| Pt III, Line 2 | Member Services-The Arizona Council is only as strong as our member organizations. Our 112 members employ over 30,000 staff, operate over 700 facilities and serve over a million children, adults and families. Together we are a force to be reckoned with. Member organizations receive many benefits of membership including regular communication and technical assistance from the Arizona Council Staff. Through monthly general membership and committee meetings with our members, we were able to communicate, learn from and support each other. Quarterly forums with state agency representatives were held in September, December, March and June. Community forum topics included presentations on Census 2020, DD behavioral health integration, tools for patient engagement, collaborative care models for behavioral health, updatesfrom Health Current on the Health Information Exchange implementation and the Board of Behavioral Health Examiners. Monthly updates are provided to member agencies via email. We also hold monthly meeting with staff from AHCCCS and had regular participation of DCS staff in the Child Welfare committe. In anticipation of the 10/1/2018 Arizona Complete Care transition, the Arizona Council intiated educational forums for Health Plan staff prior to implementation of integrated care. Prior to and since the transition, Council staff have worked closely with AHCCCS staff to identify and mediate problems that resulted from the transition. We held daily and then weekly conference calls with our members to identify issues and concerns and worked with the Health Plans to address those concerns. At AHCCCS's request we hosted several multiday sessions individually with the Health Plans to address contracting, claims and credentialing concerns unique to each plan. We held our 2018 Member Conference, Thriving in Times of Change, Novemeber 29-30 at the Black Canyon Conference Center. Over 200 people attended the two day event and enjoyed 5 keynotes, 3 thought leader panels and 24 workshops. We completed our 8th biannual Salary/Benefit Survey, which surveyed over 50 positions and added 27 benefits questions as well. The survey was available to purchase in the fall of 2018. |
