SUMMARY:Child and Adolescent Health and Health Care Quality: Measuring What Matters
DESCRIPTION:GIH Maternal and Child Health Audioconference Series \nSpeakers: \n\nRosemary Chalk\, Director\, Board on Children\, Youth and Families\, Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council\nCharles J. Homer\, President and Chief Executive Officer\, National Initiative for Children’s Healthcare Quality and\nmember of the IOM Committee on Pediatric Health and Health Care Quality Measures\n\nWhat: \nHealth and health care quality measures can provide valuable information about the health status of children and adolescents\, as well as the outcomes associated with medical care\, policy\, and social programs. Despite the fact that the U.S. government currently supports hundreds of data sets and measures through federal surveys and administrative data systems\, there is no single data source that can provide valid and reliable indicators about the health and health care quality of children and adolescents. In the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009\, Congress directed the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the National Research Council (NRC) to evaluate efforts to measure child and adolescent health and the quality of their health care services. The IOM\, which released a report April 25\, found that the lack of standardization among data sets\, as well as the lack of information on physical and social environments\, limits researchers’ ability to accurately assess the data. On this call\, funders heard about IOM’s recommendations to standardize and make improvements to data sources and measures of health and health care quality for children and adolescents.

SUMMARY:2011 Annual Meeting on Health Philanthropy
DESCRIPTION:Agenda \nLos Angeles\, California \nThe 2011 Grantmakers In Health (GIH) Annual Meeting on Health Philanthropy Creating a Healthier Future for Our Kids\, Families\, and Communities challenged grantmakers to envision a healthier future for children\, families\, and communities by working on many fronts: creating communities that support healthy choices\, promoting healthy behaviors; improving access to physical and behavioral health services; building a safe\, equitable\, and value-based system of care; and turning knowledge into practice. Health and well-being are shaped by complex and interrelated forces. Knowing this\, how can we ensure our communities are healthy places to live? And how do we work collectively to reach this goal? Today\, it is more important than ever for grantmakers to take action\, create change\, and achieve better health for all. \n\nMEETING REGISTRATION\nRegister by February 4 to avoid late fees. \nRegistration fees are $675 for GIH Funding Partners and $1\,150 for non-Funding Partners. \n\nHOTEL INFORMATION \nJ.W. Marriott Los Angeles at L.A. Live\n900 W. Olympic Boulevard\nLos Angeles\, CA 90015 \nNearby Hotels\nFigueroa Hotel (across from the J.W. Marriott)\nWilshire Grand Los Angeles\nLuxe Hotel City Center\nSheraton Los Angeles Downtown Hotel \n\nMEETING HIGHLIGHTS– PLENARY SESSIONS \nA New Paradigm for Fitness and Public Health\,Wednesday\, March 2\, 3:30 p.m.\nAntronette Yancey works tirelessly through her research\, teaching\, and writing to improve the nation’s health through chronic disease and obesity prevention\, and physical activity promotion.

SUMMARY:Frameworks for Transforming Systems and Improving Health Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:GIH Disparities Audioconference Series \nWhen: \nWednesday\, February 23\, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern / 1:00 p.m. Central / Noon Mountain / 11:00 a.m. Pacific \nWho: \n\nSteve Galen\, Executive Director\, Primary Care Coalition of Montgomery County\nMargaret O’Bryon\, President and CEO\, Consumer Health Foundation\nJohn Whittington\, Faculty\, Institute for Healthcare Improvement\n\nWhat: \nSignificant work is underway through health reform to improve access\, cost\, quality\, and\, ultimately\, health outcomes for people in this country. Community-based health care providers are also experimenting with real-time\, practice-based changes that show tremendous potential for improving outcomes. To further these advancements\, a collaborative infrastructure for promoting learning is needed. Such a system could be used to rapidly identify\, evaluate\, and promote diffusion of innovation across an array of critical stakeholders\, including patients\, providers\, payers\, and community-based entities. \nThis audioconference provided an overview of the Triple Aim framework for integrative and transformational change\, which was launched under the former leadership of Don Berwick at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. This framework\, recently introduced at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services\, seeks to optimize the experiences of individuals\, and the health and per capita costs for populations. Domestic and international health providers/payers at the forefront of transforming the health system have adopted Triple Aim\, which offers an innovative and adaptive construct for implementing health reform at local\, state\, and regional levels. \nOn the call\, speakers also discussed how the establishment of Regional Learning Centers may be especially useful in supporting improvements in the health of low-income\, diverse patient populations.

