What: The Sustainable Health Care Cost Growth Target Technical Advisory Group (TAG) is holding its first meeting.
To achieve the goals of the Health Care Cost Growth Target Program, data submitters, stakeholders and the public must have confidence that the data collected and reported by the program are valid and reliable. The purpose of the Health Care Cost Growth Target TAG is to ensure that the processes involved in developing data submission specifications and health care cost growth measurement are appropriate and transparent.
The TAG is not a decision-making body: it is an advisory body providing a venue for discussion, brainstorming and solution finding.
When: February 24, 2021. 10:00 AM - noon
Where: Virtual meeting only. The public can join remotely via Zoom or conference line.

Agenda: Welcome and Introductions. Overview of the Health Care Cost Growth Target Program and Implementation Committee recommendations. Review TAG charter and workplan. Introduce intent, timeline, and process for developing data submission template and specifications, and temporary rules. Wrap up.
