Ohio’s Health Status to be discussed July 8
Ohio’s health status will be reported July 8, 2009, 1 to 4 p.m.,
at the St. Luke’s Hospital Auditorium 8, 5901 Monclova Road in
Maumee. Representatives from the
Health Policy Institute of Ohio will present findings
from its recent Ohio Family Health Survey (OFHS), which gathered
data from approximately 51,000 households in Ohio.
The OFHS is one of the largest and most comprehensive
state-level health and insurance surveys conducted in the
country. The project was managed by The
Ohio State University’s Ohio Colleges of Medicine
Government Resource Center, and
the Health Policy Institute of Ohio and the survey was conducted
by Macro International.
The Ohio Departments of Insurance, Job and Family Services,
Health, and Mental Health, the
Cleveland State University, and the
Ohio Board of Regents funded the
project.
The forum, “What’s New in Ohio Health Policy?” will address:
• the most recent findings from the 2008 Ohio Family Health
Survey and the implications for the Toledo area;
• updates on state level health policy developments from the
State Coverage Initiative, the State Quality Initiative, the
Coverage and Quality Council, and the state budget.
• regional and local activities and best practices in the areas
of health care access, patient
safety, health quality, health system improvement, or wellness
that can be shared with the state level health policy
initiatives.
