Pediatric Value-Based Care Models

August 11, 2020 by Daniella Gratale

Disclaimer: Moving Health Care Upstream is a collaborative effort originally co-led by Nemours Children’s Health System (Nemours) and the Center for Healthier Children, Families & Communities at the University of California- Los Angeles (UCLA). The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Nemours, UCLA or the Moving Health Care Upstream initiative.


Nemours Children’s Health System and the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy are pleased to announce the release of a posting on the Health Affairs blog and two joint issue briefs that provide recommendations to accelerate pediatric value-based payment (VBP) and integrated care models that address social drivers and promote health equity. Both briefs, along with an accompanying executive summary, draw from an expert convening made possible with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, as well as a two-year Collaborative. Though the recommendations were initially drafted prior to the pandemic, the enormous strain that COVID-19 has placed on families and communities makes the recommendations particularly timely. The disparities that existed at baseline in our health and social service systems for children are intensified as both systems are stretched to their capacity, thereby creating a more urgent need to address the needs of children and families.

“Addressing Social Drivers through Pediatric Value-based Care Models: Emerging Examples and Promising Approaches” offers bright spots that showcase examples of states and communities that are beginning to pursue integrated, value-based pediatric models that address social drivers.

“Addressing Social Drivers through Pediatric Value-based Care Models: Recommendations for Policymakers and Key Stakeholders” builds upon the first brief, highlighting accelerators, barriers, and policy and practice recommendations to promote transformative value-based care for children, including addressing social drivers and promoting health equity.

We encourage you to distribute these resources widely and to share them on social media.

New Issue Brief – Lived Experience: The Practice of Engagement in Policy

April 23, 2020 by Guest Author

Disclaimer: Moving Health Care Upstream is a collaborative effort originally co-led by Nemours Children’s Health System (Nemours) and the Center for Healthier Children, Families & Communities at the University of California- Los Angeles (UCLA).

During trying times like these, the need for systems change to improve health and well-being outcomes for young children and their families becomes all the more apparent. Effective approaches to systems change often involve cross-sector collaboration, collective impact, or other integrative approaches in order to realize the real change that will improve and increase access to high-quality services for children and families. These approaches must be informed by the very communities whose lives are impacted by our proposed solutions.

To support states and communities in their endeavors for policy and systems change, Nemours is pleased to announce the release of a new issue brief highlighting the value of lived experience and the importance of integrating community voice into systems change work. The brief shares the promising community engagement practices and approaches of state and community leaders in California, Florida, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Washington and provides recommendations for stakeholders to accelerate this work.

Health Care’s Role in Multi-Sector Networks for Population Health

March 18, 2020 by Bilal Taylor

Disclaimer: Moving Health Care Upstream is a collaborative effort originally co-led by Nemours Children’s Health System (Nemours) and the Center for Healthier Children, Families & Communities at the University of California- Los Angeles (UCLA). The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Nemours, UCLA or the Moving Health Care Upstream initiative.


In Fall 2019, with support from The Kresge Foundation, Nemours Children’s Health System launched a two-year project exploring how health care organizations acting as integrators can join, catalyze and sustain cross-sector networks working on shared population health goals.

Since launch, we have shared periodic updates. (See blog posts from May 2019 and February 2020).

In this update, we’re pleased to announce the release of an issue brief- “Preliminary Findings on the Role of Health Care in Multi-Sector Networks for Population Health: Notes from the Field.”

The issue brief flows from the first wave of work within the two-year project: Beginning in early 2019, we scanned the literature and conducted formal interviews with 40 national experts (representing 30 organizations) who have insights related to integrative roles and functions within multi-sector population health networks, as well as the ways health care is involved in carrying out these roles and functions in support of networks’ shared goals. The themes from the interviews and literature scan are captured in the brief, presented as:

New Nemours Brief: Using Pay for Success Financing to Improve Maternal and Infant Outcomes in Medicaid

February 25, 2020 by Janet Viveiros

Disclaimer: Moving Health Care Upstream is a collaborative effort originally co-led by Nemours Children’s Health System (Nemours) and the Center for Healthier Children, Families & Communities at the University of California- Los Angeles (UCLA). The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Nemours, UCLA or the Moving Health Care Upstream initiative.


Nemours is excited to release its new “Washington State’s Effort to Improve Maternal and Infant Outcomes in Medicaid Using Pay for Success Financing” brief.

The Washington Health Care Authority, the agency that oversees the state’s Medicaid program, has been exploring using pay for success financing, an impact investment strategy, to make a decision about whether to expand services in Medicaid that would improve maternal and infant outcomes. This case study highlights the key accelerators and barriers that Washington has confronted as it determines whether it should move forward with pay for success financing to pilot and determine the return on investment of group prenatal care services for its Medicaid recipients.

Announcing Networks Selected for Nemours’ 2020 Integrator Learning Lab

The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Nemours, UCLA or the Moving Health Care Upstream initiative.


Nemours Children’s Health System has selected nine communities from around the country to participate in our 2020 Integrator Learning Lab. The Integrator Learning Lab is one piece of a larger initiative supported by The Kresge Foundation: Exploring the Roles & Functions of Health Systems within Population Health Integrator Networks.

Learning Labs are a 6 month technical assistance model in which multi-sector teams (including health care organizations) working on shared population health goals have an opportunity to receive self-directed resources, coaching, and technical assistance on issues presenting challenges to their team.

The 2020 Integrator Learning Lab will focus on strengthening use of integrative roles and functions within cross-sector networks, in order to accelerate work toward the shared population health goals of the network.
