Angela DeLaere, FACHE, MBA
MCACHE President
It has been a wonderful summer season while catching up with many chapter members, either by way of networking at a Detroit Tiger’s ball game or checking out a new atmosphere during a chapter meet and greet at the Detroit Shipping Company!
As we approach the end of the summer days, I am excited to get out on the golf course with a group of chapter members. It always great to know networking comes in many different forms, all with great company and a common goal of Healthcare Leader’s continuous professional development and growth.
While looking forward to the fall and winter, I am grateful to our chapter’s Programming Committee’s commitment to partner with and host many upcoming events. The Belle Isle Conservancy Park Cleanup is right around the corner with an Emerging Leaders – DEIJ Workshop to round out the end of August. In September, as the fall semester starts, it will be nice to collaborate with the Student Engagement Table Talks, to just name a few.
Please take a moment to check out the MCACHE event schedule, as I am sure there is an event that will align with your interest.
I would like to encourage those that are thinking of advancing further in your career to invest in yourself and attend the next FACHE Advancement Information Session on September 12th. Obtaining Fellowship in American College of Healthcare Executives allows more doors to open, holding the power of your future in healthcare.

Summer is a season full of travel, adventure, neighbors reconnecting from the long winter, and hanging out at the beach.

This summer I had the chance to spend time with healthcare leaders from across the state at the Michigan Health and Hospital Association (MHA) Annual Meeting held June 28 – June 30, 2023. One of my highlights from the meeting was the ACHE Annual State Membership Breakfast where we announced the winners of the 2023 Regents Awards for Outstanding Student, Outstanding Faculty, Early Careerist and Senior Careerist. Join me in congratulating the 2023 Award Recipients.

Your Partner in Effectively Navigating and Adapting to Changing Healthcare Regulations and Policies | |
By: Joanne Jarvi, Senior Director of Outreach & Market Communications, Michigan Health Information Network Shared Services (MiHIN)
Michigan Health Information Network (MiHIN), a collaboratively governed nonprofit, is Michigan’s designated entity for statewide health information exchange. As the digital pilar undergirding the structures that support Michigan’s learning health systems, it is incumbent upon MiHIN to monitor the ecosystem and build to support regulatory and legal frameworks and behavioral expectations of our varied healthcare stakeholders. The following offers a broad overview of a couple of themes taken from recent policies that impact our ecosystem.
Behavioral Health Information Exchange
42 CFR Part 2 is a federal regulation that preceded HIPAA and protects the confidentiality of substance use disorder records that come from defined part 2 facilities. This regulation is in place to prevent the stigmatization and discrimination that can come from other entities or individuals finding out that someone receives treatment at a part 2 facility.
MiHIN’s Chief Policy and Privacy Officer often receives questions regarding differences between behavioral health information (more generally) and part 2 information. The way she describes it is that behavioral health is the large, overarching umbrella that covers many types of information, including mental health information, substance use disorder information, information coming out general medical facilities as well as information coming from defined substance use disorder facilities. Those defined substance use disorder facilities would impart part 2 information and are just one part of the giant behavioral health bucket.
According to guidance provided by The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSH), if BH information is shared from a more general medical facility, that information is not considered to be part 2 information and can be shared in the same way that other information is shared under HIPAA. It is only when information flows from those defined part 2 facilities must we ensure that consent is in place by the individual. The newly proposed rule for Part 2 did not take away any of the requirements that consent is needed prior to sharing part 2 information, but it did clarify that one single consent can be ongoing.
MiHIN’s Electronic Consent Management Service use case was created to capture consent at the part 2 facility, which is still a requirement that must be in place. We encourage all stakeholders to participate in our collaborative forums regarding our e-consent efforts to delve into how our solutions adapt with changes in the regulation, including but not limited to offering privacy tagging or segmentation solutions.
Cross-sector data sharing
Cross-sector data sharing is a key emerging federal priority. Cross sector data sharing is the sharing healthcare information in a bi-directional manner with community organizations or actors who are not typically classified in the health care space, but ones that still do perform important services for preventative purposes or need important healthcare information.
The hospital inpatient prospective payment system rule, or IPS, and the long-term care hospital and perspective payment system rule or LTCHPPS are published by CMS and set base payment rates for certain services or certain items. Typically, these perspective payment system rules propose changes to hospital reporting requirements, and those dictate how entities will receive Medicare funding for that year in subsequent years, depending how readily and well they meet certain metrics.
The 2023 rules emphasized health, equity, social determinants of health and health related social needs, pushing for hospital commitment to help equity measures and encouraging improved data, collection, data, analysis, quality, improvement, and leadership engagement from hospitals as well.
Through our cross-sector data exchange program, MiHIN has been proactive and collaborating in multiple forms to answer the question of how best to share this information across our network, so that hospitals are able to meet this measure more easily, and other health care stakeholders are also able to exchange this information.
These conversations have been challenging, requiring legal interpretation by many organizations who differ in their interpretation of the language and the guidance that HHS has put out thus far. MiHIN, through our pilot work and our vendor community of practice, is trying to reach a common area of understanding that's functional for information exchange, so that sharing may occur sooner rather than later, allowing our stakeholders to move forward with these initiatives without being so dependent on the release of final rules.
For more information on these and other policies that impact our ecosystem, please visit https://mihin.org/the-download/ or contact us directly at help@mihin.org.

