What is the Community Voice Subgroup?
The Community Voice Subgroup will help guide the CIE Advisory Committee on state-level policy development and effective implementation of CIE. The Community Voice Subgroup will convene consumers, caregivers and guardians of services from a CIE, individuals representing an organization implementing CIE strategies, and other health information and CIE players to center community member experiences in systems-level decision-making and create trustworthy mechanisms by which consumers’ feedback can be heard. It will serve as a space for community members to share their ideas and experiences to help shape community information exchange (CIE) initiatives and help improve how health care and social services can work together to advance care coordination and improve health outcomes.
What will the Community Voice Subgroup do?
The Community Voice Subgroup will develop a process for community feedback, continue to evolve the Bill of Rights, share experiences across local and regional councils and provide guidance to CIE initiatives, as needed. The subgroup will meet virtually 6 times per year for 90 minutes, starting in late calendar year 2025.
Why is the Community Voice Subgroup important?
A key element of CIE and the Advisory Committee work is to center consumer and participant experiences, including formal ways for community members to participate in decision-making. Community members are the experts in their own lives! Their expertise and voice are key in creating a system that is more trusted, useful and equitable. The Community Voice Subgroup will be in a unique position to guide the CIE Advisory Committee on the importance of integrating community voice into state-level policy development and effective implementation of CIE.
