Greetings friends and community partners,

I am reaching out to encourage advocates for and leadership in diverse
communities of color, communities of people with disabilities, and LGBTQ
communities to engage in assuring excellent nominations for several
Executive Appointments to implement Oregon's Health Care Reform laws.

Executive leadership, small business ownership, leadership or executive
experience with health insurance purchasing and health care
administration, public health, research and clinical leadership are
likely to be some of the critical skill sets for a competitive
nomination.

With communities of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ
individuals experiencing poorer health outcomes, the Exchange Board and
four other health care reform work groups listed below are critical
vehicles for assuring a health system that can address culturally
diverse, community-specific needs.  Please look at the call for
nominations below along with the attached information.

The deadline for applications is July 15 - so time is of the essence. 

Tricia Tillman

Oregonhas an opportunity before us. Given the high cost of health care
and the state budget realities, we all know we have to do something to
improve care and lower costs. To that end, the Legislature has passed HB
3650, which would restructure the Oregon Health Plan delivery system

through Coordinated Care Organizations. The goal is to bring better care
for clients through greater coordination, efficiency, accountability and
flexibility. 

To help develop the plan for Coordinated Care Organizations, there will
be fourwork groups, appointed by the Governor and chartered by the
Oregon Health Policy Board to provide input and consultation to Oregon
Health Authority staff between now and December 2011. The groups will
be: 

·         Coordinated Care Organization (CCO) criteria 
·         Global Budget Methodology
·         Outcomes, Quality and Efficiency Metrics 
·         Medicare-Medicaid Integration of Care and Services

For information on how to apply for one of the HB 3650 work groups,
