Sharing Resources Across Jurisdictions: A Roadmap to Success Gianfranco Pezzino Co-DirectorAugust 19, 2014
Center for Sharing Public Health Services • DOB: May 2012 • National initiative • Managed by the Kansas Health Institute • Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation • Goal: • Explore, inform, track and disseminate learning about shared approaches to delivering public health services
Our Audience • Public Health Officials • ASTHO • NACCHO • NALBOH • CDC • Policymakers • ICMA • NACo • USCM • NGA • NCSL • Learning community • 16 local projects • Both groups will • Learn • Share • Explore
Shared Services Learning Community 16 sites 14 states 2-year grants (2013-2014)
Definitions • Cross-jurisdictional sharing is the deliberate exercise of public authority to enable collaboration across jurisdictional boundaries to deliver essential public health services. • Collaboration means working across boundaries and in multi-organizational arrangements to solve problems that cannot be solved – or easily solved – by single organizations or jurisdictions.* *Source: Rosemary O’Leary, School of Public Affairs and Administration, University of Kansas
Two Critical Questions • Who makes the decision to enter a CJS arrangement? • What are the drivers behind deciding to engage in CJS?
Drivers National Public Health Standards Emergency Preparedness CJS Agreements Increasing burden of chronic disease Lean fiscal environments Health care reform
Balancing the Options Greater efficiency Enhanced capacity
Key Points: CJS, QI, Accreditation • QI and PM tools can support successful CJS efforts • CJS can provide QI and PM documentation for accreditation • CJS may increase accreditation readiness • Some jurisdictions can achieve standards jointly, but not independently • Working jointly on accreditation may strengthen the coalition of sharing jurisdictions
Cross-Jurisdictional Sharing Spectrum Shared Functions with Joint Oversight Service Related Arrangement Informal and Customary Arrangements Regionalization • “Handshake” • MOU • Information sharing • Equipment sharing • Coordination • Service provision agreements • Mutual aid agreements • Purchase of staff time • Joint projects addressing all jurisdictions involved • Shared capacity • Inter-local agreements • New entity formed by merging existing LHDs • Consolidation of 1 or more LHD into existing LHD
Is There a Good Path? • A roadmap to develop cross-jurisdictional sharing (CJS) initiatives • Developed by the CSPHS • Based on what we have learned from demonstration sites (and other published material) • See handout • Also available at: http://www.phsharing.org/roadmap/
Phase 1: Explore Is CJS a feasible approach to address the issue you are facing? Who should be involved in this effort? Phase 2: Prepare and Plan How exactly would it work? Phase 3: Implement and Improve Let’s do it!

Let’s Bring The Learning Home • KHI wants the learning from this project to benefit KS • The Center is literally round the corner from you! • Use its tools and expertise as needed • Reach out to us with questions
Is There Sharing in Kansas? • Service sharing on program-by-program basis is long standing feature • Preparedness regions
Planned initiatives • Survey to assess extent of shared services • Identify some model projects in KS • Develop in-depth case studies • Make small start-up grants available
Many questions remain: • Is this model applicable to CJS involving: • States? • Tribes? • System-wide changes? • What are fiscal implications? • Cost of sharing services • Apportionment • Is there a taxonomy that can be developed? • What are the long-term effects of CJS? • How do we measure success?
