What is the relationship between the regional representative that is a member of the Governors Health Care Reform Panel and the chair of a regional consortium?
These are two separate groups with two distinct responsibilities. The regional representative on the Governors Health Care Reform Panel was selected by the Governor as a representative from a specific region to discuss statewide issues addressed by the Panel, not the affiliation/entity in which they belong. The chair of each regional consortium will be responsible for convening and overseeing all consortium meetings and to ensure stakeholders from all areas of the health care system and interested civic and governmental leaders have an opportunity to provide their input and recommendations; for providing as necessary feedback to the members and the public on issues addressed in the meetings; and for overseeing the development of and reporting to the Governors Panel on the regions health care challenges and concerns, recommendations for change, funding priorities, etc.
