From May 30th through June 1st, the National Indian Health Board (NIHB) hosted over 200 Tribal public health leaders, researchers, professionals, and other stakeholders at its National Tribal Public Health Summit at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This year’s conference, “Our Health, Our Way: Achieving Healthy Native Communities,” provided a chance for attendees to discuss successes, challenges, opportunities, and the future of health care for American Indian and Alaska Native people. Conference workshops were divided into four different tracks including: Accreditation/Law & Policy, Health Promotion/Disease Prevention, Research, and Environmental Health. The workshops offered a wealth of information and the track structure allowed attendees to select the workshops that best fit their focus or learning objectives for the conference.

The National Indian Health Board hosted its 27th Annual Consumer Conference in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The theme of the conference was “Tribal-State Relations and American Indian and Alaska Native Health Care.” Over 400 people from throughout Indian Country attended the year’s largest conference on American Indian/Alaska Native health care.

Plenary sessions included updates from the Indian Health Service, overviews of health care reform included the first national presentation by the Office of Personnel Management of the Federal Employee Health Benefits Plan for Tribes; a “CMS Day” which provided information on Medicare and Medicaid and updates on programs such as the Special Diabetes Program for Indians.

The National Indian Health Board also held an awards luncheon to honor individuals who have significantly contributed to the field of American Indian/Alaska Native Health Care. The Jake White Crow award this year was presented to the late Robert Moore, and received by the family of Robert Moore, who passed away earlier this year. Mr. Moore was honored for his tireless commitment to improving health care for American Indians and Alaska Natives.

PRE-CONFERENCE TRAINING

Quality Improvement (QI) Basics: Methods and Tools for Tribal Public Health Systems
May 18, 2010

Providing quality healthcare in our Tribal communities has become increasingly complex and involves many stakeholders. Tribal health organizations are increasing engaged in quality improvement activities to improve service delivery, build Tribal infrastructure and improve performance to better serve their communities.

In the 2010 NIHB Tribal Public Health Profile, Tribal health departments were asked to identify training needs that would be of greatest benefit to their organization. The top three areas most identified for technical assistance and training were community health assessments, data use and interpretation, and quality improvement methods.

In response to this need for technical assistance and training, the NIHB is currently offering Quality Improvement (QI) Basics: Methods and Tools for Tribal Public Health Systems, a pre-conference training, at the 2010 NIHB Public Health Summit.

The registration fee for this pre-conference training is $100.00. This pre-conference training is limited to 45 participants, so REGISTER TODAY! Please note that registering for the pre-conference session does not register you for the full Public Health Summit and additional registration fess must be paid in order to attend the full summit.

This pre-conference training is supported in part with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
