2017 FINANCIAL, OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT / INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE 3#FOMIT17
Welcome
WELCOME to the 2017 NACHC Financial, Operations Management/Information Technology
(FOM/IT) Conference & EXPO . The FOM/IT is a key educational conference dedicated to helping
health centers achieve excellence and accountability in all dimensions of management and
operations, leading to greater value and quality in health care delivery .
For the past 11 years, the NACHC FOM/IT Conference has been aligned with health center growth
and development strategies . It offers health center leaders the opportunity to look to the future
– to assess trends and public policies reshaping the health care industry – and to acquire the
information and business “intelligence” needed to successfully meet goals – and adapt and
prepare for a constantly changing and challenging health care environment .
This year’s FOM/IT opens discussion on issues and challenges at-hand as health centers move
to incorporate the critical in-house systems and technology infrastructure to support greater
operational effectiveness and efficiency . Our program includes presentations by experts in the
field as well as interactive learning sessions . Education sessions cover a range of timely topics
such as: Data to Demonstrate Value; Budget Forecasting in an Era of Uncertainty; HRSA’s New
Compliance Manual; and Utilizing Technology to Improve Provider Retention.
The FOM/IT is your opportunity to learn, network, and to share ideas and insights with
colleagues based on your health center’s experiences, successes, and innovations . Our NACHC
Family joins in thanking you for your support and participation as each of us continues to
strengthen our health centers for a healthier America .

■ IThC1 Celebrity 4Analyzing Federal Funding ChangesCPE: 1 .8 CME/CE/Governance: 1 .5
Level: Intermediate Prerequisite(s): Knowledge of 330 grant regulations . Topic: Finance
There are several threats to health center funding at the federal level - the 330 funding cliff, repeal of the Medicaid expansion, and block grants/per capita caps . This session will present analytical tools to measure the financial impact of each potential change . Presenters will also evaluate strategies that health centers can develop now to address funding changes .
11:00am – 12:30pmEDUCATION SESSION
■ IThA1 Celebrity 1-2Your Health Center Billing Department: Highly Functioning or Not?CPE: 1 .8 CME/CE/Governance: 1 .5
Level: Intermediate Prerequisite(s): Knowledge of FQHC billing . Topic: Finance
With ever-shrinking grant funding, billing incomes are the number one source of revenue for community health centers (CHCs) . As CHCs add new programs, open new access points, or operate in Medicaid expansion regions, the billing department grows not only in importance but in complications as well . This will become ever more critical with proposed changes to the insurance market in 2017 and beyond . This high-level overview gives CHC Leadership easy-to-use tools that allow them to measure and benchmark their organizations against similar CHCs in their own states as well as nationally . These tools will allow you to track payments per encounter, denial (nonpayment) rates, proper staffing, and the overall performance of your billing department .
Learning Objectives: § Understand the billing and collections process at a CHC
and how changes in the ACA affect this important source of revenue .
§ Analyze data available from different sources (billing systems, UDS Reports, etc .) to find trends, post-ACA, for those CHCs in Medicaid expansion states and those that did not expand .
§ Understand best practices and benchmarks in relation to billing and collections employed by CHC organizations nationally .

