The next steps will be to deliver plans to lawmakers by February, 2012. Success will depend on public participation and gathering the best thinking in our state. To that end, Gov. Kitzhaber is calling for nominations for people to participate in the process. There are opportunities for short-term service on HB 3650 work groups and longer term service on the Oregon Health Insurance Exchange Board of Directors. *WORK GROUPS: OREGON HEALTH SYSTEM TRANSFORMATION* - House Bill 3650 Deadline for application: 9 a.m., Friday, July 15, 2011 Oregon has 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 four work 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, please go to www.health.oregon.gov. ** *OREGON** HEALTH INSURANCE EXCHANGE BOARD OF DIRECTORS - SB 99* Deadline for application: 9 a.m., Friday, July 15, 2011 Senate Bill 99 created the Oregon Health Insurance Exchange Corporation as a public corporation overseen by a nine-member Board of Directors.
