DRAFT Meeting Minutes, CHA Workforce Committee Thursday, December 4, 2014
Anette Smith-Dohring shared her progress on the apprenticeship program which is expected to launch next near. Anette informed the committee of the employer benefits of this “earn & learn” model and described how the OJT funding can cover up to 50% of the employee salary which helps employers offset the cost of lost productivity due to time in training. She further explained that the additional benefit of the program is increased employee loyalty. Laura Long updated the group on Kaiser’s partnership with Rosetta Stone. The committee learned that the Rosetta Stone product (which was developed to help native Spanish speakers master medical terminology in Spanish) was ready for demonstration. Laura polled the committee to determine interest in having the demo available at the February Workforce Committee meeting. Several committee members agreed that the demo would be beneficial at the next meeting, but also expressed interest in having the demo available as a recording or webinar so that their internal interpretation services staff could view it as well. Cathy Martin discussed the Medi-Cal 1115 Waiver and updated the committee on CHA’s internal involvement in the process. Cathy informed the group of the state’s interest in focusing on a medical malpractice subsidy which would provide an incentive to bring practices to underserved areas. Cathy shared that CHA would prefer that the focus be placed on graduate medical education subsidies and suggested that this proposal would likely be communicated to the state in the form of a letter from C. Duane Dauner directly to Diana Dooley. BJ Bartleson provided an update on the Community Paramedicine Pilot, which she introduced to the committee in her September 18 presentation. BJ announced the pilot had been approved. BJ informed the committee that she would participate as a member of the OSHPD Advisory Group to ensure that they had sufficient information to measure and evaluate the outcome of the pilot. While the pilot is 2-years long, BJ explained that they would likely assess outcomes after one year. BJ assured the group that she would provide ongoing updates on the pilot to the committee.
IV. Committee Evolution: Keeping Pace with Transformation
Laura Long led a discussion about the importance of strategic planning for workforce development. She referenced the Kaiser Maturity Model, which focuses on having the correct infrastructure, the appropriate skill-set and the right employee in place on day-one. Cathy Martin then led a discussion to determine methods of enhancing the work of the committee to elevate workforce development discussions, both internally and externally. Rebecca Rozen shared that recent regional meetings with CEOs yielded much interest in the areas of workforce planning and development. She also shared that several economic impact reports had been completed in various areas within Northern California. Rebecca also mentioned that there were upcoming regional meetings where there would be opportunities for workforce messaging and information could be shared with these CEOs.

DRAFT Meeting Minutes, CHA Workforce Committee Thursday, December 4, 2014
Cathy Martin proposed a new committee meeting structure for 2015 whereby the committee would meet three times annually in person, with a one-hour conference call in between. The proposed meeting schedule was presented to the group as follows:
• In-person meeting: Thursday, February 12 (10 am – 2:30 pm) • Via Conference Call: Thursday, April 9, 2015 (10 am – 11am) • In-person meeting: Thursday, May 21, 2015 (10 am – 2:30 pm) • Via conference call: Thursday, July 16, 2015 (10 am – 11am) • In-person meeting: Thursday, September 10, 2015 (10 am – 2:30 pm) • Via conference call: Thursday, December 10, 2015 (10 am – 12pm)
Several participants spoke in favor of this change (none opposed) and indicated agreement that the new structure would allow for increased momentum for the work of the committee in 2015.
V. 2015 Priorities Laura Long and Cathy Martin facilitated a discussion about the committee’s priorities for 2015. Several areas were identified:
1. Increase awareness of health workforce issues through external advocacy efforts: Build awareness at the policy and public level with a primary focus on allied health workforce, nursing workforce and graduate medical education.
2. Improve the effectiveness of internal messaging: Develop a statewide strategy for communicating to health care executives and hospital administrators about the critical role that health workforce planning and development plays as part of a successful business model.
3. Skill Alignment: Work to ensure that California health workforce strategies are aligned with the needs of hospitals. Employer input and engagement is critical to ensuring that skill gaps are not overlooked for specific allied health professionals, including 21st Century, or “soft”, skills.
4. Data Collection: Improve data collection efforts that validate findings on health workforce shortages.
Mary Contreras brought up the importance communicating the value of the work being done. Moses Aguirre agreed and added that this messaging would clarify what is being done, who is doing the work and how it is being done. Anette Smith-Dohring added that communications should include a differentiation between workforce planning (how to get there) and workforce development (implementation of strategies).
Action: It was also suggested that one-page leave behind be developed that includes clear, concise messaging and the use of info-graphics in order to deliver message without requiring the audience to read an extensive amount of text.
VI. James Irvine Foundation Grant Cathy Martin gave a brief overview of the scope and objectives of the James Irvine planning grant for the benefit of the new committee members. Cathy informed the group that the project was at a stage where recommendations were being developed; she stated that this was a critical stage for inclusion of employer input. Cathy stated that while there was current representation from several hospitals, additional representation from this sector was vital. Cathy invited any hospitals with availability and interest in participating to contact her.

