The following reflections were shared by participants and will be used for planning

purposes by the Community Advisory Committee:

1. Other than what you heard today, what additional information regarding health care reform would be helpful to you and your organization? Covering costs of prevention

How the exchange will look/operate

Learn about who is in the room and share contact information

Learn how access and capacity will be increased

Learn how we are/can help with access

Learn more about the potential of small businesses being forced to provide insurance through the exchange

Learn what integrated health care looks like for people with serious mental illness and what funding will be available for this work

Learn what tangible things non-profits can do to get involved so we are not “spectators”

More information on how free clinics can begin teaching patients on what to do and how to prepare them

Provide information on cost savings that is currently available

Provide the hospital administrator perspective

Share how the Massachusetts Exchange Works

Share information on how consumers will get information

Share information on the Affordable Care Act Provisions that will stay even if not all of the provisions stay in place (individual mandate, etc.)

Share tools that are available to help implement programs

Status of the Central Ohio Health Information Exchange

Understand how will emergency department visit be impacted

What incentives will be given to Medical institutions to get more primary care physicians/students

2. Other than what we shared today, are you aware of any health care reform activity in our community that would be crucial to share with others? Benefit Bank

COAAA

Franklin County covering kids and families

Health Policy Institute

Jenny Camper-Medication Compliance Discussions

Meaningful use of $ that providers can access for EHR and managing outcomes-standards of care

Need to set-up a local “tracking system” to see who’s doing what in regards to health care reform, expanding care/keeping people healthy; then identify who the lead contact person for these efforts.

3. What ideas do you have to help prepare local organizations to share accurate health care reform information with our community?

Connect with supportive housing and senior housing, and other living situations

Health Information Exchange

Hold a work session on Patient Navigators to help people sign-up for the exchange and how/if this work would relate to navigating the current system

Hold training session on health care reform for front-line non-profit staff

Invite patients to evening sessions

More learning sessions, like this one

More linking of the organizations here and sharing resources of health care providers/services

More opportunities for the train the trainer events on health care reform

Provider training curriculum for healthcare reforms

Publicize current educational tools for organizations to use

Train the trainers to help free clinics

Training for grass roots organizations

Website that updates the community on new provisions as they emerge and a phone line that consumers and practitioners can use to get answers to their questions
