SUMMARY:Innovative Crossroads: The Intersection of Creativity\, Health\, and Aging
DESCRIPTION:Our country is on the verge of a significant demographic shift that will see a large increase in the number of older Americans. The potential implications for the health care system\, as well as the elderly and their families\, will be enormous\, requiring that we consider innovative approaches to treating\, managing\, and preventing disease. A promising and innovative area that has already shown considerable potential and some success is strengthening the links between creativity\, health\, and aging. Research continues to find many positive health benefits for those who actively participate in creative arts programs\, both from a prevention perspective and for those afflicted with disorders and diseases that occur more frequently as we age. \nInnovative Crossroads: The Intersection of Creativity\, Health\, & Aging wase held on Wednesday\, May 1\, 2013 in Washington\, DC. A partnership of GIH with the National Center for Creative Aging\, Grantmakers In Aging\, Grantmakers in the Arts\, and the Global Alliance for Arts & Health\, this one-day meeting explored how creative expression can improve health outcomes for older Americans; the various types of promising programs; and the challenges and opportunities where funders can make a difference. The agenda included a number of knowledgeable experts and ample opportunity for funders to engage in active dialogue. The meeting was held at two locations: the Le Meridien Arlington for the morning presentations and The Kreeger Museum for the afternoon discussion. \nRelated Content\n\nFINAL Agenda – Microsoft Word document\, 28 KB

Steps need to be taken to ensure that such regulations protect public health while also ensuring farmers of diverse scales can stay in business. In 2010\, Congress passed the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) — the first major overhaul to our nation’s food safety laws since the 1930s. With the aim of improving food safety\, Congress included a number of key provisions to ensure that regulations work for sustainable food and agriculture systems. On this webinar\, funders learned how the FSMA and pending FDA regulations will affect local and regional food systems that are vital to the public’s health now and in the future. \n

SUMMARY:February Kids' Access Funders Network Call
DESCRIPTION:When: \nTuesday\, February 5\, 2013 at 2:30 p.m. ET \nWho: \n\nJoe Touschner\, Georgetown Center for Children and Families\nMeg Comeau\, The Catalyst Center\n\nWhat: \nThe Affordable Care Act (ACA) established a minimum set of services\, called the essential health benefits (EHB)\, that all health plans in the individual and small group markets must offer starting in 2014. The ACA included 10 broad categories of services that the EHB must cover\, including emergency services\, preventive services\, maternity and newborn care\, and prescription drugs\, but left what should be covered within these categories up to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In November 2012 HHS published a proposed rule outlining standards relating to EHB packages\, and a timeline for when issuers offering coverage in a federally facilitated exchange or state partnership exchange must become accredited. On this Kids’ Access Funders Network call participants learned more about the framework that states will use to create EHB plans\, the implications for children and families\, including children with special health care needs\, and next steps. \nRelated Content\n\nDefining EHB – PDF document\, 221 KB\nTouschner Presentation – PDF document\, 297 KB\nComeau Presentation – PDF document\, 96 KB

SUMMARY:2012 Fall Forum: Health Care Transformed: Better Delivery for Those Most in Need
DESCRIPTION:Improving the quality of health care delivery is a hallmark of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Provisions in the health care law encourage and support innovative approaches to transform the health care system to one that improves quality\, increases access\, eliminates waste\, and reduces costs\, particularly for those with multiple chronic conditions. \nHealth Care Transformed: Better Delivery for Those Most in Need was designed to inform funders’ work. Discussion topics included: \n\npromising innovations in health care delivery models\,\nnecessary elements for creating a patient-centered medical home\,\npayment reform\, and\nthe work of fellow funders supporting coordinated care efforts in their communities.\n\nThursday\, November 15 \nKeynote Speaker: Jeffrey Brenner\, Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers \nThe first day of the Fall Forum focused on transforming care for high-cost\, high-need patients. This relatively small share of patients—those with multiple chronic or complex conditions and those with needs that span the spectrum of behavioral\, social\, and medical care—account for a disproportionate share of health care costs\, even though the outcomes of their care are not always commensurate with the costs. Can health care systems be transformed to better meet the needs of the neediest without increasing the cost burden? Promising experiences suggest that both better outcomes and cost savings for all are possible through a focus on high-cost\, high-need patients. \nFriday\, November 16 \nKeynote Speaker: Mitchell Katz\, Los Angeles Department of Health Services \nThe second day of the Fall Forum focused on the creation and expansion of patient-centered medical care\, especially within the safety net. Funders\, providers\, and field experts will discuss the ways in which the ACA is supporting the development and diffusion of patient-centered medical care; required elements to create and sustain health homes within primary care practices; issues surrounding payment reform and costs savings; the integration of behavioral and mental health services; evaluating patient experiences; and shared examples of successes in the field. Ample evidence exists to demonstrate the value and cost savings of patient-centered care—can the vision be turned into a reality? \n  \nMEETING LOCATION \nThe Fairfax at Embassy Row\n2100 Massachusetts Avenue NW\nWashington\, DC 20008 \nRelated Content\n\n2012 Fall Forum Brochure – PDF document\, 1649 KB\n2012 Fall Forum Registration Form – PDF document\, 343 KB\nAdditional Hotels – Microsoft Word document\, 12 KB\nBrenner Presentation – PDF document\, 7113 KB\nFeder Presentation – PDF document\, 228 KB\nHodin Presentation – PDF document\, 1221 KB\nSerota Presentation – PDF document\, 720 KB\nAlexander Presentation – PDF document\, 554 KB\nDiPietro Presentation – PDF document\, 198 KB\nGreenwald Presentation – PDF document\, 699 KB\nIngoglia Presentation – PDF document\, 325 KB\nAbrams Presentation – PDF document\, 661 KB\nHong Presentation – PDF document\, 218 KB\nPhillips Presentation – PDF document\, 550 KB\nScholle Presentation – PDF document\, 348 KB\nBerenson Presentation – PDF document\, 114 KB\nLong Presentation – PDF document\, 375 KB\nSandman Presentation – PDF document\, 141 KB
