Research shows that social factors such as income, educational attainment, and access to food and housing affect health, particularly the health of lower-income people. Please join us for a Commonwealth Fund webinar on the business case for including social interventions in health care delivery. The webinar will draw on the recent report, Addressing Patients’ Social Needs: An Emerging Business Case for Provider Investment, and offer frontline accounts of health systems’ efforts to address social needs, especially in response to value-based payment and increasing accountability for quality, costs, and outcomes.

8th Annual Conference on Health Disparities
Additional Information:
http://www.nationalhealthdisparities.com/2014/overview.php
Description:
Like its seven predecessors, the 2014 NCHD will focus on policies and programs to reduce health disparities, with one panel addressing a new topic: the impact of health issues, including disparities, on our nation’s military personnel and national security. Throughout the conference, presenters will emphasize the role of social determinants, personal responsibility and prevention in initiatives that reduce disparities.
Why is this important to all Americans, and not just our nation’s minority citizens? Over time, our nation’s healthcare providers and policy makers have come to understand that the wellbeing of each American impacts the well-being of all Americans. Truly healthy communities and their citizen-leaders recognize the roles human health, environmental quality, environmental justice and economic development play in overall community development. Moreover, at a time when our nation’s traditional “sick-care” medical model appears to be unsustainable, a comprehensive “well-care” approach, recognizing social determinants and emphasizing prevention and personal responsibility, may reduce disparities and restore much-needed balance to the national dialogue on healthcare.
From 2007 through 2013, national conferences in Charleston, SC; the U.S. Virgin Islands; Atlanta, GA; Philadelphia, PA, and Little Rock, AR, have brought together diverse partners, presenters and attendees to share their knowledge of health disparities. These programs have uncovered a much larger story: that social determinants, such as race, poverty, low educational attainment, public safety, environmental quality and inadequate housing, are major contributors to health disparities. These findings suggest the potential benefits of rededicating a portion of America’s healthcare resources to programs that emphasize education, prevention and personal responsibility – each person’s willingness and capacity to make informed decisions that reduce the likelihood of disease development.
This program’s agenda offers participants the chance to interact in a variety of settings, including a student forum with poster presentations, panel sessions on specific topics, keynote and luncheon speakers, and more relaxed social activities. This brochure includes information on registration, accommodations, sponsorship opportunities and conference-related social media.
I hope you will take the opportunity to join us for what we believe will be a milestone event in our NCHD series.

Balancing Fidelity & Adaptation: If We Want More Evidence-Based Practice, We Need More Practice-Based Evidence
Additional Information:
https://cyberseminar.cancercontrolplanet.org/implementationscience/
Description:
On Wednesday, September 24, 2014 from 2:00-3:00 pm EDT, we are pleased to have Drs. Green and Gold join us for a reprisal of their engaging presentation and discussion from this year’s Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health (TIDIRH). Fidelity and Adaptation relate to the manner in which the evidence from a research study is brought to practice. There is fidelity if the program is implementation very similar to how it was originally designed and there is adaptation when there are changes made to the process and content of the program to fit to a particular context. In most cases, contextual factors can influence the ability to maintain fidelity as well as the need for adaptation. In this session, these concepts will be discussed in depth with examples.
