Update from Health Share of Oregon

See below for an update from Health Share of Oregon on their current status.

The latest activities at Health Share: 

• HSO began operating as a CCO and serving OHP enrollees on September 1.  It was a very smooth transition, with only one minor glitch in the computer system at OHA over the Labor Day weekend that was fixed almost immediately.

• HSO's first priority was to do no harm to our Members.  In order to minimize any potential disruption for OHP members, HSO allowed members to stay enrolled with their current health plans, under the HSO umbrella.  This will ensure that members may continue access all of their current providers.

• In the coming months, HSO will be working with members, the provider community, and other stakeholders to migrate and consolidate CCO services, where appropriate, to maximize efficiency and coordinate across systems.

HSO's CAC has held two monthly meetings to date.  Stephen Weiss is the Chair of the CAC; Dalila Sarabia is the Vice Chair; Ronda Harrison is the Secretary; and Amy Anderson and Faith Gilstrap are members of the Executive Committee.  The complete CAC roster can be found on the HSO Fact Sheet.

• The  CAC has begun the process of discussing and thinking through their responsibility of overseeing the Community Needs Assessment process, adopting a Community Health Improvement Plan, and producing an annual report on the progress toward achieving the Community Health Improvement Plan
  
The CAC will also participate and contribute to the development of HSO's Transformation Plan.

• Beginning at the October 5th CAC meeting, there will an opportunity for the Public to come and submit oral or written comments on the CAC's or HSO's work. Please visithttp://healthshareoregon.org/about/community-advisory-council/ closer to the meeting date for more details.
