Town Hall Location on January 14th 1:00-4:00

Objectives:
The aim of this session is for teams of people to come together and develop ways to increase coverage and access to healthcare in just 100 days. And rather than trying to solve this issue across the entire city at once, we have chosen just two schools to start with to try and figure out what it takes to break down the barriers to coverage. We will then use what we learn and accomplish in the first 100 days to expand it to the rest of the community.

The Process:
WorkOut is a process that was developed by General Electric in concert with a management consulting firm called Robert H. Schaffer & Associates, and has been widely utilized by organizations and governments all over the world to bust bureaucracy and speed the pace of change. Guided by Schaffer consultants, you and approximately 50 others will work in small teams to develop action plans and identify needed changes in order to solve this challenge. The five teams will be; 1) identification of the uninsured & outreach, 2) education & marketing, 3) design 100-day application process, 4) follow-up & retention and 5) tracking the status of the uninsured.

Town Hall Meeting:
At the end of the two days, your teams will present your plans and recommendations to the Co-Sponsors (Mary Anne Schmitt-Carey, Bob Long, Dan Lowengard and Ann Rooney) for immediate decision and action. Then, in the weeks following the WorkOut, each team will implement its plans and take whatever additional steps are needed to achieve its goals.

Please feel free to attend the Workout Town Hall meeting on January 14th 1:00-4:00.

I look forward to the great work that will be done in making sure all students at Dr. King and Frazer have health care coverage.

The Workout will be held in the Whitman School of Management, directly across from the Adams Street parking garage. Please use the University Avenue entrance into the main lobby area and meet in the Lender Auditorium, room 007.

Below is a link to driving directions to the University Avenue parking garage (corner of University Ave and Harrison St.) where we will have a visitor’s pass for you at the gate: http://parking.syr.edu/Parking/display.cfm?content_ID=%23%288I%2C%0A
