Columbia Pacific
Coordinated Care Organization
Transforming health care for
Oregon Health Plan
(Medicaid) members
Creating Health Together
• Launched September 1, 2012
• To manage care of 15,000 Oregon Health
Plan members
• In Columbia, Clatsop and Tillamook counties
and Reedsport in Douglas county
• Bringing together social service agencies,
educators, counties, public health, health
plans, hospitals, mental and physical health
providers and members
• To address health and health care needs
unique to our communities
WHY HEALTH
TRANSFORMATION?
It’s for our neighbors…and us
• Most OHP members
are children
• Pregnant women
• Age 65 or older
• One-quarter don’t
speak English as a
first language
• All OHP members are
low income
Calculated from CareOregon membership, June
2013
Healthier communities benefit us all.
The current system
• For sick care, not
preventive care
• Fee-for-service rewards
doctor and hospital visits
and procedures, not
keeping people healthy
• Fragmented, disconnected
care, not a coordinated
system of care
We pay more and get less

Our health care spending is
astronomical
$2.4 trillion in U.S. health care
spending (2008) could make a pile of
$100 bills to the moon.
And still leave enough $100 bills to
pile up four more stacks to the moon.
Past ways we reduced costs
CUT, CUT, CUT
 Reduce provider payments for services
 Reduce number of people covered
 Reduce type of services covered
What do cuts actually do?
Which way for Oregon?
• We don’t accept less care, and lower
quality of care.
AND
• We don’t accept turning away sick people
from care.
AND
• We don’t accept rising health care costs.
