Agenda October 24, 2006
On October 24, 2006 at 2PM EDT, please join the Indian Health Service (IHS)
for our first quarterly teleconference Open Door Forum focusing on the Director’s
Health Initiatives. This is part of a national effort to foster communication,
discussion, and sharing of health care ideas among all IHS heath care providers,
Tribal health care programs, Urban health care programs (I/T/U), Area and Headquarters
(HQ) staff. All IHS, Tribal, and Urban Health staff are invited to participate
in this first Open Door Forum. The first discussion topic will provide general
background and an update on the Director’s three health initiatives in
Chronic Disease Management, Behavioral Health, and Health Promotion/Disease Prevention.
The quarterly Open Door Forum provides an opportunity for direct communication
on topics of critical importance for all Indian Health System staff. We will
use the Forum calls to share the latest information about the Director’s
Initiatives, to share information about the excellent work being done in all
of the IHS Areas, and to answer your questions. Together we will explore how
the three Director’s Initiatives must work together to improve the health
of American Indian and Alaska Native people.
What is the Format for these Forums?
IHS Director, Dr. Charles Grim, will initiate the October Open Door Forum
with a brief overview of the Director’s Initiatives. After Dr. Grim’s
introduction, IHS staff leads for the three initiatives will provide 15 minute
summaries of Initiative activities to date. Following the summaries, questions
from callers throughout the Indian Health system will commence with a dialogue.
Following the teleconference call, a summary will be posted on the IHS three
initiatives website as an archived summary and available for those who miss this
event.
