Hi all,
I am in the process of revamping our steering committee. In recent months it has become stagnant and I don't really feel like it has been helping move our practice forward in the way I would like. I really want it to be a more collaborative effort that works towards our system goals for Centering practice. In addition, turnover and shifting responsibilities have caused the committee to become smaller and in need of a new physician chair.
I have scheduled and sent out invites for the first meeting of our new group and have good response. Participants in the new committee include representatives from information technology, billing, marketing, quality improvement, wellness, OB providers, leadership, family practice, a community health worker, a social worker and co-facilitator from a practice site, and a practice site manager.
It really is a good group, but I am worried about a couple things: 1) there are 20 people invited and I'm worried that is too large for the committee, 2) having a productive and engaging first meeting.
Any thoughts on other disciplines that should be included or who could be eliminated. Any suggestions to make sure the first meeting is productive and goes well.
So far I have planned introductions, discussion of group goals, outlining a formal meeting schedule, and developing a committee charter.
Our health system includes 8 FQHC's, a non-FQHC primary care clinic, several community mental health centers, and an acute-care hospital. Six of our locations are Centering practice sites with hopes to expand to at least three more.
This is a centrally focused steering committee and really I wanted to include someone from each location, but feel like that would make it way too large. Would you recommend having a smaller steering committee at each Centering care site? What do others with multiple locations do?
