Jennifer Koehler, JD, Office of Governor Pat Quinn, Chicago, IL
        
This presentation will first outline Illinois' plans for and progress toward coverage expansion under the Affordable Care Act, and will explain what it means to implement a state-federal partnership exchange, as opposed to a federally facilitated or state-based model.

This presentation will also address implementation of consumer outreach and enrollment programs, with a focus on the potential role of the public health system in these efforts, and the potential impact on population health outcomes of successful outreach and increased coverage.

Learning Areas:

Communication and informatics
Diversity and culture
Implementation of health education strategies, interventions and programs

Learning Objectives:
Identify opportunities for improvement of public health indicators within the consumer outreach function and operations of the Illinois Health Insurance Marketplace.