P.O. Box 997413
Sacramento, CA 95889
Via email to [email protected]
Subject: California’s Proposed 1115 Waiver Renewal – Workforce Recommendations
Dear Director Kent:
On behalf of our more than 400 member hospitals and health systems, the California Hospital
Association (CHA) extends our appreciation for the opportunity to provide you with our
comments on the health workforce component of the state’s 1115 waiver renewal proposal. CHA
applauds the state for including workforce as one of the waiver’s six focus areas. As you know,
ensuring that California has an adequate supply of primary care health professionals is critical to
ensuring access to health care services for the state’s Medi-Cal members and is key to achieving
the goals of the Affordable Care Act.
The 1115 Waiver Workforce Workgroup examined many options during its work in recent
months. A great deal of information and research was shared with the group as it considered
recommendations. In this letter, CHA provides comments in support of specific
recommendations discussed by the workgroup. We believe these options will have great impact
by enhancing efficiencies in workforce and health care delivery, while also expanding access to
primary care.
Residency Training Slots
CHA supports the use of Medi-Cal 1115 waiver funds to sustain and expand residency training
slots in California. These funds should be used to increase the support for cutting-edge and
innovative programs that have a track record of producing graduates who are racially/ethnically
diverse and who are committed to practicing in underserved communities and populations. This
funding would be additional to any existing funding that teaching hospitals receive from the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
The rationale for this recommendation is drawn from data that indicate the number of
Californians over the age of 65 is projected to grow substantially between now and 2020. The
aging of California’s patient population will put a strain on the health care delivery system with
an increased need for services, especially services to the aging and chronically ill. While these
demographic shifts are taking place in the general population, the physician workforce is also
aging, with 33 percent of California’s physician population now over the age of 60.
14
Director Jennifer Kent
February 2, 2015
Page 2
The positive news, however, is that California ranks first in the nation in the percentage of
trained residents who remain in the state to practice (69.5 percent). Therefore, residency training
is a good investment with a high likelihood of increasing the overall number of physicians in
California.
Expansion of Effective Programs
CHA strongly supports the use of waiver funding to sustain innovative and effective programs in
undergraduate medical education. California currently has several unique and valuable programs
that provide training for future physicians to practice in underserved areas of the state.
Unfortunately, these programs suffer from limited enrollment due to funding limitations.
For example, the University of California’s (UC) Programs in Medical Education (PRIME) is an
innovative training program focused on meeting the needs of California’s populations in rural
communities and in underserved urban areas. PRIME builds on research showing that students
who enter medical school with an interest in caring for underserved communities as part of their
future career are more likely than other students to practice in such communities. CHA
recommends that waiver funding support capacity expansions for programs like UC-PRIME, and
others, that have shown to be effective in training physicians committed to providing care to the
underserved.
CHA recommends that the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) closely examine how
waiver funding and health workforce training has been successful in other states and consider
inclusion of similar models in the state’s application. For example, the state of Oregon has
requested up to $178 million for health workforce training programs that are operated by public
colleges and universities. These types of models should be evaluated and replicated in California.
CHA would like to emphasize that the waiver should provide funding to programs (current
programs or those in development) that prepare physicians and other health professionals to
practice in new delivery models, utilizing new technologies, practicing inter-professional team-
based care and effectively employing new care management skills that result in higher quality,
safety and cost-effective care delivery.
Incentive Funding
An effective way to encourage the expansion of our future physician workforce is through loan
repayment incentives. For many aspiring physicians, the cost of medical education significantly
influences their choice of practice. With a loan repayment incentive, these future physicians
would receive the loan repayment benefit if they chose to practice primary care and serve Medi-
Cal patients. This type of motivation can be very effective, particularly for those who are already
drawn to care for the populations served by the waiver.
Most members of the workgroup agreed, and some reports indicate, that loan repayment is more
effective than scholarship as an incentive. While scholarships are an important tool, studies
suggest that physicians who participate in loan repayment programs are more likely to complete
obligated services than physicians who receive scholarships.
15
Director Jennifer Kent
February 2, 2015
Page 3
Similar models have been successful in other states. In Illinois, for example, the state’s waiver
application included $10 million per year for loan repayment to health professionals who commit
to serving Medicaid enrollees in underserved areas. The application called for the establishment
of a "bonus payment pool" to provide funds to critical access hospitals (CAH) and other safety-
net hospitals to create loan repayment programs. CAHs are significantly challenged in terms of
securing an adequate workforce of physicians and other primary care professionals. Utilizing
funding from the waiver to create loan repayment incentives for physicians to practice in CAHs
would be tremendously impactful by ensuring access to health care services for California’s most
remote patient populations.
CHA recommends that the state direct $100 million of waiver funding toward implementation of
this comprehensive set of recommendations. CHA would like to thank you for the opportunity to
provide comments on the state’s proposed 1115 waiver. Please feel free to reach out to CHA if
you have any questions or would like clarification on any of the recommendations contained in
this letter.
Sincerely,
Anne McLeod

