MINUTES - Draft <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br />October 28, 2020 <br />S:\Managers Working Files\BOH\Agenda & Abstracts\2020 Agenda & Abstracts/ October Page 2 <br />presentation on NCCARE360, its network status update and how to get involved. Below are <br />some highlights. <br /> <br />• NCCARE360, which was rolled out in 2019, is the first statewide electronic referral <br />network that unites healthcare and human services organizations and enables a <br />coordinated, community-oriented, person-centered approach for delivering case <br />management in NC. Any organization that is providing services that impact health or the <br />social determinants of health can onboard to the platform to better streamline their <br />referral process. Partners include the NC DHHS (the brainchild behind NCCARE360), <br />the Foundation for Health Leadership and Innovation (provided the funding), Unite Us <br />(developed the network platform), NC 211 and the United Way. <br />• The main goal of the network is to make sure that North Carolinians are getting <br />connected to the agencies that can help them and are ultimately getting the help that <br />best fits their needs. <br />• There are over 200 service types in the platform. <br />• NCCARE360’s referral process is different from the traditional referral process in that: <br />o Information is stored and transferred on United Us’ HIPPA, FERPA, FIPS, VAWA <br />and 42 CFR Part 2-compliant platform. All data is encrypted, secure and compliant <br />with security and data storage standards and breach and enforcement rules. <br />o Informed consent is requested by the system once before the first referral is made <br />which gives their consent to have their information shared in order to receive <br />services from network partners. <br />o Clients are matched with the provider(s) they qualify for. <br />o Providers have insight into the entire client journey. <br />o Longitudinal data is tracked to allow for informed decision-making by community care <br />teams. Reports can be pulled to understand information about the clients you serve, <br />services you provide and the referrals you send and receive. <br />o If the client wants to be notified of their referral(s) status, once they give permission, <br />they can be enrolled to receive notifications whether via phone or email. <br />o Clients also have the option of looking for resources themselves. They’re able to do <br />so and the referral request is sent to NC 211. <br />• There are entities that are required to use NCCARE360 for their referrals including <br />Healthy Opportunities Pilot grantees, PHPs for Medicaid Transformation and community <br />health workers. <br />• Network status update: <br />o NCCARE360 is live in all 100 counties in NC. <br />o There are over 1,700 organizations onboarded, over 4,134 users and over 5,600 <br />referrals have been sent. <br />• To become a partner: <br />o You’ll need to submit a partner registration form. <br />o Determine how you want your organization to be set up in the network. <br />o There are webinars every Tuesday at 2pm, self-guided and in-person trainings <br />available. <br /> <br />B. 1ST Quarter Financial Reports & Billing Dashboards <br /> <br />Rebecca Crawford, Financial & Administrative Services Director, gave a report on the 1st quarter <br />revenue and billing accuracy in FY 20-21.
