The internship aimed to create a centralized website for sharing health information and resources between community partners in Central Jersey. The website would provide a method of communication around the Middlesex and Somerset County Community Health Improvement Plan. The intern reviewed documents, contacted community partners to collect data, and established a relationship with Rutgers University Imaginate to develop a marketing campaign and website design. It is anticipated that once launched, the website will serve as an information hub that is frequently accessed by health organizations and the public to stay updated on programs and services. The consortium will evaluate efforts to proceed with development and assess the website's impact by tracking usage and increased participation in partner programs.

This perennial favorite breakout session is back! This is the best opportunity to meet some of the federal government data experts who champion action in improving public access to information to catalyze innovation. Come learn how to use assets from the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), the Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and more. Each agency in the federal government is staffed by experts who are well versed in the information resources available from their division on data.gov (administrative data, survey data, research data, medical/scientific content, etc.) The Datalab will also feature opportunities for one-on-one meet-ups with data experts for “deep dives” into agency’s resources. Participants can join live demonstrations and check out new data resources and tools. The goal of the session is to give innovators and entrepreneurs an overview of new, updated, and emerging datasets that can be used to support new applications and services.
PCG Public Partnerships Case Study, TennCare CHOICES Program
Tennessee's TennCare program implemented a new long-term care program called CHOICES that included participant direction as an option for home and community-based care. TennCare contracted with PCG Public Partnerships (PPL) to provide financial administration and supports brokerage services for the participant direction program. PPL worked closely with TennCare for over a year prior to launch to develop policies and procedures. Since the program launched in 2010, over 1,000 individuals have been referred and about 360 are actively receiving services through participant direction. PPL handles on average 1,300 calls and over 300 employees per month to support consumer-directed services.

Promoting Methods for Using HIV/AIDS and Health Information for Decision Making
This document summarizes a project in Nigeria that aimed to promote better use of health information and data for decision-making. The project provided training and coaching to strengthen knowledge and capacity around monitoring and evaluation systems. It also helped address challenges like limited resources and uncoordinated data collection between partners. As a result, several government health agencies established new monitoring and evaluation units, and data use led to increased funding and improved services at local levels. Moving forward, the project seeks to further develop joint capacity building and promote sustainable national and state ownership of health information systems.
An overview of the NHSScotland LINKS project - LTCAS Annual Conference 22-03-...
The "LINKS" project aimed to maximize relationships between general practitioner surgeries and community resources in local areas. The project found that approximately 20% of GP or nurse consultations required signposting patients to community resources, with 70-80% of those recommendations being accepted. All participating practices became more aware of support resources and interested in using them. However, sustaining the directories of resources requires ongoing time and effort. Strengthening these links in the future could involve providing education to practice staff or link workers across larger areas.
MamaNurse civic innovation model canvas
Improving maternal and Child Healthcare using MamaNurse® Innovative Collaborative, Community-Based Approach, creating public Healthcare Leaders & Equitable System Based on Intersection of People, Policy, Process & Strategy.
In Nigeria, the government is implementing the Free Maternal and Child Health Care Programme (FMCHCP). The policy is premised on the notion that financial barriers are one of the most important constraints to equitable access and use of skilled maternal and child healthcare. In Ebonyi State, Southeastern Nigeria the FMCHCP is experiencing implementation challenges including: inadequate human resource for health, inadequate funding, out of stock syndrome, inadequate infrastructure, and poor staff remuneration. Furthermore, there is less emphasis on community involvement in the programme implementation. In this policy brief, we recommend policy options that emphasize the implementation of community-based participatory interventions to strengthen the government’s FMCHCP as follows: Option 1: Training community women on prenatal care, life-saving skills in case of emergency, reproductive health, care of the newborn and family planning. Option 2: Sensitizing the community women towards behavioural change, to understand what quality services that respond to their needs are but also to seek and demand for such. Option 3: Implementation packages that provide technical skills to women of childbearing age as well as mothers’ groups, and traditional birth attendants for better home-based maternal and child healthcare. The effectiveness of this approach has been demonstrated in a number of community-based participatory interventions, building on the idea that if community members take part in decision-making and bring local knowledge, experiences and problems to the fore, they are more likely to own and sustain solutions to improve their communities’ health.

