Traditional public health crisis response too often is reactive. The government usually swings into action and throws funding at the problem, the crisis fades and the investments and lessons fade away as well. For COVID-19, NACHC proposed to work with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to rapidly create a reusable infrastructure that could spin up a COVID registry but also be used to power analytics for other NACHC-CDC public health efforts. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic can be used as an opportunity to advance electronic data extraction and reuse, build community networks of care using technology tools and invite our partners to participate in health interoperability approaches of the future.

Since March 2020, health centers across the country have responded to COVID-19. At the same time, health center boards have continued to govern health centers, adapting their own practices and priorities to meet the demands of the pandemic and ensure continuity. This session will outline key considerations for boards in several areas – such as virtual board meetings and decision-making, as well as key areas of board oversight - as health centers continue to navigate the pandemic.

No Going Back: State and Federal Telehealth Landscape in 2021 and Beyond
Preview Available
Identification: PTuA2
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced America’s health care system to adapt and rethink. A safe harbor for health centers has been the ability to expand telehealth care, and the benefits to our patients have been substantial. Preserving and expanding access to care during the pandemic was only possible due to state and federal telehealth policies that gave providers greater ability to expand access. However, many of these provisions expire when the pandemic-related Public Health Emergency (PHE) is terminated, likely in 2022. That is why a range of state and federal policy actions are required to make these advancements permanent. This session will focus on key policy actions that PCAs are pursuing to preserve and make permanent telehealth services in Medicare and Medicaid.
