Health system strengthening – what is it, how should we assess it, and does i...ReBUILD for Resilience
This presentation was given to the UK's Department for International Development on 30th July 2019.
Comprehensive reviews of health system strengthening interventions are rare, partly because of lack of clarity on definitions of the term but also the potentially huge scale of the evidence. In our talk, we will reflect on the process of undertaking such an evidence review for DFID recently (attached again), drawing out suggestions on definitions of HSS and approaches to assessment, as well as summarising some key conclusions from the current evidence base. Most HSS interventions have theories of change relating to specific system blocks, but more work is needed on capturing their spill-over effects and their contribution to meeting over-arching health system process goals. We will make some initial suggestions about such goals, to reflect the features that characterise a ‘strong health system’. We will highlight current findings on ‘what works’ but also that these are just indicative, given the limitations and biases in what has been studied and how, and argue that there is need to re-think evaluation methods for HSS beyond finite interventions and narrow outcomes. Clearer concepts, frameworks and methods can support more coherent HSS investment.

Step 1 Engage Stakeholders The first step in the CD.docxdessiechisomjj4
Step 1: Engage Stakeholders
The first step in the CDC Framework approach to program evaluation is to engage the
stakeholders. Stakeholders are people or organizations that are invested in the program, are
interested in the results of the evaluation, and/or have a stake in what will be done with the
results of the evaluation. Representing their needs and interests throughout the process is
fundamental to good program evaluation.
Typical Stakeholders in Public Health
Key stakeholders for evaluations of public health programs fall into three major groups:
• Those involved in program operations: Management, program staff, partners, funding
agencies, and coalition members.
• Those served or affected by the program: Patients or clients, advocacy groups,
community members, and elected officials.
• Those who are intended users of the evaluation findings: Persons in a position to make
decisions about the program, such as partners, funding agencies, coalition members, and
the general public or taxpayers.
Clearly, these categories are not mutually exclusive; in particular, the primary users of
evaluation findings are often members of the other two groups, i.e., the program management or
an advocacy organization or coalition. While you may think you know your stakeholders well,
these categories help you to think broadly and inclusively in identifying stakeholders.
Potential Stakeholders in Public Health Programs
• Program managers and staff.
• Local, state, and regional coalitions interested in the public health issue.
• Local grantees of your funds.
• Local and national advocacy partners.
• Other funding agencies, such as national and state governments.
• State or local health departments and health commissioners.
• State education agencies, schools, and other educational groups.
• Universities and educational institutions.
• Local government, state legislators, and state governors.
• Privately owned businesses and business associations.
• Health care systems and the medical community.
• Religious organizations.
• Community organizations.
• Private citizens.
• Program critics.
• Representatives of populations disproportionately affected by the problem.
• Law enforcement representatives.
Introduction to Program Evaluation for Public Health Programs Page 13
Why Stakeholders are Important to an Evaluation
Stakeholders can help (or hinder) an evaluation before it is conducted, while it is being
conducted, and after the results are collected and ready for use. Because so many public health
efforts are complex and because public health agencies may be several layers removed from
frontline implementation, stakeholders take on particular importance in ensuring that the right
evaluation questions are identified and that evaluation results will be used to make a difference.
Stakeholders are much more likely to support the evaluation and act on the results and
recommendations if they are involved.

Week Two Assignment: Identification of Healthcare Policy Concern Guidelines and Grading Rubric
Purpose
In this course, the students will have the opportunity to identify a healthcare policy concern and community
healthcare concern which can be improved with a change in policy, ordinance or the language in existing
law. The outcome would be the potential for improved health for a population group. Students will present
a proposed solution or change to an elected official, and provide an analysis of the project. While students
are not responsible for ensuring the implementation of their identified solution to the healthcare policy
concern, the student is required to meet with an elected official to present the concern and
proposed resolution. The purpose of this current assignment is to identify the community-based healthcare
policy concern and provide an extensive evidenced-based foundation for proposing a policy change to an
elected official.
Course Outcomes
This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:
CO 1. Employ strategies to impact the development, implementation, and consequences of holistic focused healthcare policies at the institutional, local, national, and international levels using evidence-based practice principles. (PO 1)
CO 3. Demonstrate professional and personal growth regarding the advocacy role of the advance practice nurse in healthcare policy for diverse healthcare settings. (PO 3)
CO 5. Advocate for institutional, local, national, and international policies that influence person-centered healthcare, consumers, and nursing practice. (PO 5)
Due Date Sunday 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 2
Total Points: 250 points
Requirements
Description of the Assignment
For this assignment, the student must first select a healthcare policy concern. The concern must be a community-based, public health policy concern. Student may not use healthcare entities or organizational concerns occurring within a private or public healthcare facility. Scholarly evidence supporting the concern must be presented that provides a comprehensive picture of the selected healthcare concern as well as the student-identified solution. The elected official whom the student will interview is also identified in this paper.
Criteria for Content
1. Overview of healthcare policy: This section introduces healthcare policy. It should contain the following elements:
· Define healthcare policy in general and its implications for the nursing profession
· Define the role of advocacy and how it can impact healthcare policy
· Explain how the role of advocacy is consistent with the responsibilities of an advance practice nurse
2. Identification of selected healthcare policy concern: This section provides foundational information regarding the student-selected healthcare policy concern. It should contain the following elements:
· Specifically identify the selected healthcare policy concern

