Aligning Delivery & Financing Systems To Advance A Culture Of Health, Glen P. Mays
Aligning Delivery & Financing Systems To Advance A Culture Of Health, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Systems for Action Research Program supports research on how best to organize, finance, and deliver the constellation of services and supports that promote health and well-being in American communities, including but extending beyond the medical care and public health sectors. This session describes work underway through the S4A program and future research priorities, building on a strong scientific foundation in the fields of health services research (HSR) and public health services & systems research (PHSSR).
Using Network Analysis To Understand Public Health Delivery Systems & Community Health Initiatives, Glen P. Mays
Using Network Analysis To Understand Public Health Delivery Systems & Community Health Initiatives, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
The increasingly connected world of health care delivery relies on an expanding frontier of multi-stakeholder structures and processes, from interdisciplinary patient-centered care teams, to virtual accountable care organizations (ACOs), to complex community-level interventions. This session highlights recent advances in applying social network analysis (SNA) methods to study the implementation and impact of these types of innovations. This methods workshop examines the benefits and limits of novel SNA applications based on the expanding availability of large, linkable electronic clinical and administrative data sources with dependent data structures. This paper profiles examples of using SNA principles and methods to study the implementation …
Cost Estimation In Public Health Services & Systems Research, Glen P. Mays
Cost Estimation In Public Health Services & Systems Research, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
Considerable uncertainty persists about the resources required to implement public health programs and policies, and about the factors that drive variation in resource needs and utilization across community and institutional settings. This paper reviews several alternative approaches to cost estimation that we have used in the field of public health services & systems research (PHSSR). This review was prepared for an expert panel meeting convened as part of a study commissioned by the U.S. Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) to estimate the costs associated with public health emergency preparedness capabilities.
The Economics Of Implementing Population Health Strategies: Progress In Public Health Services & Systems Research, Glen P. Mays
The Economics Of Implementing Population Health Strategies: Progress In Public Health Services & Systems Research, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
Successful strategies to scale up and spread complex community-level interventions require an understanding of the resources required for implementation, how best to distribute them among supporting institutions, and how resource consumption and distribution varies across settings. This session reviews methods and early findings from the RWJF’s Public Health Delivery and Cost Studies (DACS) Initiative, which includes 12 inter-related studies examining the causes and consequences of variation in the costs of delivering complex community-level prevention strategies across more than 300 community settings in 12 states. Findings from these studies highlight the value of studying the economics of implementation, the measurement and …
