Professions & Population Health: Next Gen Education
This document summarizes a presentation on improving population health through cross-sector collaboration between professions, schools, and community organizations. It discusses four trends driving this approach: 1) population health requires understanding across sectors and a "health in all policies" strategy, 2) health care is transforming to reward population health improvement, 3) public health needs innovative cross-sector partnerships, and 4) the workforce needs new skills in public health and population health concepts. The presentation promotes a health and wellness approach across all policies to achieve health equity and lists content domains like systems thinking, population health measurement, and strategies for training on these topics.

Leininger nashp
This document discusses prospectively identifying Medicaid-eligible adults who have high health care needs. It summarizes a study that tested whether self-reported health measures could serve as an alternative to claims data for predicting high-need individuals. The study found that measures of prior health care utilization, self-reported conditions, and health-related quality of life were predictive of outcomes like inpatient visits and high costs. It concludes that Medicaid agencies can use simple self-reported information to identify members for care coordination programs, without needing proprietary algorithms or claims histories.

The American Medical Association (AMA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have launched an initiative called "Prevent Diabetes STAT" to reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes. Over 86 million Americans have prediabetes, but less than 10% know they are at risk. This new initiative will expand screening and refer more people to diabetes prevention programs. It provides tools for doctors to screen and refer patients to local programs. The goal is to help people make lifestyle changes to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes through increased physical activity and healthy eating.Policy & funding issues in rural health

An expert on public health, Oscar Alleyne, spoke to over 80 students and faculty at the University about responding to the Zika virus from an epidemiologist's perspective. Alleyne stressed the importance of communication among public health officials to effectively combat diseases like Zika. He discussed how poor communication and leadership have made it difficult to respond to Zika, and that local health departments need more funding, personnel, and training in skills like leadership and media relations to handle disease epidemics. A professor said it was helpful for students to see how classroom theories can apply to real-world public health issues.

Medical homes 2010
This document discusses integrating behavioral health into patient-centered medical homes. It notes that the Affordable Care Act established a medical home pilot program that allows states to enroll Medicaid beneficiaries with chronic conditions, including mental illness and substance use disorders, into medical homes beginning in 2011. States that apply and receive approval will receive a 90% federal match for medical home services provided to beneficiaries through the pilot program. The patient-centered medical home model emphasizes care structured around each patient's needs, so behavioral health must be included to fully address a patient's health. Examples of initiatives integrating behavioral health and primary care are provided from several states.

Access to Health Care and Andersen Model
The document discusses the Andersen Model of health care access. The model conceptualizes access as being determined by population characteristics (contextual and individual factors) that predispose people to use services or enable/impede their use. These include demographic, social, health beliefs, and enabling resources factors. The model also considers people's need (perceived and evaluated by professionals) and how this influences health behaviors and outcomes. It provides a framework for examining equitable access to care based on need rather than social characteristics or enabling resources.

2013 community health workers nej mp1305636
This document discusses the potential for community health workers (CHWs) to improve health outcomes and reduce costs in the United States. It makes three key points:
1) CHWs have been shown to be effective in improving health in multiple areas like maternal/child health and chronic disease management in other countries. Expanding CHWs in the US could improve health and create new jobs.
2) There are three models for organizing CHWs in the US - as extensions of hospitals, through community non-profits, or through dedicated management organizations. More research is needed but CHW programs have shown potential to reduce costs for Medicaid/Medicare patients.
3) Policy changes like developing the evidence base on CH

Northwestern-OMH press release 8.11.16B
- 1. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: August 4, 2016 U.S. DHHS Office of Minority Health awards Northwestern University $375,000 in federal funding to support re-entry programs Today, the Office of Minority Health (OMH) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced Northwestern University among the seven organizations to receive federal grant funding under a new grant program, the Re-Entry Community Linkages (RE-LINK) Program. Northwestern University, (Doreen Salina, Ph.D., Principal Investigator), will receive $375,000 for Year One to support efforts to improve the health outcomes for minority and/or disadvantaged re-entrants, ages 18-26, in transition from jail to their communities. This is a five year initiative. Through this program, entitled “Rethink & Relink Chicago!”, Northwestern University and Dr. Salina have formed a collaboration with Heartland Human Care Services (HHCS). They will work to connect the re-entry population to community-based organizations that provide links to health care, including behavioral health care services, health care coverage, and social services such as housing, adult education, and employment assistance programs. “Northwestern University is an important partner in working with the HHS Office of Minority Health to address the barriers to obtaining services that improve the health outcomes for minority and disadvantaged young adults in transition from jail to their communities,” said Dr. J. Nadine Gracia, deputy assistant secretary for minority health and director of the HHS Office of Minority Health. Grantee projects will demonstrate the effectiveness of multiple stakeholders within the public health system working together to implement a model transition process for the formerly incarcerated. The goals of the RE-LINK program are to improve coordination among the criminal justice, public health, social service and private sectors to address health care access for the re-entry population; reduce health disparities experienced by this population; increase access to needed public health, behavioral health, and social services; and reduce recidivism. The total funding awarded for the RE-LINK program is approximately $2.4 million for Year One. For more information on “Rethink & ReLink Chicago!” contact Dr. Salina at d-salina@northwestern.edu For additional information on the HHS Office of Minority Health, visit www.minorityhealth.hhs.gov.
