Financial and administrative functions
Identify regional health needs, resources and priorities
Operating budget and sustainability planning
Ongoing ACH work (SIM and beyond)

6. ACH-Tribal Engagement
Guidance Sent to ACHs in 2014
Tribal engagement by ACHs continues to be a priority
ACHs should reach out to each Tribe and allow each Tribe to decide whether or not they will participate and how they will coordinate their participation
State maintains government-to-government relations with the Tribes; ACHs need to respect this
HCA is developing a Tribal coordination plan
Experience since then:
ACHs at various stages of engagement with Tribes
HCA has contracted with the American Indian Health Commission for Washington State for assistance in developing a Tribal coordination plan

7. ACH-Tribal Engagement: AIHC Project
Goals for 2016:
To inform ACHs on the government-government relationship
To inform Tribes/UIHOs on the function/role of ACHs in WA
To gather information on what the Tribes/UIHOs want for ACH engagement
Report and recommendations due January 31, 2017
Potential parallel model for Tribes/UIHOs:
Tribal Coordinating Entity