February 12, 2015 TO: CHA Workforce Committee FROM: Cathy Martin, Vice President, Workforce Policy SUBJECT: California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office Health Workforce Initiative – 21st Century Skills Grant Opportunity I. ACTION REQUESTED
None. II. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND
The California Health Workforce Initiative (HWI), a division of the California Community College Chancellor’s Office of Workforce and Economic Development, recently responded to a request for applications for funding from the Chancellor’s Office to support the integration of soft skills into career technical education. Linda Zorn, state HWI director, submitted an application to support the creation of such curriculum for the health professions. The outcome of the application is currently pending, but by the date of this meeting, there should be an answer regarding the proposal. If approved, hospitals are encouraged to be part of the curriculum development process, as well as to provide various other supports throughout the process, in order to ensure that the curriculum developed is responsive to health employer needs.

February 12, 2015 TO: CHA Workforce Committee FROM: Cathy Martin, Vice President, Workforce Policy SUBJECT: Community of Practice Working Lunch I. ACTION REQUESTED
Review and discuss questionaire results regarding “What does workforce planning and development mean to you and your organization?”
II. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND
During the December 4, 2014 call, members communicated that the field of workforce planning and development can be very inconsistent and mean different things to different organizations. The committee as a whole agreed that there would be value in developing a consistent message to state-wide health care executives and hospital administrators on the critical function that health workforce planning and development plays in a successful business strategy. The same messages can also be valuable in educating external audiences, such as policy makers. During this segment of the agenda, members will review the results from a questionnaire designed to identify gaps or varying definitions in an attempt to gain an improved understanding of the field of health workforce planning and development. Time permitting; the committee will begin to develop some consistent language and messages for internal audiences. If you did not fill out the questionnaire ahead of time, this link will take you to the questionnaire: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WorkforceDevSurvey

February 12, 2015 TO: CHA Workforce Committee FROM: Cathy Martin, Vice President, Workforce Policy SUBJECT: California Community College Chancellor’s Office Board of Governor’s
Taskforce on Workforce, Job Creation and a Strong Economy I. ACTION REQUESTED
Complete short questionnaire regarding preliminary recommendations to the Board of Governor’s Taskforce on Workforce
RSVP for Strong Workforce Town Hall Meetings (See meeting dates below) II. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND
On November 17, 2014, the Board of Governors (BOG) of the California Community College Chancellor’s Office commissioned the Taskforce on Workforce, Job Creation and a Strong Economy. The charge of the task force is to develop recommendations that will increase individual and regional economic competitiveness by providing California’s workforce with relevant skills and quality credentials that match employer needs and fuel a strong economy. The task force is comprised of individuals from across the community college system, the business community, labor, public agencies involved in workforce training, K-12 education policy, community based organizations, and other groups. CHA is a member BOG Taskforce. The task force is to consider strategies and recommend policies and practices that would:
Better prepare students for high-value jobs that currently exist in the state, Position California’s regions to attract high-value jobs in key industry sectors
from other states and around the globe, Create more jobs through workforce training that enables small business
development, and, Finance these initiatives by braiding existing state and federal resources.
The first meeting of the BOG Taskforce took place on January 22. The taskforce has received some preliminary recommendations through faculty and internal stakeholder discussions. Taskforce members were asked to take these back to our constituencies for consideration. Please take a moment to respond to the brief questionnaire asking you to rate these preliminary recommendations based on degree of potential impact and difficulty of implementation. The results will be shared in aggregate with the BOG Taskforce in April. Please provide feedback on the preliminary recommendations related to improving career technical education at the community colleges system using this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DNBRTK5

