4. PPS Updates

5. State Updates New Timeline
Department of Health (DOH) adjusted the release date of the DSRIP Project Plan application to Sept 22nd and announced a revised DSRIP Year 0 timeline 
Revised version the DSRIP Project Toolkit with public comments is available online 
Newly proposed regulations for the Certificate of Public Advantage (COPA) process
COPA is the mechanism that gives health care providers immunity from anti-trust laws so that they can form PPSs with other health care providers who might otherwise be competitors
The idea is that the benefits of collaboration outweigh the negative impacts of less competition among providers. The proposed COPA regulations were initially published in the State Register on Sept 18, 2013. The recently released COPA regulations reflect public feedback and comments. These newly revised regulations will be open for public feedback until Sept 26, Key dates from state:
