On occasion, to address an emerging health care issue, IHA convenes a special taskforce to report on that issue and make recommendations to the IHA board for further action. Currently, there are two taskforces in operation:

Rehabilitation

The Rehabilitation Taskforce supports quality, cost-effective and accessible rehabilitation programs. The taskforce works to support IHA members through activities that educate consumers and providers, influence public policy and legislation and enhance the delivery of rehabilitation services to people with disabilities.

Federal Leveraging

The Federal Leveraging Taskforce reviews and makes recommendations regarding possible changes to Disproportionate Share Hospitals (DSH), Medicaid Upper Payment Limits (UPH) and Hospital Care for the Indigent (HCI).