No! HEN Schools Don't Raise Chickens!! | |
|
By: Kathy Mielke, MPA, RDH, Chair, Student Engagement
Healthcare professionals have a keen eye for the many acronyms used daily in the industry. You may have heard the acronym “HEN” during MCACHE conversations, but are you familiar with its meaning?
While the definition of HEN is a “female bird” as we know it, the ACHE definition is quite different. HEN stands for Higher Education Network which is a collaborative effort between ACHE and university/college programs at the undergraduate and graduate level.
To be a participant in the ACHE Higher Education Network, a university/college must be at least regionally accredited and offer an identifiable degree, major, or concentration in healthcare management.
A university/college must complete an application and agreement to submit for registration with the ACHE Higher Education Network. The application is reviewed by ACHE to determine eligibility and to approve the program for the HEN credential. The agreement defines the obligations of both ACHE and the university/college program. Once approved, the university/college must encourage membership in ACHE, and in return, ACHE will provide free electronic subscriptions to each ACHE publication (x3), offer one discounted tuition for the program director or designee to attend Congress, and has a dedicated website to assist the program in providing a valuable on-campus student organization.
As such, we are honored to have these HEN programs included in our chapter:
· Bowling Green State University
· Davenport University
· Eastern Michigan University
· Mercy College of Ohio
· Oakland University
· Siena Heights University
· University of Detroit Mercy
· University of Michigan
· University of Toledo
If you have any questions or would like to learn more please do not hesitate to reach out to MCACHE at mcache@achemail.net

Emerging Leaders Community Service at Helping Hands | |
|
By: Shamole Ahmed, MPH, Emerging Leaders Community Engagement Lead
The Community Engagement Committee collaborated with Helping Hand for Relief and Development to help package items on Saturday, May 20th, at their location in Southfield. MCACHE had 25 volunteers work together to efficiently sort and package clothes and shoes according to gender and age (adults and kids), as well as packaging toiletries, diapers, food, and other essential items into boxes that will be sent overseas.
The group split up the task by item category and dispersed around the warehouse for two hours of hard work. Together, the MCACHE volunteers were able to package 85 boxes of clothes and 15 boxes of food and hygiene items meeting the goal of 100 boxes. Helping Hand for Relief and Development is a global humanitarian relief and development organization responding to human sufferings in emergency and disaster situations around the world. The packaged boxes will go towards providing aide to those who have experienced emergency and disaster situations. It was a pleasure for MCACHE to collaborate with their cause and we look forward to continuing our partnership in future events.
All MCACHE participants enjoyed a free water bottle embracing the MCACHE logo as well as our Community Engagement t-shirts if they had not already received one. If you are interested in getting yourself some MCACHE swag, please be sure to register for one of our upcoming Community Engagement events throughout 2023.

Emerging Leaders Professional Development & Networking - Tigers Game | |
|
By: Mike Henry, MHSA, Emerging Leaders Professional Development & Networking Lead
On Friday, June 23rd, 27 emerging leaders gathered in Detroit for an evening of laid-back networking and Tiger’s baseball. A Happy Hour at the Tin Roof bar across the street from Comerica Park allowed the fun to get started before the game even began. Despite a steady drizzle of rain during Happy Hour, old and new MCACHE members alike made it out to network and enjoy drinks and appetizers. The Tin Roof patio was the perfect space for our big group (with some taking shelter underneath the table umbrellas!), and everyone enjoyed the chicken wings and chicken tenders from the onsite food truck, Honey Hot Detroit.
Thankfully the rain stopped about 15 minutes before the first pitch, so the group didn’t have to worry about any delays to the start of the game! The Tiger’s kept things competitive, but ultimately ended up losing to the Minnesota Twins 4 – 1. However, the mascot, Paws, stopped by in the middle of the game to bring some smiles to the group. Despite some rain and a Tiger’s loss, it was a very enjoyable evening and an impressive turnout. Thanks to everyone who made it out – we hope to see everyone again next year!

Meet & Greet with MCACHE Chapter President - A Great Event of Networking & Friends | |
 | |
By: Medija Shaska, FACHE, Chair, Communications Committee
On Tuesday, July 18th, MCACHE held its annual Meet and Greet Event where members and guests alike had the opportunity to meet our MCACHE Chapter President Angela DeLaere, and more importantly catch up with colleagues and old friends! Angela also took a few minutes and spoke to the chapter’s work so far this year, plans for the future, as well as her and the leaders’ work focus for the remaining months of 2023.
The weather and the venue were certainly perfect for the event: the warm evening made everyone comfortable, while the setting at the Detroit Shipping Company ensured guests had access to light appetizers and beverages of all types.
I personally had the opportunity to catch up with colleagues and friends that I hadn’t seen for a while, as well as meet new people; those interested in joining MCACHE and a few others who had joined recently but hadn’t really participated in any events yet. The consensus was that everyone was excited and happy that in-person events are back, and we got to meet and catch up beyond the usual screens and zoom calls. We also talked about the importance of these events, as many of us look to broaden networks and look for future opportunities. If you are interested to join us at our next in-person event, please check out the Upcoming Events Page in our website (https://mcache.org/events/list/).

Program Description: Healthcare organizations are facing unprecedented challenges due to changing business models, adjusting reimbursement strategies and the need to accept more risk. These pressures are not likely to dissipate anytime soon, so effective leaders need to equip themselves with an expanded set of skills—and a new mindset—to stay ahead of the changes. This dynamic and timely seminar will tackle some of the most pressing challenges healthcare leaders face today and equip you with the tools you need to be successful during times of uncertainty. The presenters will use contemporary case studies, designed especially for this course, as the backbone for learning. You will then apply a design-thinking toolkit to assess current leadership and healthcare industry challenges and brainstorm plausible solutions. You will finish the course with several problem-solving approaches for today’s top issues and future business challenges.
Seminar Objectives:
- Develop new skills for analyzing current business model challenges and crafting plausible future alternatives.
- Review trends and leading practices related to solving today’s top industry challenges and analyze their potential impact on your organization.