Changes to Connecticut’s Medicaid program (HUSKY) in 2008 provided a unique opportunity to examine the impact of new policies on the oral health outcomes of low-income children. Higher Medicaid reimbursement rates, streamlined provider enrollment procedures for participating dentists, as well as outreach to communities, individuals and dentists helped expand access to dental services and remedy Connecticut’s most common and treatable chronic childhood disease—tooth decay.
CT Health is pleased to announce the availability of a third round of grant funding to increase the diversity of consumers participating in health reform engagement and advocacy.
The Connecticut Health Foundation (CT Health) is pleased to announce the availability of funding to diversify and strengthen oral health advocacy in CT. CT Health anticipates making two awards of up to $40,000 for a two-year period will be made.
For over ten years, CT Health been committed to improving access and quality of oral health care in the state. There is evidence that these efforts have made a measurable difference in access and utilization of oral health care for low-income Connecticut residents, especially children.
The existing community of oral health advocates have been essential to these efforts. To build greater momentum, however, we must increase the number and type of effective advocates who have credibility and influence.
The second part of our theory is supporting the integration of oral health into overall health must be supported to elevate its status.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) offers an unprecedented opportunity for Connecticut to increase the number of people covered by health insurance. An important measure of the ACA’s success in Connecticut is its ability to enroll underserved populations through Access Health CT (AHCT) — the state’s new health insurance marketplace — into private insurance plans or Medicaid. This evaluation focuses on the consumer experience of the AHCT enrollment effort between December 2013 and March 2014, with emphasis on the experiences of underserved urban populations, as well of the navigators and in-person assisters who helped them. The goal was to identify factors that facilitated or impeded enrollment and outreach during the first open enrollment period in order to provide recommendations to enhance future targeted outreach and enrollment efforts.
The evaluation was conducted and designed by CARE: Community Alliance for Research and Engagement at the Yale School of Public Health, using a multi-method approach. Alycia Santilli of CARE gave this presentation on 8/21/14 to a special meeting of the AHCT Board of Directors.
The Connecticut Health Foundation has an open Request for Proposals. The application deadline for the "Diverse Advocacy and Consumer Engagement in Health Reform" RFP is 4/21/14.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics

CT Health Goals for HLFP
1 Develop the knowledge and skills of individuals in the
areas of health equity and leadership, and for individuals
to apply these assets to their professional development.
2 Increase the number of people of color who are at the
table when decisions or policies are made that impact
health. (The decisions/policies may be broader than
health—e.g., housing—but in some way impact health.)
3 Provide Fellows with the knowledge and skills to change
systems and policies through Fellows’ primary place of
employment, other professional roles, and/or volunteer
activities.

Goal 2: People of color are at the table
• CT Health connects Fellows to projects and professional
opportunities
• CT Health connected Fellows to the State Innovation
Model (SIM) Initiative and now at least three Fellows sit
on the State Innovation Model Consumer Advisory Board
or workgroups
• Through the Program and CT Health, several Fellows
mentioned working with or volunteering with the CT
Multicultural Health Partnership and/or Health Justice CT
• More recently, some Fellows noted being involved in the
outreach and the roll-out of the open enrollment process
for health insurance through Access Health CT

