The Bree Collaborative is meeting this\u00a0week \u2013 Wednesday, March 16 from 12:30 \u2013 4:30 at the beautiful\u00a0Waterfront Activities Center<\/a>\u00a0on the University of Washington Campus. Join us for coffee and hear how we are working together to improve Washington State\u2019s health care system. \u00a0Agenda is\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Members will be voting on final adoption of our\u00a0Oncology Care Report and Recommendations<\/a>\u00a0after reviewing\u00a0suggestions, critiques, and commendations<\/a>\u00a0from almost 40 community members. Thank you to all those who submitted comments and I encourage anyone interested in our recommendations to email me at\u00a0gweir@qualityhealth.org<\/a>\u00a0or attend our meeting. Chairs of our Pediatric Psychotropic Drug Use, Opioid Prescribing Guideline Implementation, and Bariatric Bundled Payment Models workgroups will give us updates on workgroup progress and members will vote on approval of the\u00a0charter and roster<\/a> for our Bariatric Bundled Payment Models workgroup.<\/p>\n One of our ongoing conversations is how the Bree Collaborative can impact health disparities. We will be spending some time on this issue next week and will hear from the\u00a0Washington Health Alliance<\/a>\u00a0on their\u00a02015 Disparities in Care Report<\/a> and the\u00a0Washington Patient Safety Coalition<\/a>\u00a0about their new focus on health disparities.<\/p>\n