■ IThD1 Melrose 3-4Innovative Data Mining and Analytics: Population Health 2.0CPE: 1 .8 CME/CE/Governance: 1 .5
Level: Advanced Prerequisite(s): Knowledge of data mining and data analytic systems and experience working with FQHCs, PCAs, and/or HCCNs . Topic: HIT
Many community health centers have access to a plethora of data that are not fully utilized and analyzed . In collaboration with the University of California at Irvine (UCI) Division of Hematology, we sought to take a closer look at two rare blood disorders-- thrombocytosis and erythrocytosis . The initial screening for these disorders can be easily noted from a CBC with evidence of an elevated platelet count or hemoglobin level . We sought to run a data mining pilot project to delineate how many of our patients could potentially have these rare blood disorders .
In our initial data filter, there were about 100 patients who had elevated levels of platelets which will need further investigation . The researcher and hematologist/oncologist at UCI will also address our providers on this topic and our future research collaboration, as approximately 20 percent of these patients may also have an associated co-morbid inflammatory bowel disease and would benefit from genetic testing . This pilot project will demonstrate how partnerships between community health centers and major university research institutions can function in the future models of population health and data analytics/mining .
Learning Objectives: § Explain the advanced role of population health 2 .0 . § Identify the steps involved in undergoing a data analytic
approach (presented by an informatics health specialist) . § Elaborate on how to collaborate with major university
research organizations .
Presenter(s):Rodney Samaan, MD, MPH, Clinical Informatics and Innovation Director, Clinica Romero
■ IThE1 Wilshire BallroomUsing the Electronic Health Record to Address LGBT Disparities in Primary CareCPE: 1 .8 CME/CE/Governance: 1 .5
Level: Basic Topic: HIT
LGBT people face stigma and related health disparities in health care . In spite of the advancements in LGBT acceptance and policy, many LGBT people remain largely invisible to their providers . Meaningful Use Stage 3 includes the requirement that all certified EHR systems have the capacity to record sexual orientation (SO) and gender identity (GI) . HRSA now requires that all FQHCs report SOGI data on their annual Uniform Data Systems (UDS) reports . Collecting SOGI data of patients is critical for health care organizations to provide a welcoming, inclusive environment and allow HCPs to better understand their LGBT patients .
Routine SOGI data collection in the EHR can be used to measure and track health outcomes at the individual and population levels . The EHR is an important tool for managing quality for populations and developing quality and monitoring reports, like a Transgender Dashboard, that can help reduce health dispari-ties . Experiences and processes of implementing changes within the EHR and workflows will be shared . Training all staff, including non-clinical staff, are key to the successful implementation of SOGI data collection and creating an LGBT inclusive environment in primary care .
Learning Objectives: § Describe how the customization of an EHR can improve com-
munication, data, and quality management activities includ-ing the collection and reporting of patient-level information, clinical outcomes, and better care coordination .
§ Understand the impact SOGI data collection will have on key stakeholders (patients, staff, and management) .
§ Identify methods to actively engage and educate staff on the importance of collecting SOGI data and how to do so, and its impact on health disparities .

Level: Intermediate Prerequisite(s): Knowledge of 330 scope of services . Topic: Finance
Growth is a primary objective of most health center strategic plans and is often accomplished through the addition of new sites . Many organizations focus on the planning and construc-tion, and the excitement of that first day . But there are myriad regulatory steps to perform to ensure you receive appropriate payment for the services delivered at your new site . BPHC, Medicare, and Medicaid each have specific requirements, as do NCQA and other accrediting bodies . Incomplete or missing forms can delay eligibility for payment and result in cash flow challenges . Session presenters will discuss these various require-ments and provide a tool for tracking needed activities .
Learning Objectives: § Understand the various Medicare enrollment requirements . § Identify examples of state-specific Medicaid enrollment
requirements . § Develop a tool for ensuring the timely completion of all forms
and for predicting cash flow .

Level: Intermediate Prerequisite(s): Knowledge of fiscal forecasting models . Topic: Finance
This workshop will take the operational results of an average health center and look at the risks of maintaining the status quo . Presently health centers have incentive to analyze their operational results and going forward they will have a need . The presenters will discuss the recent trends related to health center cost of care and model both the operational and financial effects of moving the needle up or down on various cost drivers .
Learning Objectives: § Understand the financial implications of total cost of care . § Identify ways that you might analyze your operating results . § Identify recent trends related to health care costs .
Presenter(s):Matthew Borchardt, Principal, CliftonLarsonAllen
■ IThC2 Celebrity 4Keeping It Simple: Using Data to Demonstrate the Value of Health Centers on One PageCPE: 1 .8 CME/CE/Governance: 1 .5
Level: Basic Topic: Operations
Demonstrating the value of a health center in a simple format is harder than it looks . The Massachusetts PCA, HCCN, and Capital Link worked together to produce a one-page, easy-to-read handout that highlights the data that presents health centers in a positive light . Figuring out which data to use and which to omit was difficult, but the end result is an easy-to-use, flexible document that can serve a variety of needs for any health center .
Learning Objectives: § Understand uses for different types of data . § Determine which data uses are appropriate in different
settings . § Select data specific for advocacy .
Presenter(s):Diana Erani, MBA, HCCN Director, Massachusetts League of Community Health CentersAllison Coleman, MBA, Chief Executive Officer, Capital Link

