Accountable Communities of Health
Phase II Certification Questions & Answers
July 21, 2017

This document provides answers to questions received from the Accountable Communities of
Health (ACHs) and/or their Regional Coordinators about the Phase II Certification requirements.
Please note that we have taken the liberty to paraphrase some questions.

Oregon Health Information Technology (HIT)
Commons Business Plan
A public/private collaborative to further HIT Spread in Oregon

Jointly prepared by the Office of Health Information Technology,
Oregon Health Authority and the Oregon Health Leadership Council

A number of changes were made to the Project Plan Template and Supplemental Workbook based on ACH, stakeholder and general public feedback

Refining requirements on Required Health Systems and Community Capacity (Domain 1) Focus Area and removing the requirement to address Domain 1 at a project level

Modifying level of detail required for project funding allocation by organization and use types

Increasing the word count in several sections

Adding detailed submission instructions

The certification process will ensure each Accountable Community of Health (ACH) is capable of serving as the regional lead entity and single point of performance accountability to the state for transformation projects under the Medicaid Transformation Project demonstration (demonstration).

DSRIP provides opportunity to build provider capability as it relates to VBP; VBP adoption can reinforce and sustain DSRIP investments

Providers’ understanding of the core capabilities needed to succeed in VBP varies greatly

ACHs must also understand the needed capabilities, the current state of these capabilities among their provider partners, and how they can leverage DSRIP funds to support development of capabilities moving forward

HCA has engaged Myers and Stauffer LC to serve as the Delivery System Reform Incentive Program (DSRIP) Independent Assessor for the Medicaid Transformation Demonstration. Myers and Stauffer will conduct assessments of Project Plans submitted by Accountable Communities of Health on November 16, 2017. We are seeking your comments on two components of Myers and Stauffer’s Project Plan review tool: the evaluation criteria/definitions and scoring methodology. (September 22, 2017)