With the support of The California Endowment\, a group of national advocacy organizations\, in consultation with a group of national funders\, have written a report “Where the Rubber Meets the Road: Strategies for Successful State Implementation of the Affordable Care Act” that outlines the critical roles state advocates\, national organizations and funders will play in implementation. \nA number of national funders (including The Nathan Cummings Foundation\, The Atlantic Philanthropies\, The California Endowment\, the HJW Foundation\, The Langeloth Foundation\, and the Rockefeller Foundation)\, acting on the report’s recommendations\, have collaborated to create the Affordable Care Act Implementation Fund\, which was launched in January. The fund will provide strategic support to state-based health advocates to ensure effective and consumer-focused implementation of the ACA. The initial round of funding is targeted to sixteen states: California\, Colorado\, Florida\, Illinois\, Maryland\, Massachusetts\, Minnesota\, New Hampshire\, New Jersey\, New York\, North Carolina\, Ohio\, Oregon\, Utah\, Virginia\, and Washington. Additional states may be included as new funding is identified. One of the goals of the Fund is to engage new funders at the state and local level in this effort. \nOn this GIH audioconference\, Robert Phillips from The California Endowment\, Sara Kay from The Nathan Cummings Foundation and Karen Quigley from Community Catalyst discussed both the report and the Fund and ways that foundations may want to consider them in their work and funding decisions. \nMaterials: \nCommunity Catalyst announces the Affordable Care Act Implementation Fund. \nRelated Content\n\nACA Fund Facts – PDF document\, 27 KB

SUMMARY:Adapting to Change in the Political Landscape of State Government
DESCRIPTION:GIH Public Policy Audioconference Series \nWhen: \nThursday\, January 13\, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern / 1:00 p.m. Central / Noon Mountain / 11:00 a.m. Pacific \nWho: \n\nAlan Weil\, National Academy for State Health Policy\nBillie Hall\, Sunflower Foundation\nWendy Wolf\, Maine Health Access Foundation\n\nWhat: \nResults of the recent election have significantly altered the political map for state governments. Sixteen state legislatures changed party control of one or both chambers and\, of the 27 states with new governors\, 17 have seen a party switch in the governor’s office. This audioconference considered the implications of these political shifts for health policy and explored how health funders are responding to changes in the political landscape. \nAlan Weil led the discussion by summarizing the magnitude and scope of the changes in the political landscape at both the federal and state levels. He described the implications of these changes for health policy in three broad areas (1) the increase in the number of states actively opposing reform implementation\, (2) the increased likelihood that implementation\, to the extent it does proceed\, will reflect market-based\, rather than regulatory\, approaches\, and (3) the significant number of policymakers\, of both parties\, with limited knowledge of and experience in health policy issues. He commented on the high level of uncertainty that surrounds reform implementation\, ranging from continuing concerns about state budgets\, diminished resources for implementation activities\, on-going legal challenges\, and pending federal regulatory standards. Mr. Weil urged philanthropic organizations to reconsider funding investments in areas that have previously been viewed as core government activities\, support advocacy efforts\, and promote collaboration across states in order to reduce redundant analyses and problem-solving. \nBillie Hall described the changes that have taken place in Kansas\, sharing that the new governor just delivered his state of the state address\, released a new budget\, and has announced numerous new cabinet members and agency heads. Sunflower is still in the process of assessing the potential impact of these policies\, but significant changes are likely given that 8 state agencies are slated for elimination\, a consolidation of the Medicaid and public health agencies has been proposed\, and additional modifications in the Medicaid program are anticipated. She noted continuity in leadership in the office of the insurance commission. Ms. Hall indicated that the Sunflower Foundation is evaluating its current strategies in light of expected policy shifts. \nWendy Wolf discussed the changes taking place in Maine\, which saw a shift in party control of both the governor’s office and the state legislature. She stressed the need for foundations to assume a long-term strategic perspective and to avoid confusing election-related messaging with policy decision making. Ms. Wolf described long-standing efforts by MEHAF to support biennial educational seminars on health policy for new and returning legislators and emphasized the opportunities in offering credible\, objective information. \nDuring the interactive discussion\, participants concurred with the need for funders to take a leadership role in identifying common ground on priority issues\, such as addressing value and efficiency in health care services. Participants also discussed the need to assess new and existing partnerships in order to further philanthropic goals and to stay abreast of on-going policy deliberations at the state and federal level.

SUMMARY:The Mental Health Impact of Intimate Partner Violence
DESCRIPTION:GIH Mental Health Audioconference Series \nWhen: \nTuesday\, December 14\, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern / 1:00 p.m. Central / 12:00 p.m. Mountain / 11:00 a.m. Pacific \nWho: \n\nDr. Carole Warshaw and Dr. Terri Pease\, National Center on Domestic Violence\, Trauma\, and Mental Health\nCynthia P. Hayes\, Missouri Foundation for Health\n\nWhat: \nIn the United States\, one in every four women will experience intimate partner violence\, also known as domestic violence\, in her lifetime. Research has consistently demonstrated that domestic violence has adverse mental health consequences for both adult survivors and their children. It has also documented the high rates of abuse among women seen in mental health settings\, particularly women living with a psychiatric disability. Yet\, the systems to which survivors turn are frequently unprepared to address the range of issues they face in accessing safety\, recovering from trauma\, and restoring their lives. \nOn this webinar\, Carole Warshaw and Terri Pease of the National Center on Domestic Violence\, Trauma\, and Mental Health presented culturally relevant and trauma-informed strategies for responding to survivors who are experiencing the mental health effects of domestic violence and other lifetime trauma\, with a special emphasis on the role of grantmakers. In addition\, Cynthia Hayes shared insights drawn from her experience working with the Missouri Foundation for Health\, a funder in this area. \nRelated Content\n\nWarshaw and Pease PPT – PDF document\, 2425 KB

SUMMARY:How Early Influences Can Affect Later Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:GIH Mental Health Audioconference Series \nWhen: \nTuesday\, November 16\, 2010 at 12:00 p.m.\, Eastern/ 11:00 a.m. Central/ 10:00 a.m. Mountain/ 9:00 a.m. Pacific \nWho: \n\nMrs. Roxane Kaufmann\, Director\, Early Childhood Policy\, Georgetown University Center for Child and Human Development\nDr. Walter Gilliam\, Director\, The Edward Zigler Center in Child Development and Social Policy\, Yale Child Study Center\nDr. Meghan Guinnee\, Catalyst Research\n\nWhat: \nThe first three years of life are a period of incredible growth in all areas of a child’s development. Brain development and experiences during this period may set the course for many future behavior patterns. Outcomes can be observed through children’s behavior as they attempt to communicate their feelings of wellness\, abilities\, and/or difficulties that they are having in their home\, childcare\, preschool\, or other settings. \nMost occasional challenging behavior displayed by young children goes away without turning into more serious behavioral concerns. For some children\, however\, the behavior is more intense\, occurs more frequently\, and interferes with their ability to learn and form positive relationships with peers and significant adults. Persistent mental and behav¬ioral problems\, especially those beginning in early childhood\, can lead to a lifelong downward trajectory of antisocial behaviors. These difficulties can affect an individual’s social development\, educational attainment\, employment opportunities\, and risk of engaging in criminal activities. \nOn this call\, funders learned more about key issues related to mental health in early childhood. We also discussed innovative approaches geared toward fostering healthy social\, emotional\, and psychological development in young children to prevent preschool expulsions\, to help them succeed in school\, and to improve the systems of care available to serve them and their families. \nResources: \n\nCommunity Health Foundation of Western and Central New York\nThe Right Start Quality Improvement Collaborative\nThe Early Childhood Connections Pilot Program\n\nRelated Content\n\nECCP Policy Brief 2007 – PDF document\, 168 KB\nPre K Expulsion Brief 2008 – PDF document\, 2260 KB\nPre K Expulsion Brief 2005 – PDF document\, 219 KB\nRoxane Kauffman Presentation – PDF document\, 1079 KB

SUMMARY:Improving Women's Health from Communities to Care Settings
DESCRIPTION:In 2010\, the focus of the GIH Fall Forum was women’s health. Top speakers discussed the latest information\, from community factors that affect women’s health to access and coverage issues in health care settings. Participants heard about problems\, but also met with dynamic women designing solutions for their communities. The plenary session on the afternoon of November 9 served as an insider’s update on health reform\, followed by a reception for funders\, federal agency representatives\, and the broader health policy community. \nHealth is a window into women’s lives\, into the challenges they face as members of families and communities\, as caregivers\, and as health decisionmakers. \nImproving Women’s Health from Communities to Care Settings explored these challenges in depth to help funders understand how they affect women’s health and to stimulate thinking about the roles funders can play in improving outcomes. The meeting’s speakers\, all recognized leaders in their respective fields\, discussed women’s health from many perspectives. Their presentations informed participants about women’s health in relation to the life course\, health disparities\, the social determinants of health\, environmental exposures\, and health care access and coverage. We explored issues women face in getting access to\, and making decisions about\, health care\, including reproductive health care services\, and learn more about emerging disease trends. But\, it was not all about problems—each day\, panel discussions introduced participants to funders who are making a difference and to dynamic women who are developing and implementing solutions in their communities. \nThere were ample opportunities for talking with your peers during both days of the meeting\, including breakfast roundtables on November 10 where you can meet people and discuss topics of interest in greater depth. To continue the conversation\, GIH held a series of audioconferences in 2010–2011 on specific topics in women’s health. These discussions supplemented background material made available at the meeting. Look for more information about the series in the meeting portfolio. \nAround the world\, there is now enormous interest and investment in improving women’s health. This meeting served as part of that continuum. This meeting: provided the latest information about women’s health status and women’s health care; raised awareness about the broader factors that affect women’s health\, including the implications of health reform; and highlighted the work of foundations and organizations that are developing and implementing solutions.

