POPULATION HEALTH LEARNING COLLABORATIVE: INAUGURAL SESSIOn
Understanding the Landscape of Challenges & Solutions to Advance a Culture of Health in Communities
FREE VIRTUAL WORKSHOP | RECORDINGS AVAILABLE BELOW
overview
Over the past 15+ years, there have been hundreds (if not thousands) of Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs), Community Health Assessments (CHAs) and Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIPs) done in the United States. These CHNAs, CHAs, and CHIPs are the foundation of efforts to improve community health, reduce disparities, and otherwise enhance the well-being of our communities, states, and nation. The stronger the foundation, the greater the likelihood of achieving the aspirations of these plans and the community members who create them.
A first generation of CHAs, CHNAs, and CHIPs was done largely out of a need to comply with various requirements. They were often done in isolation, generating reports at the lowest cost and least amount of effort that was required.
The second generation has raised the bar, often involving collaboration between the local health departments, hospitals, and a wider range of community members.
While this demonstrates movement in the right direction, it should be seen as a start of the journey to elevate practices, techniques, and tools for this important work, not as something we should be satisfied with. We believe now is the time for the third generation of practices.
The workshop will be the official launch of the Improving Population Health Learning Collaborative. It is also a great opportunity to bring together many of your partners to learn about these new techniques that will help to enhance your teamwork and success.
In this learning collaborative, a growing group of organizations and individuals will share emerging examples of innovation and how those improvements are leading to more successful progress in developing and implementing health improvement plans. Neither the workshop nor the learning collaborative are based on having all the details of the next generation of CHNAs, CHAs and CHIPs figured out, but there are many very promising practices and innovations that can be introduced as elements that can be integrated into a new set of practices. We will be inviting any health departments, healthcare providers or other stakeholders who are at the forefront of developing and adopting new practices to share that via this learning community and future webinars and workshops.
This workshop is based on the premise that it is important to examine and improve how these CHNAs, CHAs, and CHIPs are done and how they can be better integrated with the numerous other assessments that are being done by other organizations in the same communities. It explores some of the most promising techniques and examples of how to significantly improve how CHNAs, CHAs, and CHIPs can be done so that they support major improvements in addressing the social determinants of health as well as coordinated, pro-active care. The workshop will demonstrate upgrades to common practices that bring many community partners together, across sectors, to co-create and implement robust, multi-faceted strategies to improve the well-being of community members.
Participants will learn:
Definitions and attributes of a population health paradigm to change
How to conduct a game-changing population health assessment (methods, tools and data requirements)
Important differences between developing organizational strategies and community strategies.
How to harness the power of innovative partnerships and capitalize on new technologies to overcome obstacles to addressing complex social challenges.
Learn how evidence-based practices and tools from the strategy management field can improve collaboration and successful strategy implementation.
How a system-oriented approach that addresses social determinants of health and shared drivers of enhanced well-being can simultaneously address many health issues in a community.
Pathways to prioritizing equity and improving health for all.
