt and meaningfully use health IT. The extension centers will provide various services to help providers implement systems, achieve meaningful use criteria to qualify for incentive payments, and improve healthcare through use of health IT.

Startup Health Insights Midyear Venture Funding ReportBrian T. Edwards
Funding in digital health continues to accelerate, with the first half of 2014 surpassing the total funding for 2013. There were 248 deals in the first half of 2014, raising a total of $3.3 billion. Median deal sizes have increased across all stages, especially for seed deals which saw an 83% increase between 2013 and the first half of 2014. Regional funding is also growing, with New York nearly tripling its funding from the first half of 2013.
Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) provide critical primary care services to underserved communities but face funding challenges. They save billions for the healthcare system through reduced emergency room visits and hospitalizations. While the Affordable Care Act increased funding, cuts to Medicaid and state funding threaten their ability to meet growing demand. Private donations are needed to sustain FQHC programs and services that improve health outcomes and drive local economic growth through jobs and purchases.
The document discusses Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) which were created by the Affordable Care Act to improve quality and lower costs. It provides frequently asked questions about ACOs, including whether they are viable, how providers can save money through ACOs, examples of successful ACO programs like Marshfield Clinic, and the healthcare IT components needed to support ACOs. Providers are encouraged to invest in quality, innovation, and data/analytics to prepare for value-based payment models like ACOs.
Key Growth Sectors in the Health Care Services M&A MarketRobert James Cimasi
The document discusses a webcast on key growth sectors in the health care M&A market. It provides an agenda that will discuss trends in hospital, physician groups, managed care, and financing. It then introduces several speakers who will provide perspectives on health care services M&A trends.
The document summarizes key aspects of Ohio's proposed FY 2012-2013 budget, including:
- Maintaining Medicaid eligibility but implementing rate cuts and utilization controls.
- Cuts to many state agencies and programs, including a 25% reduction to local government funds.
- Privatizing the wholesale liquor distribution and selling five prisons to generate one-time revenue.
- Increases to the Job and Family Services budget are needed but reliance on federal funds introduces risk if not balanced with state funding. Overall the budget proposals are bold but could be unbalanced without additional revenue sources.
The Healthcare Revenue Cycle: How to Optimize PerformanceHealth Catalyst
Health systems rely on effective revenue cycle management to follow the patient journey, navigate claims, and ensure the organization collects payment for its services. In today’s complex and fluid healthcare industry, in which revenue cycle management is about much more than billing and collecting payment, traditional revenue cycle approaches can’t meet escalating demands. Additionally, with lost volume due to COVID-19, organizations can’t afford to miss an opportunity for payment.
The contemporary healthcare landscape requires a comprehensive, standardized, and data-driven revenue cycle process. Health systems that leverage data to support revenue cycle management improve their financial outcomes in three significant ways:
1. Reduce denials.
2. Increase collections with propensity-to-pay insight.
3. Improve discharged-not-final-billed efforts.
This presentation discusses the impact of health reform. It begins by defining the problem, then provides an overview of legislation and the impact on business. It provides a contrarian view of the subject and explains why health reform is really insurance reform. It also introduces the concept of consumer sovereignty,
The presentation explains the recent HealthIT funding passed by Washington in the economic stimulus package and how the funds will be used to encourage nationwide physician adoption of EMRs.
Policy Update:The Affordable Care Act and the Ryan White Program, presented...Office of HIV Planning
This document provides a summary of a presentation about changes to healthcare policy under the Affordable Care Act and the future of the Ryan White Program. Key points include: the Supreme Court upheld the individual mandate and Medicaid expansion in the ACA; the ACA will expand Medicaid eligibility and essential health benefits; there are questions around how states will define essential health benefits and ensure coverage of HIV services; and the Ryan White Program faces reauthorization and transition as more people gain coverage through the ACA, though coverage gaps may remain for groups like the undocumented. Advocates are working to shape policies around these changes at both national and local levels.

