Special thanks to CAC members Cathy Levine and Doug Anderson for providing content expertise on the Affordable Care Act during the question and answer session. 1
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. Office of Health Transformation Senior Options SPAN Ohio System navigators for the exchange UHCAN Ohio Helpline Updates from Ellen Rapkin-She received lots of great comments on the usefulness of her updates!!!

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
