Part I: Planning Council Structure & Values
Overview of Planning Council Mission, Vision, Principles Planning Council (PC) Structure PC Member Do’s and Don’ts PC Member as Advocate vs Planner PC Shared Values
2
To maintain the optimum health of all those living with HIV/AIDS in Riverside and San
Bernardino Counties through the development and implementation of a
comprehensive consumer-centered continuum of care.
3
There is a stable funding base to support the full continuum of HIV—related medical care and support services within the Riverside—San Bernardino California TGA.
There are no significant gaps in service. Services are available regardless of the ability
to pay and are consumer-centered, user- friendly, culturally competent well-publicized and geographically accessible.
4
There is no stigma associated with HIV/AIDS. These accomplishments will be achieved
through strong public/private partnerships, and will enhance the quality of life and sense of well-being among people living with HIV/AIDS in the TGA.
5
The IEHPC strives to continually keep consumers in the forefront of the planning process. ◦ Therefore, the Guiding Principles developed by the
Planning Council stress a consumer-centered “continuum of care”.
6
To improve health outcomes: There is concentrated effort to identify, bring into,
and maintain in care all persons living with HIV/AIDS who may or may not know their status.
Consumers are to be treated with dignity,
compassion and respect. There must be streamlined, equitable access
to a comprehensive system of quality services.
7
There must be reliable and easily accessible information about treatment, service options and resources.
The system will be driven by consumers and
advocates for consumer needs. Care systems will be revised to meet emerging
needs. Consumers must receive help with needs that
extend beyond those that are specifically HIV—related.
8
Services will be structured to encourage consumers to share in the responsibility for their health care.
There must be outreach to those least able to
access care. Consumers must be afforded the opportunity
to contribute to the planning and delivery of services.
9
Ryan White funds will be the funds of last resort.
The impact of Ryan White funds must be
evaluated and improvements to quality of service made as needed.

Don’t become involved in procurement Don’t violate – or ignore violation of – PC policy Don’t lobby Don’t focus on individual provider issues –
think about service categories Don’t focus on individual PLWHA needs (not
even your own) – focus on the needs of all Don’t make or be swayed by impassioned pleas
– focus on the data Don’t take disagreements personally
21
Advocates: call attention to the needs of the PLWHA communities they serve or represent, or to their own needs as PLWHA
Planners: call attention to the needs of PLWHA
communities other than their own or the ones they serve or represent and try to ensure decisions equitably serve all PLWHA in the TGA

Begin as Advocates: ◦ Passion ◦ Represent our communities ◦ Be heard

populations other than our own ◦ Win-Win versus Win-Lose ◦ Listen to others/ask questions ◦ Come prepared to make important decisions ◦ Use data to make decisions
