Stakeholders in Health Informatics

Payers:

• are an essential part of any health care system since they are the facilitators of the health activities;
• PCACH developed a communication plan and relevant materials to satisfy their needs.

The Possible Risks for Payers:

• no access to technologies that allow them to receive materials and the updated data;
• low level of transparency of the established system;

• PCACH tries to eliminate risks by organizing meetings or presentations and delivering the material to homes, as well as making regular calls, and updating the information on the website (PCACH 50).

Board of Trustees:

•  assures that the work of PCACH is legal, adequately organized and may be checked and examined by the community;
• Committees of the Board:
• Executive Committee is responsible for the overall organization of the activity of PCACH;
• Tribal Implications Committee examines the possible outcomes of operations related to American Indian/Alaskan Native populations and Tribal engagement strategies;
• Finance Committee is responsible for the financial wellbeing of the organization;
• Waiver and Investments Committee incorporates guidance for funds and investment policies;
• Nominating Committee decides on who may enter the organization and whether these people have the necessary skills and experience (PCACH 42).

Provider Integration Panel is responsible for healthcare in Pierce County and boosts understanding of its principal aspects and barriers.

Regional Health Improvement Plan Council analyses the work completed and services provided with regards to the regional aspect.

Community Voice Council shares some knowledge to create general vision of the healthcare and makes sure the equity in the system is maintained.

Data and Learning Team analyses the available data in order to find the gaps and needs of the organization members, as well as provides recommendations regarding the effective policies and strategies (PCACH 42).

Workgroups check actions of the PCACH and provide the recommendations based on the conducted analysis.

Possible Risks in the System of Stakeholders:

• disorganized work of the stakeholders and lack of appropriate supportive framework and information to structure themselves around the available data;
• difficulties when sharing data obtained at different stages and levels (PCACH 150);
• shortage of the workforce in the analyzed region and high requirements to the personnel (PCACH 150);
• lack of sustainable data and materials to analyze the system and form the recommendations.

The local government (county executive, county council, and senator) approves and controls stewardship and transparency of the service provision, as well as ensures that the core guidelines of the federal and state bodies are implemented in the county (PCACH 54).

Possible Risks in the Operations of the Government:

• lack of the relevant data (the professional statistics of the providers and their employees, the assessment and inspection data from different institutions) in order to conduct proper evaluation of the quality of services provided (Ravi et al. 199)
• insufficient level of cooperation with other stakeholders.
