Seeking to position local health departments within the NENCPPH to be effective partners in health care reform, a health care management workgroup met to consider how the health departments can best position themselves and demonstrate to others that they are effective in providing care management as North Carolina transitions to managed care. Interviews with some case managers from the local health departments (LHDs), along with some of their clients, were interviewed for inclusion in a document demonstrating the LHDs value in providing case mangement.
The NENCPPH has also invited Prepaid Health Plan representatives to the Board of Directors’ meetings to maintain open and up-to-date communication and information sharing.