Public Health - Lloyd Michener
The integration of primary care and public health can help improve population health outcomes. Successful programs have strong partnerships between medical organizations, public health departments, and community groups. They focus on preventing health issues like obesity and asthma through community-wide efforts such as health education and improving housing conditions. Data is used to identify health priorities and measure the impact of interventions on outcomes like emergency room visits and costs. Government agencies are recognizing the importance of this approach through new payment models that support coordinated care.

Substance Abuse Jackson, Michigan
The Community Health Assessment provides an overview of community health issues in Jackson County, Oregon based on a review of data from 2013. It finds that while Jackson County saw population growth from 2002-2008, it experienced an outmigration of younger residents from 2008-2010 due to job losses. At the same time, the elderly population increased, with 18.8% of residents over 65 years old in 2012. The assessment identifies chronic diseases, mental health, addictions, and access to care as key health issues. It incorporates input from community focus groups and interviews to understand resident perspectives on local health priorities and strengths of the healthcare system.
Social Accountability for Improved Community Health Otchere
WorldVision uses a social accountability approach called CitizenVoice and Action in 324 health programs across 500 clinics. This approach has been studied in partnerships with universities. The Community Score Card can measure the quality of health services and community access to and use of services. Studies show it reduced child mortality by 33% and increased facility births by 58% in one area. In India, reviving auxiliary nurse-midwife subcenters using the score card and social accountability increased services provided and access to family planning and maternal and child health services. More evidence is still needed but research shows social accountability and community score cards can improve health services and empower communities.

Chatham County Social Marketing Plan
A group of UNC students conducted a needs assessment in Chatham County, North Carolina and found that many residents were unaware of local health services or stigmatized existing services, leading them to seek care outside the county or forgo it entirely. To address this, the students designed a social marketing campaign to increase awareness of and decrease stigma around Chatham County health services among residents and providers. The campaign involves creating and distributing informational graphics and a provider directory website to educate both groups. It will be evaluated through provider surveys assessing changes in referrals to local services over the six-month pilot period.

FINAL Internship Abstract
- 1. Internship Abstract Title: Establishing an Online Platform for Cross-Sharing of Health Information and Resources in Central Jersey Name: Ewelina Gwiszcz Preceptors: Direct Supervisor: Marge Drozd, Director of Community Mobile Health Services of Saint Peter’s University Hospital Project Supervisor: Zachary Taylor, MEd, CHES, Coordinator of the Community Health Consortium for Central Jersey Project Supervisor: Tara Gunthner, BSN Agency: Saint Peter’s University Hospital’s Community Mobile Health Services Purpose: To create a sustainable web-based system that ensures a method of communication between community health partners on health issues pertaining to the Middlesex and Somerset* Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). *Refers to the Southeast Section of Somerset County Significance: Creation of a centralized website would provide a system of information sharing among community health partners and members of the general public who are in the Middlesex County and the southeast section of Somerset county catchment area. Accumulation and condensation of this information would provide a simple and accessible way to connect to organizations as well as the services, information, and events they provide. Methods/Approach: Multiple preparation steps were carried out in anticipation of the consortium’s future website launch. Government and hospital documents containing the main content for the website were reviewed and separated into manageable fragments for ensured understanding by the public. Community health partners recognized as an asset to the goals of the CHIP were contacted for data collection efforts and new relationships were established during this process. A relationship with the Rutgers University Imaginate was established to develop a marketing campaign for both a website name and logo. Additionally, a budget outlining the costs of creating and maintaining the website was created. Anticipated Results/Outcomes: It is anticipated that once launched, the website will be a frequently used information hub that can be accessed by health organizations and the public. Updates will be performed on a monthly basis to keep information current and aligned with the goals of the CHIP. Evaluation: The consortium will evaluate efforts and come to a decision on how to proceed with the development of the website. Once online, effects of the website will be evaluated by tracking the number of unique monthly page hits it receives. Increased participation in available programs due to website participation will also be assessed through collaboration with the community partners.
