Members participating in health plan governance can provide valuable feedback to inform plan policies and procedures that address the needs of members and their families and caregivers.1 Following two webinars on engaging members in plan governance and ways to recruit and support participating members, the third, and final, webinar of this series on member engagement in plan governance focuses on how plans can gather robust feedback and implement changes to address feedback from members effectively.
This webinar features strategies for successfully soliciting feedback from members and communicating feedback to staff across all operational levels within the plan, including senior plan leadership. Plan representatives share strategies for communicating changes in processes, policies, and procedures with members engaged in plan governance and provide specific examples of changes that occurred as a result of feedback from members. Finally, individual members share their first-hand experiences with engagement in plan governance and offer their insights on how their role in plan governance has led to improvements in care for individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid, as well as other people with complex health and social needs.
By the end of this webinar, participants should be able to:
- Recognize approaches health plans use to effectively gather member feedback on plan operations;
- Identify strategies for communicating member feedback to staff across all operational levels within the plan, including senior leadership;
- Identify strategies for implementing feedback loops that include bi-directional communication between members and plan administrators; and
- Identify topics best suited for members’ input – through advisory committees and other avenues— that can have significant impact on member experience.
