Member Involvement in Planning and Decision Making
NBHP encourages and supports clients and their families to get involved in various committees and work groups. NBHP has groups and committees that:
- make decisions about services by making plans for new services or making changes to current services;
- review the quality of care given by providers by looking at reports and analyzing what and how everything works to help clients get better;
- review NBHP’s written materials or web-site information for members to see if the writing is clear and understandable by the average person;
- review general policies to see if they show that NBHP is honoring the Medicaid contract.
- train clients and family members to outreach to and educate others about maintaining wellness.