SUMMARY:Fall Forum Plenary & Reception: On-the-Ground Washington Update on the Progress of Health Reform
DESCRIPTION:On-the-Ground Washington Update on the Progress of Health Reform \nDonald Berwick\, M.D.\, administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)\, was be the policy plenary keynoter at the 2010 Grantmakers In Health Fall Forum Improving Women’s Health from Communities to Care Settings and will share his thoughts on the progress of health care reform. For health foundations\, the law is the culmination of decades of work\, but it is just the opening act for the substantial work that lies ahead. Implementation of this sweeping and ambitious law is taking place amidst a dynamic environment of allies and opposition. Ensuring that it lives up to its promise requires involvement from a wide range of public and private players. \nAs head of CMS\, Dr. Berwick is a central player in health care reform implementation– his agency is responsible for overseeing a major expansion of Medicaid\, which under the new law would cover an additional 16 million people by the end of the decade. CMS is also charged with containing Medicare costs\, while at the same time improving and expanding certain benefits. \nAs implementation unfolds\, what will be the greatest challenges and important milestones? What can we expect in the coming year? What are strategic opportunities for philanthropy? Dr. Berwick will address these and other key points\, providing an insider’s view on health care reform’s priorities and processes. \nThe policy plenary session is just one highlight of this year’s Fall Forum. Improving Women’s Health from Communities to Care Settings will examine how women\, their health\, and the health-related decisions they make can play a critical role in shaping solutions that serve everyone.

SUMMARY:Advocacy for Impact - Guiding Grantees to Success
DESCRIPTION:GIH Public Policy Audioconference Series \nWhen: \n\nMonday\, November 1\, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern/1:00 p.m. Central/Noon Mountain/11:00 a.m. Pacific\n\nWho: \n\nKristen Grimm and Ed Walz\, Spitfire Strategies\nChristie McElhinney\, The Colorado Trust\nGara LaMarche\, The Atlantic Philanthropies\n\nWhat: \nThe election season and political shake-ups mean nonprofits will soon be seeking funding to support advocacy efforts. This interactive session explored approaches to determining which advocacy efforts complement a foundation’s theory of change\, guiding nonprofits in the development of plans for successful advocacy\, and assessing the soundness of an advocacy strategy presented in a proposal. \nKristin Grimm provided a strategic framework for planning and evaluating advocacy activities. She stressed the importance of identifying and articulating a theory of change which describes a pathway and interim milestones for achieving a particular goal. This theory of change provides a conceptual model which can be used to further identify requisite policy change objectives\, advocacy needs\, and promising grantmaking strategies. Ms. Grimm summarized a systematic approach to framing these strategic decisions through a series of questions designed to elicit thoughtful consideration of potential options\, opportunities\, and barriers. \nGara LaMarche and Christie McElhinney shared their perspectives on the framework and approach Ms. Grimm had described. Mr. LaMarche noted that advocacy for policy change is a core component of Atlantic Philanthropies’ approach to bringing about lasting changes in the lives of people who are disadvantaged by their economic situation\, race\, nationality\, gender\, age\, disabilities\, immigration status\, sexual orientation\, political affiliation or religion. He highlighted several examples of how Atlantic Philanthropies has utilized advocacy\, including how the Health Care for America NOW (HCAN) initiative raised the visibility of abusive practices within the health insurance industry during the national health care reform debate. Ms. McElhinney described how The Colorado Trust had only recently adopted advocacy as a strategic intervention and discussed the theory of change\, ten-year vision\, and strategic plan the organization developed to achieve the goal of universal access to high quality\, affordable health care for all Coloradans. \nEd Walz summarized five critical capacities needed for effective advocacy related to (1) policymaking\, (2) people\, (3) politics\, (4) plan\, and (5) power. Mr. Walz provided several examples to illustrate how these capacities influence advocacy effectiveness and how foundations can assess the capacity of potential grantees in each of these areas. \nMs. McElhinney and Mr. LaMarche discussed how their organizations have integrated capacity assessments into their advocacy strategies. Ms. McElhinney described the intensive evaluation methods The Colorado Trust has adopted and emphasized that evaluation design and results should inform the strategic direction of the foundation and individual grantees. Mr. LaMarche stressed the need for responsive approaches that can adapt to changing environmental and political realities and encouraged funders to develop their own internal policy and political intelligence. \nRelated Content\n\nAdvocacy For Impact Presentation – Microsoft PowerPoint presentation\, 6670 KB
