King County “Transformation Plan” Increase equity in health and well-being for King County residents. Improve outcomes in communities with the most to gain Improve outcomes for adults with complex conditions (high risk, high cost) Results here ↑ stops pipeline of people here ↑
The Integration Initiative • Results – achieve large-scale results through system change (not pilots) • Collective impact - cross-sector table to stimulate system change, hold each other accountable • Capital innovation – including improving government performance and leveraging private investments • Public sector innovation – including overcoming outdated bureaucratic structures and better engaging residents Expectation of a cross-sector table in formation or in place
Government-funded$500,000 Catalyst Fund • A tool to help make this shift happen: • Help remove financial barriers that prohibit organizations from making necessary changes • Jumpstart innovations where startup costs may not otherwise be available. • Not intended to pay for current, ongoing services that groups are providing now, or for services that would need ongoing support in the future • Should leverage other investors
The Challenges • Not what government typically does • Political priorities – holding on to “innovation money” when funding for direct services is being cut • Agreement on how and where to spend the money • Moving at government-speed • How well can we leverage money? • Combine in a single fund?
