The
minutes from the November Steering Committee meeting were
read and approved.
Process Improvement Collaborative-
Patty Martin, Renate Pore, Sharon Carte and Marla Short are
participating in the CKF process improvement collaborative.
In December, 18 families were called and asked why they had
not renewed. A better response was received in the
evening vs. morning. Families were very receptive to
the calls. This small- scale research project is being
conducted in one county with the results to be sold
statewide. Our participation in this project fulfills
our simplification and coordination requirement for our CKF
project. Renate is working on a Simplification report,
which will be formatted and published.
Bendum Community Partner Grant-
The Coalition received a grant from Benedum for $125,000 to
be used for outreach and policy work. Twelve community
partners will be established across the state. An
announcement will be sent out with an application to apply.
They will be required to attend the 4 full coalition
meetings, set up a regional training session, and an outline
of an outreach project. Partners will be selected in
February.
The
ARC grant would also fund a similar project if the funding
is granted.
CHIP Update-
CHIP just released it’s annual report to the Legislature.
It contains some never before published information
including enrollment data (never enrolled before) and
utilization data. There were 240,000
unduplicated enrollments at some point in time during Oct.1,
2002 –Sept. 30, 2003. The unduplicated numbers have
decreased from the year before, while Medicaid’s
unduplicated number has increased. The results of the
CHIP customer satisfaction survey will be completed this
week. RAPIDS is testing a passive renewal notice in
February. New software will be purchased by RAPIDS
that will revamp all of the notices and make them more
‘reader friendly’. The CHIP renewal envelope is now marked
with “Important-time to renew your child’s health insurance
coverage.”
A
suggestion is made to contact Anne Durham to establish an
annual media/PR plan for the year. Renate will contact
Anne and get a price.
Office Update-
The Coalition may get a new phone number instead of sharing
the phone with Tolliver Consulting. The new number
will be released as soon as it is set up. As soon as
the new number is secured new stationary and envelopes will
be printed. Renate and Julie will be in the office on
Monday’s. The website is being updated by Julie and a
listserve is being established.
Best
practices in outreach papers are completed and will be
published this year. They will be distributed across
the state.
The
year-end grant reporting will be due by January 31, 2020.
This reporting will consist of a financial report, annual
narrative, annual bibliography and grant products and the
web-based reporting component. A discussion was held
to gather feedback on what areas we were successful in as
well as areas that we feel that we experienced difficulties.
These will be included in the reports.
The
meeting was adjourned.
Minutes submitted by Julie Greathouse
