Nemours Children’s Health System Reflects on the Journey from Volume to Value

In health care and in life, we need to match incentives and expectations. When I was younger, one of my chores was to help empty the dishwasher – I was responsible for the bottom and my sister for the top. The chore was not complete – and the allowance was not received – until both of us completed our parts. It was actually pretty ingenious on my parents’ part; I learned it is not only important to complete my key function of emptying the bottom rack, but also that it made sense to support my sister in completing her key function because it led to a better outcome for both of us.

Medicaid Prevention Pathways: A New Toolkit Developed By Nemours

Nemours is excited to release a new toolkit titled “Medicaid Prevention Pathways”—developed with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation—for state Medicaid officials and managed care organizations (MCOs) with Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) enrollees. One of the key tools is a Roadmap that illustrates the range of Medicaid and CHIP options that states can use to sustain approaches that link traditional clinical preventive care with community-based initiatives (“clinic to community”) to address chronic disease, and how best to successfully put these strategies in place on the ground. The Roadmap demonstrates through examples how states have extensive flexibility under current law to finance these strategies through Medicaid and CHIP for preventing chronic disease, including childhood obesity, at both the individual and population levels.

Who should you partner with to create lasting change through resilience in your community? The Building Community Resilience (BCR) initiative aims to address, prevent, and reduce the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and adverse community environments (ACEs) on children’s health and wellbeing (The “Pair of ACEs”). An essential element of the successes of BCR’s five test sites around the country has been strategic collaborations. In your work to build resilience, identifying and pooling resources with the right partners will help advance your goals. The Pair of ACEs Tree image can help you describe the issues and opportunities to potential partners. And the BCR Coalition Building and Communications Guide and webinar offer practical approaches to communicating your visions for community resilience and in creating a shared understanding with partners.

In every city, in every community and on every block, an American family struggles with adversity. That’s the thing about adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)—they have no boundaries. ACEs transcend race, class, religion, and economic status. They include experiences ranging from extreme poverty or family problems, to experiencing violence, abuse, and discrimination. While the prevalence of ACEs across all demographics are a fact, using hard data to demonstrate the impact in your community strengthens the case for action. In Building Community Resilience (BCR), we know that stories matter as does using the data to demonstrate real needs and opportunities for change. [Read more…]

Today the @CDCgov declared racism a public health threat. I applaud @CDCDirector Walensky for taking this stand. Systemic racism threatens our children and our future. This nation has the resources to combat this threat and must summon the will to do so. #HealthEquity #SDOH
