The document outlines several learning and evaluation activities for BUILD Health Challenge participants: 1. A mid-point survey led by Spark Policy Institute that will gather anonymous feedback from core organizational partners to inform support services and future iterations of the BUILD program. 2. A Hospital Engagement Project led by Mendez Group that will interview hospital partners to understand motivations for collaboration and approaches to social determinants of health. 3. Ongoing BUILD case studies led by Mendez Group that will document collaboration processes through bi-monthly interviews with core partners and highlight best practices in multi-sector partnerships.

The midyear survey is part of the developmental evaluation process, focused on surfacing

support services that are part of the BUILD approach.
Participation will be requested from the three core organizational partners - the non-profit
lead, public health, and the health systems partner - to increase the perspectives and value
of the information generated.
Participation from sites is required and answers will be anonymous.
Detailed analysis of
survey data will inform:
• the development of
Learning Sessions
• current operations of
BUILD

future iterations of
BUILD

Hospital Engagement
Project
Project Lead:
Dara Mendez
Mendez Group
The Hospital Engagement Project is designed to achieve two distinct goals:
• Explore hospital and health system motivation for partnering in the BUILD Health
Challenge
• Examine the definitions and approaches to addressing the social determinants of
health, population health, and health equity most commonly used by hospitals and
health systems
Data from the mid-year survey will inform this project. Additional participation will be
requested from the hospital or health system partner organization. Additional references for
interviews within the health system may be requested.
Participation is voluntary but strongly encouraged.
Key insights on health
system engagement to
be published in a peer-
reviewed journal and
other relevant channels.
A one-hour
interview with the
primary
hospital/health
system partner on
the BUILD project
team.
A one-hour
interview with an
additional contact
at the
hospital/health
system partner
(preferably the
hospital/health
system CEO).
BUILD Case Studies The purpose of the BUILD case studies is to document how you and your partners worked
together over the course of the funding period. These case studies will document the “how”
of BUILD; this could include topics such as how your collaboration:
• collectively addressed the social determinants of health
• collaborated to address a particular upstream issue
(Continued on the next page)
Case studies will be
profiled on
buildhealthchallenge.org,
as well as featured in a
series of papers aimed
at documenting best
practices in multi-sector
collaboration.
Interviews will be
conducted with
each of the three
core partners
every other month.
Interviews will take
one hour.
