The Health Professions Council has been successful in creating a number of shared initiatives which
save money and promote improved quality and consistency for member agencies. Major efforts include:
* Collation to one state office building
* Shared conference rooms, reception areas, break rooms
* Purchase of a shared Imaging System for purposes of agency documentation
of archives and ongoing daily records
* Creation and operation of a statewide toll-free complaint system for public
complaints against any licensed health professional. This one-stop complaint
system provides easy access for consumers, many of whom are unsure of
which agency to contact. This shared system also significantly lowers costs
for member agencies to provide a toll-free consumer line.
* Development of shared manuals including a Board Member Training Manual,
Risk Management Manual, Disaster Recovery Plan, and policy and procedure
statements on various topics. These statements and. manuals are designed to
save staff time and assure consistency.
* Coordinated Staff Training. The Council provides training through an ongoing
schedule of varied programs for member agencies, most of whom are too small
to provide staff development programs.
* Shared legislative tracking of bills during legislative session and shared
information regarding effects of proposed legislation.
* Development of backup payroll support amongst member agencies to assist19
