MESSAGE FROM THE AACHC CEO AND BOARD PRESIDENT As 2018 comes to a close, we reflect on a year of hard work and successes supporting Arizona’s health centers through high quality training, technical assistance, and advocacy. This has been a year of transitions, which are still under way. We have been active participants in the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System’s (AHCCCS) transition to the Complete Care model and continue to work towards the vision of integrated care for Medicaid beneficiaries. We have worked collaboratively with AHCCCS to develop an Alternative Payment Methodology that reimburses health centers for value, taking into account health center performance on designated quality indicators. We have updated our strategic plan, maintaining focus on key priorities in support of Arizona health centers in the next two to three years, with the recognition that the areas of Value Based Reimbursement; Positioning Health Centers as Providers of Choice; Innovative Practice Models; Health Informatics; and Positioning Health Centers as Employers of choice are crucial to creating and sustaining the health center of the future. And as we adapt to meet the diverse and evolving demands placed upon us as part of the larger healthcare system, health centers continue to be leaders in providing an integrated, patient-centered care experience that addresses complex health needs and social determinants of health. The number of Arizonans served by health centers increased from 500,940 in 2015 by over 17% to 587,459 in 2017 and continued to grow in 2018. Additionally, 100% of Arizona’s health centers now utilize Electronic Health Records, and 80% are certified as Patient-Centered Medical Homes. In 2018, we provided a
John McDonald Chief Executive Officer, Arizona Alliance for Community Health Centers
wide variety of individualized technical assistance as well as trainings, including the Annual Conference, Invaluable Medical and Dental Assistant Day, and others, to provide tools and resources to health centers. AACHC also expanded its collaborations on conferences, working with the Northwest Regional Primary Care Association, AHARO Hawaii, Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center, and the Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations in 2018 to bring information and resources to a wider audience. AACHC’s multiple Peer Networking Committees continued to meet throughout 2018 and served as a venue for health center leaders and staff to benchmark, share data and best practices, and identify opportunities for collaboration. These committees are an important benefit to AACHC members, and we are so pleased to see such active engagement, including in our newest committee dedicated to addressing opioid use and substance use disorder. As we enter 2019 and respond to the changing healthcare environment, AACHC will continue to support Arizona health centers in leading the provision of exceptional population-based healthcare for all those we serve. Thank you to the amazing AACHC staff and committed Board of Directors that make this work possible. We recognize the valuable contributions of our team and our members to our continued success. Arizona’s health centers represent the largest primary care network in the state, and along with their counterparts nationally, comprise the largest primary care network in the country. There is tremendous power in this network and in the value that health centers provide. We look forward to continued collaboration and success in 2019.

WHO WE ARE
AACHC STAFF
ARIZONA’S PRIMARY CARE ALLIANCE The Arizona Alliance for Community Health Centers (AACHC) has served as Arizona’s Primary Care Association (PCA) since 1985 and strives to promote and facilitate the development and delivery of affordable and accessible communityoriented, high quality, culturally effective primary care healthcare for everyone in the state of Arizona through advocacy, education, and technical assistance.
AACHC comprises the state’s largest network of primary care providers and is committed to working with a variety of partners to expand the availability of tools that health centers and organizations serving those in need can utilize to address the needs of their patient populations and improve the health outcomes while continuing to demonstrate cost savings.
AACHC is committed to serving as a resource for organizations providing primary health care to the underserved, including Health Center Program Grantees, Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) Look-Alikes, Rural Health Clinics, Tribal organizations, behavioral health facilities, and others with a vested interest in the primary care safety net.
AACHC also has strong local, state, regional, and federal partners with which it leverages resources to accomplish goals. AACHC provides a variety of educational opportunities for members, including peer networking committees, which provide a forum for sharing of best practices among member colleagues for optimal healthcare delivery.
“Wouldn’t it be nice if, in pursuing [value-based transformation], we had a set of partners that had a track record of delivering quality care at a significantly lower cost? Wouldn’t it be nice if we had partners who had taken the lead in using electronic health records—achieving almost universal adoption? Wouldn’t it be great to learn from providers who excel at coordinating and integrating different levels of care? The good news is that, as you can probably tell, we do have such a set of partners. It’s all of you—America’s community health centers.” -Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar, March 16, 2018

Quality Improvement is a strong focus of AACHC through the Quality Improvement Peer Networking Committee (QIC). This committee meets regularly to promote best practices for quality improvement and evaluate tools and messages from partners and vendors to determine usefulness and applicability in health centers. Since 2016, the QIC has been looking strategically at how to improve the screening rates of colorectal, breast and cervical cancer and promote the increase of HPV vaccines for females and males. In 2018, diabetes management was added as one of the clinical focuses of the committee. AACHC works closely with Collaborative Ventures Network (CVN) and Healthy Communities Collaborative Network (HCCN) to track the screening rates of the participating health centers through the use of Azara.
