Community First is dedicated to providing our most vulnerable Members with the highest quality of care and support. The STAR Kids Clinical and Administrative Advisory Committee (SKCAC) plays a crucial role in achieving this goal.
SKCAC meetings serve as a bridge between Community First and our network of Providers. We value the input of our Providers on the front lines of care delivery and use their feedback to improve the health, safety, and overall well-being of STAR Kids Members. The SKCAC focuses on:
- Developing, reviewing, and revising clinical practice guidelines based on clinical best practices and community standards;
- Reviewing general clinical practice patterns and assessing Provider compliance with clinical guidelines;
- Assisting Community First, Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), and the state’s External Quality Review Organization (EQRO) in the development of Quality Improvement strategies and studies;
- Assisting in the development of improved administrative procedures;
- Providing Community First with recommendations on how to improve care based on Member feedback; and
- Connecting network Providers and Community First clinical experts for purposes of peer support and best practice information sharing.
SKCAC is open to Community providers and other physical health and Behavioral Health experts that serve Community First STAR Kids Members. To join the SK CAC at Community first or to attend a meeting, please contact the Vice President of Population Health Management to reserve a space. SK CAC meets quarterly throughout the year. Join us to shape better health care.
