2014:
On November 7, 2014 OPIP’s Director, Colleen Reuland, was invited to present at the National Committee for Quality Assurance’s (NCQA) 9th Annual Conference: “Innovation Driving Value”, held in Washington DC along with some of the nation’s top thought leaders and policymakers to explore new approaches to more patient-centered, affordable, high-quality care. Keynote speakers included muscular dystrophy patient Vance Taylor with his inspirational perspective on overcoming adversity, and CMS’ Sean Cavanaugh on efforts to move Medicare to paying for value instead of volume.

On November 6, 2014 we held a meeting titled “Enhancing Child Health in Oregon (ECHO): Advancing Transformation and the Triple Aim”. This gathering was attended by Oregon policymakers and child health stakeholders. The goals were for participants to (1) Learn about the impact of ECHO on transforming care provided to children and adolescents; (2) Discuss factors that facilitated or impeded transformation; and (3) Identify policy opportunities to spread and sustain best practices.
