The CHNA Opportunity in the ACA • Community health needs assessments (CHNA) are now required every three years of not-for-profit health entities in order to maintain their tax-free status • CHNA and implementation strategy required for each facility
The CHNA Opportunity in the ACA • CHNA: • A description of “community” and how it was determined • A description of process and methods, including data used and information gaps • A description of how input was gathered from those with a broad interest in the community • A prioritized list of community health needs, including how the list was prioritized
The CHNA Opportunity in the ACA • Implementation plan: • Must describe how each health need identified in the CHNA will be met, or • Describe identified needs that will not be met by that hospital and why • Must be approved by a governing body • Collaboration is encouraged

Seeding Innovations in Health A R C H I
How can we work together to solve complex problems in a complex world using technology that helps us see, understand & talk about the real problems and develop sustainable solutions…
THE RIPPEL FOUNDATION Seeding Innovations in Health
THE FANNIE E. RIPPEL FOUNDATION • Founded in 1953 as a charitable foundation • 6 person Board of Directors • Home office Morristown, NJ; satellite location in Cambridge, MA • $85 million in assets; $6.4 million 2014 budget • 30 full and part time staff and long term contractors… and growing • Legal Mandate: Women, Elderly, Cancer, Heart Disease, Hospitals • 2007 Mission: “Seed Innovations in Health” • Primary program and investment: ReThink Health • 75% of total Rippel budget; 95% of program budget • Generated $2.5 million in grants and earned income to date • After 53 years of primarily making grants… • Almost no grants, not operating foundation; work through DCA • Commitment to collaboration with like-minded partners
JULIUS A. RIPPEL, PRESIDENT, 1953 - 1983 1959 – We have long known that health care facilities should be adapted to the patients rather than the opposite. 1967 - To avoid becoming sick may be the greatest health and medical challenge to contemporary society. 1968 - Sooner or later some group will find out how to build, organize and operate a hospital which will be better and more flexible than at present, and at a lower cost. 1968 - The greatest opportunity people have to achieve and maintain good health and well-being, at the lowest possible cost, is by their own intelligent methods of daily living habits. 1969 - We need to develop a health care system which will be recognized as distinct from medical care. This is a real key to solving our “medical problem.” 1969 - We must have substantially new manners of thinking to enable mankind to bridge the gap between the things that have been and the things which will be.

CHALLENGE & PRINCIPLES Action Results ReActing Thinking … work with leaders to demonstrate that sustainable redesign of regional health systems is possible and can improve health, care, costs, equity, ownership, productivity, regional economies, and communities vitality. Better health, better care, lower costs and access for all Collaboration by leaders across boundaries (in and out of health) Whole system thinking Redesign to meet health and care needs National purpose, local action RETHINKING 18
WORK WITH LEADERS & COALITIONS TO… Bring system stakeholders together in a way that builds trust, shared vision, and collaborative action. Build purposeful and effective stewardship teams that can sustain efforts and achieve measurable results over time. Assure that health resources are being spent to achieve the greatest impact. Align community priorities with health system priorities. Finance and sustain efforts long enough to see real results and avoid rebound experiences. Support innovation, implementation, and system redesign in ways that achieve high impact goals and build critical interdependencies. Educate leaders to have a whole system and collaborative perspective. Engage in action-research Develop and share lessons, tools, approaches
SINCE 2007… • Grant funding from the California HealthCare Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation plus increasing earned income • Experience in more than 30 regions across the country • Created and used the Dynamics Model in 50 settings, 9 academic institutions, and thousands of users • Successful distance learning course with 180 participants • Building a learning network and community • Extensive partnerships with motivated leaders, regions and organizations • Strong enterprise wide evaluation process • Impact on regional and national levels

COMMON PITFALLS • Unsustainable program financing • Spreading resources over too many initiatives • Lopsided investments downstream or upstream • Triggering “supply push” responses to declining utilization • Exacerbating capacity bottlenecks • Perpetuating inequity • Neglecting or focusing only on disadvantaged, children, or seniors • Pursuing narrow goals and short-term impacts • Concentrating only on small sub-systems
WHY WE GET CAUGHT…. Hard to see the bigger system and where things/we fit Stakeholders see different problems and solutions Stakeholders speak different languages Don’t recognize that not all solutions are equal – good / bad Real conversations about money, priorities, strategy, etc. are difficult Alignment from the community to policy levels is challenging Pressure for short term results with limited evidence for better planning System is complex and hard to predict
UNSTICKING… Consider Many Pathways Engage in Deeper Dialogue Anticipate Consequences and Plausible Futures
RETHINK HEALTH DYNAMICS MODEL • Realistic yet simplified portrait of a local health system (N=8 to date) • Anchored to evidence from dozens of datasets • A common, testable framework and tool for open, experiential learning • Designed with and for diverse stakeholders • Not a prediction, but a way to see and feel how local health system can change ReThink Health. Summary of the ReThink Health Dynamics model. Available at http://rippelfoundation.org/docs/RTH-Dynamics-Model-Summary.pdf
