Meeting Agenda*

Sunday, March 8

Registration Open

Board Meeting 

By invitation only.

Training:

Introduction to the Reproductive Justice Framework*
*This training has reached capacity, and is no longer available for pre-registration.
This training not only will familiarize participants with the concepts of Reproductive Justice (which links reproductive rights with social justice) and intersectionality, but also will review how some practices and policies [e.g., directive approaches to contraceptive counseling, promotion of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC), barriers to LARC removal] may be at odds with these concepts. From here, the training will explore how family planning programs may benefit from incorporating the Reproductive Justice Framework into practice. 

Lunch for Training Attendees

Trainings:

Implementing Telehealth: Getting Started
Increasingly, the delivery of healthcare services through telehealth is being used to improve access to care. This training will address the implementation of a telehealth program in the family planning setting. Speakers will discuss key considerations and steps in getting started, including program design, technology selection and costs, reimbursement strategies, and policy development. Two different examples of current family planning telehealth programs will be presented.

Best Practices in Policies, Procedures, and Protocols*
*This training has reached capacity, and is no longer available for pre-registration.
Policies, procedures, and clinical protocols play an integral role in providing structure and support to any health care organization. This practical skill-building training will review best practices for creating and implementing clinical policies, procedures, and protocols. Participants will have an opportunity to work on their own documents during this training.

Using Free or Low-Cost Tools to Build Out Social Media Content Effectively
This session will feature a live demonstration of the tools available for graphics creation, audience/hashtag tracking, pre-scheduling, and more, to support your organization’s presence on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram—without breaking the bank. This training will also provide guidance on tracking reach and better understanding who is engaging with the organization’s content as well as allowing participants to workshop social media opportunities.

Demystifying the 340B Drug Pricing Program for Family Planning Providers
The 340B drug pricing program, which offers discounts on drugs and devices to safety-net providers including Title X- and CDC STD 318-funded health centers, is often a source of confusion for participants. The confusion has only been magnified by departures from the Title X program and entities using different funding streams to access the 340B program. This session will review the basics of 340B, discuss important elements of program compliance, review case study examples, and allow ample time for participants to share real-life scenarios and pose questions.

Plenary:

"What the (Reproductive) Health": A Conversation with Julie Rovner
Join a moderated conversation with Julie Rovner, chief Washington correspondent for Kaiser Health News and host of KHN's podcast "What the Health," about how reproductive health care policy is covered by the media and how reporters often silo reproductive health from broader health care. Rovner, a health policy journalist who has covered Capitol Hill for nearly 20 years, has a long history covering and reporting on the health care industry and can share her insights and perspectives on public perceptives of family planning and sexual health. She will be joined by NFPRHA's CEO Clare Coleman who will moderate the conversation.

Crisis Pregnancy Centers
The American Medical Association defines crisis pregnancy centers (CPC) as “organizations that seek to intercept women with unintended pregnancies who might be considering abortion.” CPCs rely on unethical and deceptive practices disguised as legitimate clinical services in order to attract clients.

Introduction to the Judicial Process - NFPRHA's Lawsuits in Context
This presentation will be a simplified presentation about NFPRHA’s lawsuits and how they fit into the larger judicial landscape. It is designed to be interactive and a place for newer NFPRHA members or members who have limited legal and policy backgrounds to ask questions. 

Free the Pill
The Free the Pill campaign aims to educate and engage the public in support of an over-the-counter (OTC) oral contraceptive (OC) option in the United States, and supports an OTC pill that is affordable, covered by insurance, and available to people of all ages without a prescription. The OCs OTC Working Group, the coalition behind the campaign, has engaged in a partnership with a pharmaceutical company to submit an OTC application to the FDA for a progestin-only pill. For this workshop session, we will present the case for moving OCs OTC as a way to expand contraceptive access, and will provide medical, youth, and policy perspectives on how to ensure that an OTC OC is available and accessible to all.

Is Your Health System Prepared for COVID-19?
Information regarding the novel coronavirus, the disease that it can cause (COVID-19), individual risk of infection, and prevention strategies have saturated the media. However, spread of coronavirus infection throughout the US may have profound impact on the operation of health care facilities, including family planning service sites. This session will highlight preparedness activities for ambulatory health systems to help mitigate the challenges that local spread could present. Drawn mainly from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations, the content will include health care workforce and workplace guidelines that address protocols for when a patient presents with an acute respiratory infection as well as operational guidance to help ensure business continuity.

Workshops:

Increasing Access to Family Planning Services
Increasing access to family planning services requires new and innovative strategies and partnerships and sometimes, a return to traditional methods of delivering services. This session will examine partnerships with community-based organizations to provide reproductive health services to women with substance use disorders and those in recovery and partnerships that expand access to care using mobile health units.

Family Planning and the Courts
The courts have long served as an important backstop against harmful administrative and legislative actions at the federal level and in the states, a fact which has been evidenced significantly in the last few years. Yet the courts are undergoing a massive shift in judicial ideology that is likely to have serious repercussions in the years, and perhaps decades, to come, particularly for family planning. This session will explore some of the key family planning-related cases currently pending at the federal level, how things have changed—and continue to change—in the courts, and what this might mean for the future.

Intergenerational Dynamics at Work
Diversity of experience and perspective can be a real asset to any organization. At the same time, there can be challenges in communication and effective collaboration that arise for intergenerational teams. This session will provide an introduction to understanding common experiences and perspectives of various generations and how they impact approaches to work and communication. A panel representing multiple generations will discuss strategies for improving our understanding of other generations, capitalizing on the strengths of team members from different generations, and creating work environments that foster better collaboration across generations.
