Provider Directory Updates Karen Hale
Updates since last time PD SME meeting on August 9th Use case reviews to clarify purposes and prioritize Removed use cases: network adequacy and in-network search Other discussion highlights: Network affiliations and private carriers are difficult to track; there is value in knowing affiliations of providers to commercial carriers and Medicaid/CCOs Provider Directory may not support a referrals use cases fully but enable having the correct practice information for a provider Accepting new patients remains tricky Common Credentialing will have these fields but they are not mandatory fields In August, OHA talked to Medicare Advantage (MA) compliance and policy staff to get a better sense of MA policies and alignment with the Provider Directory PDAC and PD-SME nominations
HIT Commons: Update and Progress Sean Carey Lead Analyst, OHA
Why pursue an HIT Commons? Key Opportunities and Objectives Establish a stakeholder-led, neutral governance and decision-making process for investing in HIT efforts Leverage opportunities for shared funding of efforts with statewide impact Coordinate efforts to enable a network of networks for HIE Facilitate access to high-value data (e.g., Prescription Drug Monitoring Program) Support core infrastructure needed for care coordination and alternative payment models 7
Anticipated Benefits of an HIT Commons Achieve HIT goals more effectively with critical mass Coordinate and support shared interests of health care stakeholders and OHA to meet the vision of a transformed health delivery system optimized by HIT Support cooperation and data sharing to improve care for all Oregonians Accelerate adoption and spread of HIT initiatives Support a stakeholder-led process that allows those closest to the work ability to govern and direct efforts Shared equitable funding supports entities that face resource barriers to raise all boats Maximize Oregon s state and federal resources to advance HIT optimized health care 8
Building an HIT Commons Business Plan Goal: Build an HIT Commons model to accelerate Oregon s progress toward an HIT-optimized health care delivery system Build on the success of EDIE/PreManage Governance model OHA grant to OHLC, joint team to staff effort Sensing Sessions: Staff-led discussions with HITOC and other advisory committees and individual stakeholders to gather themes, over 50 organizations represented HIT Commons Interim Advisory Group: Limited duration, interim committee to lead evaluation & merit of Public/Private partnership for HIT 9
Proposed Management Structure Initially expand on EDIE governance model Leverage OHLC as fiscal agent and management staff Interim Advisory Group continues to meet to nominate the new HIT Commons Board to serve staggered three-year terms Representative board positions mirror EDIE Utility with some additions. Geographical diversity, positional (e.g., technical, operational, etc.) diversity, consumer representation. Eventually establish new 501(c)(3) after successful launch 10
Proposed HIT Commons Initiatives and Funding Initial scope and process for adding new projects RACI needed on each initiative to clarify role(s) of the Commons and ensure alignment with OHA and other partners Criteria/process for adding new projects, maintaining independence for adopting new projects Further definition about how ideas come to HIT Commons for consideration Funding model: Two components for Commons administration and initiative-specific costs: Available OHA/Medicaid HITECH funds for Medicaid share of development and implementation; and, Dues built on the current EDIE dues structure spreading costs across participants Initial OHLC funding for start up (OHLC Board 8/1/17) 11