■ IThA3 Celebrity 1-2The New Compliance Manual and Its Impact on the Program Requirements CPE: 1 .8 CME/CE/Governance: 1 .5
Level: Basic Topic: Operations
In August 2017, HRSA issued the final Health Center Program Compliance Manual, providing a streamlined and consoli-dated resource to assist health centers in understanding and demonstrating compliance with the Program Requirements . The Manual replaces several Policy Information Notices (PINs) and Program Assistance Letters (PALs), consolidating guidance into one document addressing the elements of the Program Requirements, methodology for documenting compliance, and specific areas of flexibility . HRSA also indicated it is “field testing” a new assessment protocol aligned with the Manual, which, once final, will replace the current Health Center Program Site Visit Guide for assessing compliance during Operational Site Visits (OSVs) .
Of importance, the Manual was effective immediately upon publication . What does that mean for health centers with upcoming grant applications and OSVs? While the requirements outlined in the Manual continue to reflect the statutory and regulatory mandates, the Manual incorporates a new approach to “everyday “compliance, providing both specific steps to demonstrate compliance and explicit areas where health centers retain discretion to tailor their programs appropriately . Join FTLF as they explore key differences between the prior guidance, the Manual, and implications for health center operations . Participants will discuss “tips” to implement specific compliance steps and utilize the discretion afforded their specific projects .
Learning Objectives: § Understand the key differences between the prior guidance
and the new manual and its impact on OSVs . § Understand the specific steps necessary to demonstrate
compliance and areas where health centers retain discretion . § Identify the PINs and PALs that have been replaced by the
new manual and which current guidance is still effective .

■ IThC3 Celebrity 4The Intersection of Finance and Strategy: Forecasting and Re-Budgeting to Manage UncertaintyCPE: 1 .8 CME/CE/Governance: 1 .5
Level: Advanced Prerequisite(s): Knowledge of 330 grant regulations . Topic: Finance
Health Center leadership must be able to analyze and act upon financial information as part of an overall approach to strategic decision-making . This training will focus on the use of forecast-ing, budgeting, and scenario planning to support leaders in recognizing the underlying economic logic of programs, and adapting quickly to ensure business model sustainability . The presenter will address current regulations and issues that impact health centers . The development and use of internal and exter-nal financial reports will be discussed with an emphasis on using financial information in decision-making . Tools and techniques of financial statement analysis, interpretation, and presentation will also be discussed and practiced during the session . This training is designed to improve financial fluency across agency leadership, including: the practice of critical and analytical thinking; the ability to synthesize and plan; the knowledge of how to evaluate and respond quickly; and the skills to effectively
communicate financial data . We will address the real challenges, problems, and opportunities of health centers dealing with and responding to the current economic environment .
Learning Objectives: § Develop and use financial forecasting and budgeting tools to
support an overall approach to strategic decision-making . § Identify techniques to effectively communicate financial
information with key decision-makers across your agency . § Define the underlying economic logic of your health center
business line and use that information to support and sustain a healthy business model for your health center .

■ IThD3 Melrose 3-4If You Build It, They May Not Come: Expanding Primary Care in Health Care DesertsCPE: 1 .8 CME/CE/Governance: 1 .5
Level: Basic Topic: Operations
Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are uniquely poised to leverage new health care funding to expand their capacity in underserved communities . To access these funds, FQHCs use their expertise and community assessments to determine where health care deserts exists; however just opening a new clinic in an underserved community does not guarantee that it will be highly accessed by the surrounding population . Since 2015, Brightpoint Health has opened six new clinics and increased its patients’ visits from 20,000 visits to 180,000 by year’s end . This session will discuss a four-point strategy for building a flourish-ing clinic . These strategies are: a traditional community-level marketing campaign, targeted outreach to community partners, integration of wrap-around and clinic services, and the incorpo-ration of local private physicians with pre-existing patient panels . This combined strategy is replicable in other communities and states, and offers key lessons learned that can be utilized in a variety of diverse settings .
Learning Objectives: § Apply successful growth practices in your FQHC . § Build a comprehensive and sustainable business develop-
ment strategy . § Evaluate local markets to determine best opportunities for
mergers, acquisitions, and affiliations to maximize patient growth .

■ IThE3 Wilshire BallroomAn Innovative Teledermatology Approach to Improve Health OutcomesCPE: 1 .8 CME/CE/Governance: 1 .5
Level: Basic Topic: HIT
Studies show that one out of every five Americans will develop skin cancer . Health center patients wait an average 180 days from a provider ordering a referral until a dermatology appoint-ment is scheduled, 75 days from when the dermatology appoint-ment is scheduled until the appointment occurs, and another 44 days from the dermatology appointment until a consult is received back from the dermatologist . This session will discuss how seven community health centers in Massachusetts collabo-rated on a two-year pilot project to test a triaging system that would reduce the number of unnecessary referrals and the wait time for a dermatological consultation .
This program has already seen some very positive outcomes and very serious and urgent cases are being caught much more quickly due to the triaging system . Successes and challenges related to operations and electronic medical record integration will be presented to participants for consideration as they plan their own implementation initiatives .
Learning Objectives: § Understand the positive health outcomes of implementing
teledermatology at a CHC . § Understand how to implement this type of program at a CHC . § Identify the challenges associated with trying to implement
an innovative teledermatology program .

■ IFD2 Melrose 3-4Implementation and Scalability of a Clinic-Based Medical Assistant Training Program to Improve Recruitment, Retention, and Continued Team-Based Care TransformationCPE: 1 .8 CME/CE/Governance: 1 .5
Level: Intermediate Prerequisite(s): Experience with hiring, onboarding, and training staff . Topic: Operations
Currently, training programs for medical assistants (MAs) have not caught up with the national move toward Patient-Centered Medical Home recognition and value-based care . Therefore, recruiting MAs trained for these advanced roles is challenging . Moreover, the leading primary care agencies bear the burden to provide extensive practical training for individuals they hire . These challenges result in extra recruitment and training costs, inefficiencies from staffing shortages, and lack of proper support for providers . A response is to create clinic-based training for MAs .
Implementing an academic training program from the ground up requires a significant commitment and investment of resources: financial and human capital . Projections during the planning and initial start-up year for the National Institute for Medical Assistant Advancement (NIMAA) indicated a substantial need and demand for this service . While the initial investment was significant, it was projected that once the program was up and running the payback would be fairly rapid and that, over time, the project would offer significant return on investment that could be used to further support the mission of the health centers along with ensuring a viable answer to the challenge of recruiting highly-trained individuals into these more advanced MA roles .
Friday, October 27, 2017, continued
Learning Objectives: § Discuss the challenges regarding the recruitment and
retention of MAs in roles at clinics defined as Patient-Centered Medical Homes .
§ Understand how an MA training program was designed and implemented from the ground up to ensure enhanced education for MAs .
§ Understand the financial analysis required to project return on investment when reviewing and supporting innovative initiatives .

■ IFE2 Wilshire BallroomImproving Quality Family Planning Service Provision Through Interoperability Solutions and Clinical MeasuresCPE: 1 .8 CME/CE/Governance: 1 .5
Level: Basic Topic: HIT
Health centers play an integral role in the provision of family planning services to reproductive-aged women and men . To support delivery of family planning in FQHC settings, the Office of Population Affairs is laying the foundation for new eMeasures, for contraceptive care, that measure the percentage of repro-ductive-aged women provided a most effective (i .e ., sterilization, contraceptive implants, intrauterine devices or systems) or moderately effective (i .e ., injectables, oral pills, patch, ring, or diaphragm) contraceptive method and who have access to long-acting reversible contraceptive methods .
A core set of family planning and reproductive health data elements needed to calculate the measures, including new data elements for pregnancy intention, sexual activity, and contraceptive method provided during a clinical encounter, have been mapped to new and existing code sets (including LOINC, SNOMED CT, and RxNorm) . Also, two interoperability mecha-nisms, one that is based in Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (CCDA) and one that utilizes Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), are being developed to capture standardized, patient-level data on family planning and reproductive health . Health centers can use these measures to improve the provision of quality family planning services to their clients and ensure these clients have access to the full range of contraceptive methods .

■ IFB3 Celebrity 3Why Clinical Coding Matters... The Impact on Future CompensationCPE: 1 .8 CME/CE/Governance: 1 .5
Level: Basic Topic: Finance
Value-based care and quality payment models have made coding an integral part of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA), Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), and Quality Payment Program (QPP) . While CHCs are eligible, but not obligated to report via QPP and penalties for 2017 data do not impact CHC PPS payments, CHC exclusion won’t last forever . Learning how current CHC coding/billing patterns impact how your organization, individually, and CHCs, collectively, are perceived may change the historic CHC tune of “coding does not matter .”
During this session, attendees will gain a better understanding of the evolution and the future of the value-based care national landscape including the insurance industry perspective . Leave with tools that allow you to execute an effective ‘top-down’ QPP game plan including ICD-10 coding specifics and physician documentation improvement .

■ IFD3 Melrose 3-4CMS Emergency Preparedness Final Rule: Make Sure Your Health Center Is ReadyCPE: 1 .8 CME/CE/Governance: 1 .5
Level: Basic Topic: Operations
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released its long-awaited final rule establishing emergency preparedness requirements for 17 health care providers and suppliers partici-pating in Medicare and Medicaid programs, which specifically includes federally qualified health centers . The rule establishes consistent emergency preparedness requirements across pro-vider types . The rule went into effect on November 16, 2016, and Medicare and Medicaid participating providers and suppliers, including health centers, must comply by November 17, 2017 .
The new rule is far-reaching and requires providers to conduct annual risk assessments and develop emergency plans . Providers must develop and implement policies and procedures to successfully execute their emergency plans, while addressing risks identified during their most recent assessment phase . Providers must also establish a communications plan to communicate and coordinate patient care within and outside