14. Evaluation QuestionsFindings
Goal 3: Systems and policy change
• This goal has not been met.
• There are a few promising but early results, but there has
not been a big, noticeable win with a major system or
policy that improves health equity at scale.
• Advocacy, policy, and systems change was discussed by
Fellows who were interviewed, but was significantly less
prevalent than other types of work in support of health
equity.
14
15. Evaluation QuestionsFindings
Goal 3: Systems and policy change
Examples of Fellows’ efforts in this area:
• Removing barriers to healthcare services or health care
information for underserved populations, including
language barriers and housing;
• Influencing health insurance policies to provide expanded
or improved coverage, for example, to HIV+ individuals
and other underserved populations;
• Engaging in legislative advocacy on public health topics,
in support of aging populations to be able to age in place,
and for health equity in business practices; and
• Advocating for healthcare reform
15
16. Evaluation QuestionsFindings
Program/Network Design & Strategy
• The Program and Network is in need of additional design and
strategy to match its current maturity and future ambitions.
• CT Health has already started down this path, but more
infrastructure and purposeful cultivation is necessary now that the
Strategy has matured from an experiment to a core Foundation
investment and a Network of nearly 200 health equity leaders.
• There are five areas that the Foundation (and Fellows) could
strengthen so that the Network can better impact health equity:
1)Shared vision for health equity impact 2) Communication,
3) Ongoing professional development and capacity building, 4)
Structure of Fellows Network, and 5) Fellows tracking.
16
17. Evaluation QuestionsFindings
Strategic Alignment
• The Health Leadership Fellows Program is most robust as the
incubator program—not a Fellows Network—though the longer-
term ambitions of the Fellows Network yield more promise to
Fellows and CT Health.
• The Fellows Network has not been effectively engaged to have
long-term impact.
• The Fellows Network and the Foundation’s hopes for the Network
have grown organically over the years, and expectations for the
Network are much higher now than ten years ago.
17
18. Evaluation QuestionsFindings
Program Reputation and Visibility
• The Program is regarded well by those who know of it—but the
reputation and visibility of the Program could be improved within
Connecticut.
• There are still many people in important health-focused positions
and related fields that do not know about the Program, understand
the importance of being a Fellow, or know to draw on the Program
or Fellows as resources.
• The visibility of the Program is strongest in the Hartford and New
Haven areas.
• The reputation of the Fellowship is tied to the positive, visible
reputation of the Foundation. The stand-alone reputation of the
Fellowship is less well known than CT Health.
18
19. Evaluation QuestionsRecommendations
1. Clarify the contribution of the Program to
the Foundation’s strategic plan
19
2. Strengthen the “incubator” program
3. Strategize on how to increase active
engagement from Fellows Network.
20. 1. Assess the Situation: The evaluation report will deliver the
necessary information to assess the outcome and functioning of
HFLP and the Fellows Network.
2. Identify Range of Options: The recommendations from the
report and recommendations from CT Health staff will present CT
Health with a range of options.
3. Refine & Select Top Options: CT Health staff will refine the list of
recommendations to select those that will best contribute to a
strengthened Health Leadership Fellows Program to align with
the Foundation’s priorities.
4. Plan & Implement: CT Health staff will plan and implement new
designs and strategies into the Health Leadership Fellows
Program.

Editor's Notes
The purpose of this evaluation project was to evaluate the first ten years of CT Health’s Health Leadership Fellows Program so that CT Health can develop a program that will continue to further the Foundation’s mission in the current transformative health reform environment.
The evaluation focused on documenting the changes that CT Health and the Health Leadership Fellows Program (HLFP) brought about in the past ten years,
and collecting feedback from a variety of sources to serve as a starting point for CT Health to work from as they lead a process to further develop the program.
Additionally:
Innovation Network’s past knowledge: we have been the evaluation partner to CT Health generally for the last few years, as well as we have evaluated the last few HLFP classes (midterm and end-of-term)
We reviewed the 5 year evaluation of the Health Leadership Fellows Program
Program documentation, e.g., curriculum plans
We drew on the CT Health database as possible

[word cloud of the HE definitions given by Fellows in interviews]
The definition of health equity that most Fellows were using was along the lines of “Health equity is having equal access to fair and affordable health care services across different populations, and ensuring all people, regardless of their social, ethnic, racial or economic background, have fair health outcomes. “
When fellows mentioned “equal access to health care services”, they referred to not just primary care or physician services, but also equal access to mental health care services, behavioral health care services, and social services. That no matter what type of health services it is, there should be a fair and equal access to it by everyone.
Fellows placed a heavy racial and economic justice lens to their definitions of health equity.
And a great quote from a Fellow: “Health equity is the ability to enjoy the best health opportunities for themselves in terms of outcomes, treatment, access that they can possibly have. That will be equal across socio, economic, racial, and educational lines.”
Third goal added later
[present content on slide, and:]
In addition to these specific actions, Fellows also discussed a more general orientation to incorporating a health equity lens into how they see the world, their professions, and conversations they engage in professionally and personally.
More than one Fellow expressed that health equity was not in their formal job description or role, but that he/she is able to be a “friendly reminder” or raise questions to address health equity in meetings or decisions.
Through the Program, CT Health has supported the development of 194 individuals—most of whom live and work in Connecticut—to have the language and concepts to advance health equity in small but powerful ways on a daily basis.
Fellows of color have demonstrated a wide variety of professional, personal, and volunteer activity in support of health equity. From interview data, 22 Fellows of color were identified as holding 40 professional, personal, and/or volunteer roles that in some way can be leveraged to impact health equity across 11 types of organizations.
Fellows of color were also working with Coverage providers, Hospitals, Philanthropy, Other service providers, and Community based organizations
1. Communication: There is a need for more frequent communication among the Foundation and the Fellows generally about health equity information and opportunities in the field.
2. Ongoing professional development and capacity building: Fellows would be better positioned to be allies in the fight for systems change if they continue to grow as leaders and develop their skills after the incubator program.
3. Shared vision for health equity impact: It’s clear that the Foundation and Fellows share the same long-term vision for health equity in Connecticut, but the Foundation and the Fellows actions could be better aligned if there was a purposeful conversation between the Foundation and Fellows regarding roles, opportunities, and intended impacts.
4. Structure of Fellows Network: The Fellows Network has grown organically over the past ten years and has reached a size where Fellows would benefit from more structure and organization among themselves for improved communication and an increased ability to be coordinated in their actions.
5. Fellows tracking: The Foundation would benefit from a fully fleshed out database of Fellows, their interests, their professional roles, and their health-equity related skills and competencies.