BOG Taskforce Update CHA Workforce Committee Meeting, Thursday, February 12, 2015
Phase two of this work will require other external feedback from stakeholders, including employers. The Chancellor’s Office will gather this feedback through a series of town hall meetings. It is critical that industry be engaged in the process. Please see below for the town hall meeting dates and times. If possible, you are encouraged to attend one of the town hall meetings.
Phase Two: Strong Workforce Town Hall Meetings
During February-March 2015, five town halls across the state will convene leaders from business, economic development, K-12 education policy, labor, elected officials, and other community organizations to vet and build on ideas and practices that bring stronger alignment between community colleges and key industry sectors. The town halls will include interactive discussions focused on how the community college system can act as a catalyst for growth in California’s regional economies.

September 18, 2014 TO: CHA Workforce Committee FROM: Cathy Martin, Vice President, Workforce Policy SUBJECT: Legislative Update – Workforce and Education Bills Budget Update – Workforce called out in Governor’s Budget I. ACTION REQUESTED
None. Discussion Item.
II. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND The 2015-2016 Legislative Session is underway in Sacramento. Several workforce and education bills have been introduced. Lawmakers had until January 30th to get draft language to legislative counsel and have until February 27th to officially introduce their bills. Many bills, therefore, are still in “spot” form, lacking many crucial details. This year, there is heightened attention on the issue of career technical education (CTE). One reason for this is because the statute that created the Regional Occupational Centers and Programs (ROCP), which house many of the CTE programs sunsets. As you know, many health career pathway programs, such as EMT, medical assistant, CAN and phlebotomy are administered through the ROCP. There is a bill to extend the sunset date to 2018. However, many stakeholders believe that even if this bill is passed, it will not be effective due to the implementation of the Local Control Funding Formula, where the districts have local control over the funding of such programs, and are therefore not bound by categorical funding requirements that specific funding purposes, such as for the ROCPs. CHA will continue to watch this and all other CTE bills closely, as many of them are closely linked to health professions training. In addition, there are several proposals to address funding shortfalls for undergraduate medical education, such as the in the case of the Program in Medical Education (PRIME) within the University of California system. CHA supports the PRIME programs. However, given the dollar amount specified in these bills, they are likely to get caught up in appropriations as they make their way to through the process. Several similar attempts last session died in the appropriations committee. CHA has had early conversations with both Senator Roth, as well as the California Medical Association (CMA), regarding graduate medical education (GME). Senator Roth is interested in ways to secure state funding for primary care residencies, as is CMA. CMA’s strategy will likely be a budget play, whereas Senator Roth has introduced a spot bill. CHA will continue conversations with both Senator Roth and CMA and keep the committee apprised. A full list of workforce and education bills being tracked can be found on the pages following the budget update.

Legislative Update – Page 2 CHA Workforce Committee, February 12, 2015
In the Governor’s Budget, he dedicated an unprecedented amount of attention to workforce and education. Below is a summary of the Governor’s 2015-16 Budget Proposal specific to workforce development and educational investments.
• Adult education: $500 million to the California Community Colleges (CCC) Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) for restoration of dedicated funding for adult education to be distributed in each region by an allocation board established by that region’s adult education consortium (composed of at least one CCC and one K-12 district, often with other partners). The CCCCO and California Department of Education (CDE) will jointly approve allocation of funds. In 2015-16, to ease the transition, funds will be provided directly to adult school districts in the amount of the K-12 districts’ maintenance of effort for adult education.
• K-12 CTE: $250 million to CDE in each of the next three years to support a transitional CTE Incentive Grant Program in place of the Career Pathways Trust (CPT). Unlike the CPT, those receiving funding will be required to provide a one-to-one match.
• CCCs: $200 million to improve student success programs. This includes $100
million for orientation, assessment, counseling and $100 million to close achievement gaps as identified in student equity plans. $48 million for the Career Technical Education Pathways Program at the CCCCO.
• Apprenticeship: $29.1 million new monies for apprenticeship programs, $14.1
million for existing programs and $15 million to create innovative demonstration projects that focus on new and emerging industries.
