<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Oregon Self-Management Network partners,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Changes are coming to the Oregon books-for-data system. If you are a Living Well/CDSMP or Tomando Control program coordinator or master trainer, the following Q&A will be particularly important. Please read carefully.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Q. Why are changes happening to “books for data”?<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A. For many years, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) has supported local Living Well/CDSMP and Tomando Control programs by providing books in return for complete packages of program data. However, the grant that supported OHA’s book purchases
ended in August.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Q. What is going to change?<b><o:p></o:p></b></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A<b>. </b>The “books for data” system will end in early 2016. OHA staff will continue to distribute books in exchange for data packets for 2015 data submitted in accordance with the
<a href="http://public.health.oregon.gov/DiseasesConditions/ChronicDisease/LivingWell/Pages/reportprograminfo.aspx">
“books for data” policy</a>. <b>To receive books, 2015 program data packets must be received by January 31, 2016</b>.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All “books for data” will be distributed by February 28, 2016. OHA will distribute any remaining books to Oregon’s Living Well/CDSMP and Tomando Control program delivery organizations. At that time, Oregon’s “books for data” system will
come to an end.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">In the meantime, the end of the grant that funded our books also ended our Administrative Specialist position. Given reduced state staffing, please allow four
weeks for delivery of your books and bear with us…we’re doing the very best we can.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Q. How will OHA decide who gets leftover books?<b><o:p></o:p></b></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A. OHA staff are open to suggestions about how to distribute any leftover books in a way that minimizes the impact of the end of “books for data”.
<b>Please send suggestions to </b><a href="mailto:living.well@state.or.us"><b>living.well@state.or.us</b></a><b> by November 15.</b> OHA staff will work with the Oregon Self-Management Network Steering Committee to make a final decision about distribution of
any remaining books. We will communicate the outcome of this decision by December 1.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Q. How can I prepare for the change?<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A. Fortunately, we have time to plan ahead to minimize the impact of this change.
<span style="color:black">On the October 15 Network call, master trainer Libby Kennard led a brainstorming session on the question: What can Living Well and Tomando Control program coordinators do to prepare and ease the transition to the OHA program running
out of books? Here are the things your fellow Network members suggested:</span><o:p></o:p></p>

are loaners – marked “property of” the licensed organization and returned at the end. Most people are very considerate about returning the books back because participants understand that there is a limited budget. It is a benefit to receive a new book when
they complete the course and show success. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

access to the online Compass data system. Compass users will be able to enter and retrieve program and participant data electronically using the Compass web tool and/or data entry app. The OHA team is also working with the Compass vendor to implement electronic
referrals, insurance eligibility checking, and billing through the new system. OHA staff will regularly share information about Compass roll-out and training on this listserv.
