Agenda

Summary: Supporting Community Data Engagement – An NCVHS Roundtable

Meeting Objectives:

The Roundtable will bring together community leaders, health data ‘connectors’ (intermediary organizations), and health data suppliers to identify major lessons, needs and gaps in local data access and use and explore how HHS can better support local data efforts. More specifically, this Roundtable is designed to:

  • Develop a shared understanding of the challenges, progress and aspirations of community collaboratives working on health assessment/improvement efforts;
  • Identify strategies and recommendations to enhance the role of data connectors; and
  • Identify strategies and recommendations that improve the dissemination strategies of data suppliers.

The ultimate goal is to help community collaborations/partnerships systematically and effectively use data and information to enhance local well-being. The Roundtable is being organized by the Population Health Subcommittee.

  • Large group dialogue
 
2:15 p.m. BREAK  
2:30 p.m. The View from Data Suppliers

 

CDC
NCHS
SAMHSA
HRSA
CMS
AHRQ

 

Data suppliers are asked to serve as ‘reactors’ from their respective agencies’ perspectives about issues and gaps identified by communities and connectors with regard to data availability and policies that could improve community access. Please identify potential changes in agency policy for data collection, data dissemination, and technical support to meet broader community needs. Questions that the reactor panel may wish to consider are:

  • How can our data be made easier to use from the community perspective?
  • Are we missing major channels of communication/dissemination?
  • Could we provide more tools and resources to make our data easier to use?
  • What should our role be in providing small geographic area data? Data for population subgroups? More timely, perhaps provisional, data?
  • Can we help communities collect data similar to ours but at the community level?
  • How can we help communities develop better stewardship practices for the data they use?
  • How can our programs be more supportive in this space?
 
3:30 p.m. Using Data to Promote a Culture of Health

Kathy Hempstead, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

The intent for this segment is to pivot to future possibilities and meld the earlier conversations. Funders have a unique point of view that spans communities, suppliers and connectors. What are they looking, hoping and planning for?

 
4:15 p.m. Final Group Dialogue

  • Small mixed groups will generate what they feel are the most significant patterns, themes and/or potential breakthrough ideas worth pursuing. Essentially, what’s getting traction, gaps, needs, potential solutions?
  • This will be followed by large group sharing, including flagging the challenging questions that need further exploration.
 
5:00 p.m. Wrap Up & Next Steps  
5:15 p.m. Adjourn  

Day 2 – October 28, 2014

 

8:30 a.m. Start Up

  • Review of Day One themes and findings; brief comments
  • Small group dialogue, identifying 4-6 broad buckets in which to focus gap analysis and recommendations
 
9:00 a.m.
