Sacramento TGA - HIV Health Services Planning Council Committees

Planning Councils must find out what services are needed and what populations need care (needs assessment). Next, it decides what services to fund in the Transitional Grant Area (TGA) (priority setting) and decides how much Part A money should be used for each of these services (resource allocations). The planning council works with the grantee to develop a long-term plan on how to provide these services (comprehensive plan). The planning council also looks for ways that Part A services work to fill gaps in care with other Ryan White programs (through the Statewide Coordinated Statement of Need or SCSN) as well as other services like Medicaid and Medicare (coordination). The planning council also evaluates how efficiently providers are selected and paid and how well their contracts are monitored (assessment of the efficiency of the administrative mechanism). All these roles are described below.

In order to complete all the necessary work which must be performed, the HIV Health Services Planning Council consists of the following committees:

Affected Communities Committee (ACC)
Administrative Assessment Committee (AdAC)
Executive Committee (Exec)
Governance Committee (Gov)
Needs Assessment Committee (NAC)
Priorities and Allocations Committee (PAC)
Quality Advisory Committee (QAC)
