Page 2 of 2 The Center will not only have resources to prepare reports and conduct research that weren't there before, it will also serve as a consultant to safety net providers. It will eliminate duplication, while strengthening the quality of the information through collaborative input. Special attention will be given to project areas such as the East Side Initiative.Other objectives of the Center include: · Foster collaboration between federally qualified health centers and Medicaid qualified health plans to expand access to primary care for Medicaid recipients. · Provide a data resource on Medicaid and uninsured people in Wayne County that can be used for safety net planning and advocacy. · Conduct demonstration projects on care of Medicaid and uninsured people that show the value of safety net health services. · Develop mechanisms that attract financial resources for safety net providers that will ensure long term sustainability. The strength of the Center is in the collaboration of its partners -- something that hasn't occurred often in Detroit health care delivery. Consensus building is a very important initial step toward achieving an effective partnership on information sharing. Collaborating organizations include Voices of Detroit Initiative, United Way of Southeastern Michigan, Michigan Primary Care Association, Southeast Michigan Health Association, Greater Detroit Area Health Council, Michigan Department of Community Health, Wayne County and City of Detroit Health Department, and the Wayne County Patient Management System. |
