Hello OPRA members,

 

Please mark your calendars…The next OPRA Policy/Rules Group meeting will be held on August 21, 2017 from 10a-2p.  The updated agenda is attached.  This meeting is going to be very action-oriented regarding current hot topics presented by members. 

 

As you are aware, there are many important workgroups going on right now to address the member priority areas of MUI/UI revision of rule and process; OACB/OPRA workgroup; Provider Certification.  We will be sharing updates related to the actions/recommendations from each of these workgroups since last month’s Policy meeting.  We will also be eliciting feedback related to subjects on the agenda for future: Unscheduled Hospitalizations, Peer-to-Peer, and Failure to report.   Please come prepared to discuss and finalize input on those areas. 

 

In addition, due to the overwhelming response received regarding the rule around GED/HS diploma requirement and waiver, the OPRA Policy meeting for August will have a session for recommendations related to possible rule changes and further defining OPRA’s approach/strategies surrounding this subject.   We are hoping to have as many members present at the meeting to thoroughly review, provide solidified approaches to recommendations for rule revision and/or process changes. 

 

We are looking forward to seeing everyone there for this meeting!
Becky
