Smaller health data board, fewer seats

The Maine Health Data Organization board now has 12 voting members, down from 20, plus one nonvoting member. The Governor appoints 11 members, down from 18, and those picks are not reviewed or confirmed. Consumer seats drop from four to two, and consumers must be independent of payors and providers and come from a statewide consumer list. Employer seats drop from three to two, with one from a statewide health purchasing coalition list and one from a statewide chamber of commerce list. Provider seats drop from nine to four and still include named roles chosen from statewide groups, such as a hospital or health system representative and two physician seats (one not tied to a hospital or health system). The Director of the Office of MaineCare Services, or a designee, serves on the board.
