Lead staff, BHPC liaisons, and other collaborators can use this site to stay informed and coordinate efforts.#7Revisiting the Liaison role • • Originally created to coordinate and channel oversight between quarterly BHPC meetings Has been challenging to keep liaisons looped in for some aims • Works well when the work includes regularly scheduled ● meetings (example Aim 7 workgroup) Improvement ideas: • Identify liaisons by goal rather than aim • HSRI can e-connect liaisons with lead staff for each goal • Other ideas?#8Current Liaisons Aims 1.
