Healthier Ohio – 2020 & Beyond

Progress Update

OSMA President, Susan Hubbell, M.D. updated Council on the Healthier Ohio: 2020 & Beyond Initiative that was launched at the OSMA Annual Meeting in April.

We had over 300 physicians complete a survey
and will be focusing our efforts on three areas with
an advisory group of OSMA members formed for
each area:

 

 

1. Pain Management and Opiate Prescribing – assessing current challenges with OARRS, EHRs and insurance coverage and working with regulators and payers on solutions
   
   
2. Continuing to address prior authorization – challenges at the state and federal level
   
   
3. Removing barriers, partnering and highlighting best practices – in managing patients with diabetes, smoking cessation and access to care.
   

 

Please consider serving in an advisory role for any of these initiatives.
