Driving Forces Behind Increased Use of Traditional Health Workers Q: How do we better ensure provider cultural responsiveness, language accessibility, a diversified workforce, and access to critical services across the state within a CCO and its provider network that reflects the population served by the CCO? Policy goal Recommended Strategies Enhance integration and utilization of Traditional Health Workers to ensure delivery of high quality, and culturally and linguistically appropriate care to improve health outcomes Designate a CCO liaison as a central contact for THWs Identify and include THW affiliated with organizations listed under ORS 414.627 in the development of CHAs and CHPs Implement recommendations of the THW Commission, including requiring CCOs to: Create plan for integration and utilization of THWs Incorporate alternative payment methods to establish sustainable payment rates for THW services Integrate best practices for THW services in consultation with THW commission 8
The intended impact of the new CCO contract language regarding THWs is as follows: 1) increase the THW workforce by creatinga livable and equitable payment system. Intended Impact of the THW Contract Reforms 2) show a positive return on investment by increasing access to preventative,high-quality care beyond the clinical setting thus improving health outcomes. 3) increase access to culturally and linguistically diverse providers beyond the clinical setting. 9
THW Logic Model Link between the deliverable and the Vision for improved Health OHPB Recommendation Implement recommendations of the Traditional Health Worker (THW) Commission Activities andResources CCOs develop & implement a plan that includes: THW integration into service delivery, member & provider communication re scope of practice, benefits, and availability of THW services; plan for increasing THW utilization, and THW service delivery model that reflects best practices from THW Commission. CCOs establish sustainable payment rates using APMs for THW services. CCOs provide REALD data by THW category. OHA provides TA & learning collaborative to supportCCOs. Short-term Expected Outcomes (2-4years) Increase in THW workforce integration, utilization, retention, & payment. Decrease in average wait time for accessing THW services. Increase in # and proportion of care teams that include THWs, as appropriate for members healthcare needs. Visibility into the demand for THWs by type and alignment with memberneeds. Long-term Expected Outcomes (5+years) Improvement in health outcomes, and decrease in health inequity factoring race, ethnicity, and primary language. Delivery of culturally competent navigation, education, and coordination that actively supports member health and social needs. Transitions of care involving THWs are intentional/plannedwithinthedeliverysystemto support ongoing memberhealthandsocial needs. 10
