Building a Culture of Health Robin Mockenhaupt, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Tuesday, 10 June 2014
“The culture of a nation resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
Today’s discussion • RWJF’s Vision of Building a Culture of Health • Early Childhood Programming • Lessons from Planning and Quality Improvement • Why US Funders are Interested in Quality Improvement
We, as a nation, will strive together to create a culture of health enabling all in our diverse society to lead healthy lives, now and for generations to come.
We plan to measure… • Social cohesion and attitudes towards health • Multi-sector collaboration to improve the social determinants of health • Improved and equitable opportunity for healthy choices and environments • Improved quality, efficiency, and equity of health and health care systems
Recommendation: Make investing in America’s youngest children a high priority • Create stronger quality standards, link funding to quality, and guarantee access: fund enrollment for all low-income children under age 5 (2025 goal). • Help parents who struggle to provide healthy, nurturing experiences for their children. • Invest in research and innovation.
RWJF’s Current Work • National Summit on Adverse Childhood Experiences • Early Childhood Obesity Prevention
RWJF and IHI Working Together • Pursuing Perfection • Improving Chronic Illness Care • Improving the Science of Continual Quality Improvement
Quality Improvement Lessons • The voice of the child/individual/community must be central • The importance and hard work of collaboration shouldn’t be underestimated • Change is possible, especially with enthusiastic leadership and membership • Partner with teams who have expertise that is complementary to your own for achieving larger goals.
Quality Improvement Lessons • Consistent data collection, assessment and reporting is vital • Use data to drive decision-making • Participation is part of ongoing quality improvement that should not end with the program • Making QI part of how work is done – that doesn’t end with the program
Why Is a Funder interested in QI? • Learn what is effective and what has impact • Improves processes (including our own) • Uses inputs - data - to drive decision-making • Become part of a team working on a problem together • Changes the nature of what success is – does the collaboration work? • Cedes the power dynamic to social action
FOUR CONVICTIONS • We must: • Take bold steps • Walk many roads • Go forward together • Expect course changes –and learn