■ IFE3 Wilshire BallroomTelemedicine: When to Embark on an Alternate Care Delivery Model?CPE: 1 .8 CME/CE/Governance: 1 .5
Level: Basic Topic: HIT
As medical practices move from a fee-for-service reimbursement environment to fee-for-value reimbursement, it is increasingly important for the financial health of the organization to be able to optimally manage the health of the practice’s patient popula-tion in a cost-effective manner . For a community health center (CHC) practice, the decision to offer medical services virtually, however, does not come without significant organizational com-mitment and investment cost . From a clinical perspective, virtual care requires physician acceptance of a paradigm shift in how a relationship is established between patient and physician . From a financial perspective, key areas of concern are: (1) return on investment (ROI) projections; and (2) the potential implications of not offering a virtual visit solution .
This presentation seeks to: provide a review of existing literature on the topic of telemedicine with a focus on synchronous virtual encounters in primary care; evaluate experiences of primary care practices; and, ultimately, provide additional knowledge to assist practice administrators and key stakeholders in decision-making and strategic planning as it relates to the value of virtual visits to the future of their organizations .

■ IFB4 Celebrity 3How Many Spreadsheets Does It Take to Run a Health Center?CPE: 1 .8 CME/CE/Governance: 1 .5
Level: Basic Topic: HIT
We are told just about every day in health care that data is the future, we need to get better at data, we need to justify our knowledge with data, and we need data to receive funding in the future . But how are we handling data today? Are we still working with multiple spreadsheets? Inputting data by hand? If we are unable to handle the little day-to-day encounters with data, is there any hope for us when the viability of the health center depends on reporting large amounts of data on a daily basis? Creating a culture where analysts understand the data cycle will be a defining characteristic of successful health centers .
Many of us understand the revenue cycle, but alongside this and other business processes is the data cycle . This cycle involves how the various bits and pieces of information flow throughout our electronic environments (and sometimes paper environ-ments) . This cycle is full of opportunities for efficiency that we overlook in our day-to-day activities . Directors and managers don’t have the time to find and improve the data cycle . This is where we need to have analysts be the eyes on the front lines of the health center .
Learning Objectives: § Identify the data cycle in the health center operations . § Identify how mismanaging data can cost the health center
money . § Utilize all employees as analysts to improve the data cycle .

Level: Intermediate Prerequisite(s): Knowledge of HIPAA/HITECH and IT Systems and experience working with FQHCs, PCAs, and/or HCCNs . Topic: HIT
In April 2017, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announced a $400,000 HIPAA settlement with a federally qualified health center . Although the health center responded appropriately to an email phishing incident affecting over 3,000 patient records, OCR found that the health center failed to complete the required risk assessment process and it failed to implement any cor-responding risk management plans to address the risks and vulnerabilities identified in a risk analysis . With each settlement announced, OCR is sending a message to similar health care entities and this time the message was clearly directed at health centers . In this session, we’ll review the health system settlement and several other recent settlements to identify enforcement trends, settlement trends, and lessons learned .
Learning Objectives: § Identify key HIPAA Privacy and Security Rule enforcement
actions relevant to health centers and other community providers .
§ Understand risk assessment and risk management require-ments under HIPAA .

■ IFE4 Wilshire BallroomPutting the Puzzle Together: A Creative Team-Based Approach to Employee Health Care PurchasingCPE: 1 .8 CME/CE/Governance: 1 .5
Level: Basic Topic: Operations
Choosing an employee health plan should be a collective decision-making process involving employees, HR, leadership teams, and board members . But, often it gets punted to a few individuals and rushed through right before renewals are due . As a result, organizations may not be getting the best financial deal, and employees may face unexpected – and possibly unwelcome – changes in their plans . With health care as both one of the largest line items on an organization’s budget and the most important benefit for employees, this is far from a best practice for health care purchasing .
One solution is to establish a health care purchasing feedback program . Starting with a small group of decision-makers, a feed-back program can reach out to all audiences in an organization to solicit input on potential health insurance plans . By engaging a diverse group in the process, CHCs are ensured that all voices are heard when making critical decisions about what health care program best serves the organization and the employees .
This interactive workshop will delve into health care purchasing feedback programs, specifically focusing on one CHC’s experi-ence with this model and how it created early buy-in across all audiences for a completely new – and wholly beneficial – partial self-insurance program .
Learning Objectives: § Understand how a health care purchasing feedback program
can create a sense of ownership and satisfaction with benefits across all internal audiences .
§ Identify the various data collection methods involved with a health care purchasing feedback program and how to use them effectively in the decision-making process .
§ Understand why it’s critical to start early and the strategies for engaging with all audiences in manageable ways .
