This article, written by Dave Pearson, highlights the recent launch of a website by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) focused on explaining the fundamentals of value-based care. This user-friendly website, named the Value-Based Care Spotlight, is designed to educate both healthcare consumers and professionals. Under the direction of CMS Innovation Center Director Liz Fowler, the platform's goal is to improve comprehension of value-based care as a key element in the transformation of healthcare. Value-based care, as explained on the site, involves collaboration among doctors and healthcare providers to oversee an individual's overall health, taking into account their personal health objectives. The term "value" in value-based care refers to what an individual values the most in terms of their health. The website features real-life stories, including those of individuals like Lamont Mitchell from Washington, D.C., who successfully aligned his diabetes management with broader health goals, and Letisha Wadsworth from Brooklyn, N.Y., currently undergoing home dialysis therapy. This initiative aligns with CMS's previous announcement, made 13 months prior, outlining its intention to have all Medicare beneficiaries and a majority of Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in accountable care organizations by 2030.

It’s #NationalDiabetesAwarenessMonth, and today, in recognition that we’re part of a global community, we’re highlighting the work of our grantees seeking to increase access to quality, affordable diabetes care globally. Access to care remains out of reach for many, especially people living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Through the expansion of integrated care models and commercially sustainable medicine markets, we can build a global movement to treat chronic noncommunicable diseases including diabetes. We need to break down disease silos and invest in broadly supportive healthcare systems where everyone can thrive, no matter the diagnosis. https://lnkd.in/eFSz84ad

In today's rapidly evolving world, traditional marcom strategies hardly hold the same relevance. So, I’ve embraced a more impactful approach that involves organically targeting, connecting, and engaging with influencers and advocates -- fostering a growing network of 17,661 followers. Through this collaboration, we share and exchange meaningful real-time content. These are undeniably challenging times, both in Louisiana and across the U.S. As our health, economy, and communities strive to recover and rebound, resilience is key. I am deeply passionate about advocacy and the development of impactful campaigns that aim to improve health and healthcare. This includes efforts to drive membership growth and raise awareness of shared missions, visions, and causes. My skill set encompasses various disciplines, including communications, influencer marketing, public affairs, branding, digital and content marketing, social media management, earned media strategies, health education, and legislative initiatives. I find great satisfaction in integrating these different components to create powerful, cohesive campaigns. Throughout my career, I have orchestrated highly successful marcom strategies for a diverse range of organizations: public, private, and non-profit alike. My work has contributed to the success of start-ups, product launches, turnarounds, crisis management, public offerings, brand re-positioning, organic growth, market share shifts, legislative change, and fundraising efforts. I have also provided integrated marcom strategies that have positively influenced sales in the pharmaceutical and managed care industries. I have had the privilege of working with esteemed employers, clients, and holding board positions with organizations such as the Orleans Parish Medical Society, Special Olympics, Alzheimer’s Association, Humana, Peoples Health, Archdiocese of New Orleans (Catholic Schools, PACE GNO, Catholic Charities), LHC Group, AstraZeneca, West Jefferson Medical Center, JEDCO, Tenet Healthcare, DePaul Community Health Centers, Smoking Cessation Trust, Carilion Clinic, and Ochsner Health. One particularly impactful project involved grass roots marketing, earned media strategies, public and community affairs, and communications initiatives in collaboration with the FMOL Health System. Together, we played an integral role in the start-up and launch of St. Bernard Parish Hospital, which now operates under the leadership of Ochsner. This endeavor brought quality healthcare and peace-of-mind back to a proud community that had been devastated by Katrina. https://lnkd.in/gvVD-Aui
We are so excited to have Jim Pittman as a new member of our board. For 25+ years, Jim has developed and orchestrated marcom strategy for public, private, and non-profit provider and managed care organizations, contributing to two Medicare Advantage start-ups – including the new Ochsner Health Plan (OHP) launched in 2021. Prior his return to OHP, he served as executive director of Orleans Parish Medical Society. Jim continues to help out as an advocate for Louisiana’s Smoking Cessation Trust (since 2014). He also served as a Board Member for the Special Olympics Louisiana (2018-2022). Alzheimer’s Association is close to his heart. He has said, “In Louisiana alone, there are 92,000 people living with Alzheimer’s and 203,000 caregivers. I served as a family caregiver for my mom, and now my cousins do the same for their mother — my godmother. So, I certainly empathize with the immense challenge care givers face and the work the association has to do to work toeliminate Alzheimer’s disease.”

Listen to Trellis president and CEO, @Dawn Simonson, present about the Juniper Community Care Hub at the March 8 Legislative Task Force on Aging. The Juniper Community Care Hub is an innovative way to help older adults and family caregivers in Minnesota receive the services that they need by providing an influx of resources and other support. It uses a framework that is central to how the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Administration for Community Living think about integrating healthcare and social care. According to Simonson: “Minnesota is uniquely positioned to move the hub model to a scale that will have a real impact on the state budget. We're so lucky we have all the ingredients: world-class health systems, thoughtful healthcare payers, innovative government, and a strong network of nonprofit organizations spread throughout our state and supported by one of the country's best philanthropic and volunteer environments. It's time to leverage these important assets.” @trellisconnects https://buff.ly/48LKRZH

Last week The King's Fund published a new report on shifting NHS care away from hospitals and closer to people's homes. Louise Ansari our Chief Executive welcomes their calls for a focus on primary and community care, saying it is the most common area of concern for patients feeding back their experiences. "Focusing support to NHS teams to deliver care closer to home will support many people get the right help in the right place. Although some patients prefer to travel longer distances for specialist advice or for continuity of care, others prioritise speed of access. And in most cases, that will be in their local community. “As ever, there must be ongoing engagement to understand people’s preferences at each interaction with the health service, and to support a culture of listening to and involving patients as decision makers in their own care. “And ultimately, we need to see improvements made to primary and community care. This includes investment in social care reform, expanding patient transport support to non-hospital services, supporting GP teams to deliver 24/7 access to e-triage, and giving people meaningful choices at the point of booking their appointments.” https://bit.ly/4bVFbPF

Accessible, consistent health care is essential to improving one's overall well-being. That's why we're always looking for ways to expand access to crucial health care services within the communities we serve. 👇 We aim to address social determinants of health at the local level through the support of organizations and initiatives that focus on the critical health-related social needs of our underserved populations – including affordable housing, workforce training and food insecurity. As part of that commitment, the CVS Health Foundation has awarded its 2023 Hometown Fund grants to organizations across Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island who seek to address those needs, improve health outcomes for individuals with chronic diseases, and increase access to equitable care.