Enroll America aims to enroll more than 16 million uninsured Americans in new health coverage options made available by the Affordable Care Act. It will execute a national enrollment campaign using various engagement strategies and sharing best practices. Research shows many uninsured Americans are unaware of the new options or skeptical they can afford coverage. Enroll America's messaging will focus on financial security, affordability when tax credits are considered, and the benefits of preventing financial ruin from medical costs. It will target key demographic groups and work with partners at the national, state, and local levels to maximize enrollment.
The document discusses strategies for outreach and enrollment in health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act. It notes that enrollment begins on October 1, 2013 and outlines a two-fold strategy by Enroll America to maximize enrollment. Key points include:
- Enroll America aims to enroll at least 15 million uninsured Americans by promoting best practices and a national enrollment campaign.
- There will be a single, streamlined application process across Medicaid, CHIP and private plans regardless of whether a state expands Medicaid.
- Most of the uninsured are located in 13 states and are more likely to enroll with in-person assistance. Safety net providers are well-positioned to help with outreach due to existing relationships.

The HealthPath Foundation of Ohio provides Community Connections grants to support safety net healthcare providers, social service organizations, schools, and government agencies serving 36 Ohio counties. Grants of up to $5,000 or $7,500 are available, including regular grants and challenge grants requiring a 1:1 match. The grant review process involves letters of intent, invited full proposals, review by a volunteer panel, award announcements, and a grantee luncheon. The timeline outlines due dates for letters of intent in May 2013 and full proposals in August 2013, with award notifications in November 2013.
This document discusses quality measures for oral health care programs. It defines quality of care and outlines six aims for improving health care identified by the Institute of Medicine: that care should be safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient and equitable. Several key determinants of quality dental care are described, including structural adequacy, access, technical skills, communication, documentation, coordination, patient factors and outcomes. The document then discusses various approaches to quality assurance, including continuous quality improvement models, quality measurement, and examples of specific metrics used to monitor oral health programs.
This document discusses the benefits of community-based dental education programs for students, patients, and providers. It notes that upcoming accreditation standards will require more community-based experiences and exposure to diverse patient populations. Data is presented showing the productivity and experiences gained by dental students through community partnerships in Ohio. Benefits for schools include a greater range of patient experiences while benefits for community partners include a sustainable workforce and sharing of resources. Potential disadvantages include increased bureaucracy and changing educational priorities.
This document discusses best practices for safety net dental practices. It recommends establishing clear goals and measuring outcomes to demonstrate improved patient health. It also recommends creating a sustainable practice that provides quality care, is affordable for patients, and is a good place to work. The document outlines principles from the IOM for improving oral health, including increasing accountability, prevention, health literacy, and decreasing disparities. It provides examples of best practices such as managing no-shows, emergencies, self-pay patients, scheduling, and quality assurance.
The document summarizes the mission, measures, means, and feedback processes of the Dental Center of Northwest Ohio. The mission is to provide oral health services for low-income children and adults, promote oral health education, and advocate for those with limited access to care. Measures include appointment wait times, lab cases, prior authorizations, referrals, no-show rates, treatment completion rates, and exam types. Means include staffing, facilities, supplies, communication materials, and a private practice business model with daily scheduling and production goals. Feedback informs adjustments to improve processes.
The document describes an ambulatory care center that provides various health services to low-income, uninsured, and underinsured patients. The services include internal medicine, pediatrics, women's health, pharmacy, dental, and specialty clinics. The center aims to provide healthcare, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and education regardless of patients' economic status. As a teaching facility, it also provides medical education and training. The dental clinic specifically provides onsite, mobile, inpatient, emergency, and surgical dental services. It measures performance through various metrics to ensure consistent, continuous, and high-quality patient care as well as resident education.
The document discusses models of medical-dental integration and collaboration, from separate locations with little communication to more fully integrated models. It outlines barriers to integration like separate education and different reimbursement systems. Effective models coordinate care, screen and provide preventive oral health services. This improves access and outcomes while reducing costs through early prevention and intervention.
