useful information about implementation. we respond by training and most particle through the health program those are the first folks we offer training to. and one training we did a mass training. and asking if that's enough? probably not. the challenge is we're laying the tracks as we drive on them. i'm calling courtney so i think we're going to do a catch up. particularly as we unrainfall the difference not so much as the expanded medi-cal but it reminds me of a time many years ago we used to fund a program
3:01 am
called aids counselors. we maybey inviting it in the future. so on to recommendation number 6. again as courtney mentioned at state level and we participate in the activities that are happening with the state. the state has dedicated a person ryan white fund called part b funds they have the person tell caffeine into our meeting and hopeful that will he help us get mostly updates which prier intents funding. >> can i request ask you a quick
3:02 am
question. is there a requirement that all providers receive that assistants - assistance >> we offer a number of different kinds of training everything from cult competence and we're adding this. we don't necessarily require it but people are separate for the information. people are knocking on our doors what does this mean and in terms of recommendation number 7 there are a couple of different players in the manage care system itself first t is the san
3:03 am
francisco dph they're a community member and i had some conversations with their medical director and their choosing to sign up with the other markets and we're going to start to a lot into that to see what's not covered. both san francisco and a.m. them whether you cross are in meetings. and so we do meet on a mostly basis to improve the access and financial services they're the folks who do the eligibility and last week they got folks for the chinese health plan exchange.
3:04 am
and to get the continuous improvement health outcomes. so we produce for all ryan white primary care on a semiannual basis to see how the catsors are coming on the national thresholds. that said this is not a new game for folks who have been doing this for 20 years were many of which have to do with more the technical data rather than the quality of care and courtney mentioned the an hiv waiver we
3:05 am
used the money to develop the registery system so all the data is dumped into one system a new and improved threshold. that's one more recommendation coming here. i'm sorry. i'm talking fast a lot of information. i think about this is how does this work well in terms of addressing the gaps and improve health outcomes it's about partnerships. we need to kind of come together to make this happen. the task force is a great example of dph and consumers and the planning councils and i think what we plan to do now is actually, i was talking with one of the coaches the next council meeting we're going to get ahead of the curve to think about what's not fund but also what's
3:06 am
under funded that you are we're going to look at the creative ways to make sure that the hiv doesn't get stripped down in terms of fund. i'll stop here if you very specific questions >> thank you very much that was a thorough presentation. colleagues, any questions? i just have a sort of a general question what do you think is the most different challenge in this >> the fact we're laying the tracks as the train is happening at break fast speed. i'm the i i'm going to opinion national it's an oversight not to include the consumers as well as the advocates their racing so
3:07 am
fast. it would be nice to have a 10 to 12 months process to being catch up to reflect on what happened and catch up and we're going to be this way until the dust settles >> why do we open it up to public comment. if there's any member of the public who wants to speak. seeing none, public comment is closed. and i don't know if there's anything to add from the task force or from the department of health? yes, please come forward >> i was reflecting on recommendation number 7. i again want to highlight it's critical that the department
3:08 am
reach out to non-department providers i appreciate the work that's going on so to make sure that the dph if they which i see i want to make sure people know they have a choice and they can choose non-dph clinics. ryan white and also the provider the dot choose can get lost and i want to make sure that that is stated here as well >> that's a great point and in question any comments on that? i knew i wasn't going to get out of here with this much love. everyone we talk about this is a 20 thousand new lives to stay
3:09 am
financially viable but i will say that is control for the health care exchanges. there's stringent rules on information you have to provide and boundary. i also think that clients for the most part are going to go where they go for the best service and they talk to each. even if we gnashly are not able to keep up with kaiser they're to go where they can. i appreciate the safeguards in place. and i imagine if this concern is, you know, something where we
3:10 am
actually see is it being played out we've hear about that but that's an important consideration. i think that i certainly appreciate all the work that's been done by the task force and to the department. at the as well. a lot of thought has gone into that i think that san francisco is ahead of the curve and the rest of the country. it's something i think we're going to have to continue to keep an eye on and maybe adjust as the implementation progresses. and i certainly will be, you know, working and following this very closely and hope we'll stay in touch. so workplace, colleagues why
