Accountable Community of Health Design: Getting Grounded Accountable Community of Health Interim Leadership Council May 7, 2015

What’s behind the Accountable Community of Health Initiative? ❶
By 2020, the people of King County will experience significant gains in health and well-being because our community worked collectively to make the shift from a costly, crisis-oriented response to health and social problems, to one that focuses on prevention, embraces recovery, and eliminates disparities.

To succeed, must apply the “Triple Aim” Framework Better health of populations System designs that simultaneously improve three dimensions Better care for individuals Lower per capita health care costs The IHI Triple Aim framework was developed by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement in Cambridge, Massachusetts (www. ihi. org). ” 6
Meanwhile, down in Olympia – a Health Innovation Plan is crafted (and funded) • Build healthier communities through a broad, collaborative regional approach (Accountable Communities of Health) • Ensure health care focuses on the whole person (focus on physical/ behavioral health integration) • Improve how we pay for services (pay for value, not volume) Through combined savings and avoided costs, adjusting health system can save $1. 05 billion over 5 years 7
Clinical ACHs Community Accountable Community of Health Defined: A regionally governed, public-private collaborative or structure tailored by the region to align actions and initiatives of a diverse coalition of participants in order to achieve healthy communities and populations 8
What will ACHs do? • Facilitate collaborative decision-making across multiple sectors and systems, focusing on social determinants of health, clinical-community linkages, and whole person care. • Bring together all sectors that contribute to health to develop shared priorities and strategies for population health, including improved delivery systems, coordinated initiatives, and value based payment models. • Drive physical and behavioral health care integration by informing financing and delivery system adjustments, starting with Medicaid. • Engage in state-community partnership to achieve results. 9
