Call for Participants: Accelerating Child Health Transformation Learning Community Accelerating Child Health Transformation Project Description Accelerating Child Health Transformation (ACHT), an initiative led by the Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is seeking to better understand and test key elements necessary to transform child health through the advancement of more comprehensive, well-being focused pediatric practice models. CHCS recently conducted a comprehensive scan of best practices in the child health field to identify three key elements critical for child health transformation: Adopting anti-racist practices to advance health equity;Promoting a family-driven, multi-generational approach; andAddressing social risks and needs to promote resilience and address overall well-being.Additionally, the scan identified two primary levers to support the diffusion and sustainability of these elements at the practice level: (1) accountability measures and (2) payment mechanisms.Over three years, CHCS will convene leaders in the child health field across the nation — including pediatric providers, community-based partners, family-led organizations, and managed care organizations — to pursue opportunities to share best practices, develop and test a pediatric transformation toolkit, and identify opportunities to foster continued collaboration across the field to improve outcomes for children and families. The project will:Develop a national ACHT learning community of pediatric practices that will provide a platform for peer-to-peer exchange to advance understanding and ensure successful adoption of the key elements — adopting anti-racist practices; promoting a family-driven, multi-generational approach; and addressing social risks and needs — for advancing exemplary pediatric practice models; andDevelop, test, and disseminate a transformation toolkit that addresses practice-level changes and the payment and accountability levers that support them. Accelerating Child Health Transformation Learning Community The ACHT learning community, led by CHCS, will provide a forum for pediatric practices to learn from peers on approaches and strategies related to child health transformation. Through focused presentations, discussions, and peer sharing, the learning community will inform the development of an operational roadmap to accelerate child health transformation at the pediatric practice level. Learning community activities that will take place over nine months, starting in April 2021, include: Establishing a community of practice to accelerate the pace of learning and advancement among participating providers;Sharing examples of best practices, innovative models, successes, and challenges related to adopting anti-racist practices, promoting a family-driven, multi-generational approach, and addressing social risks and needs; Developing and expanding practices that promote anti-racism for your patients and staff in your practices, communities, and partnerships;Supporting the development and growth of partnerships between practices and local and state agencies that can drive innovation, including but not limited to community-based organizations, managed care organizations, and state Medicaid agencies;Identifying opportunities to elevate family voices in determining appropriate changes in care delivery;Learning about specific strategies related to accountability and payment reform that can accelerate practice change; andContributing to the development of a nationally released pediatric transformation toolkit designed to support widespread adoption of strategies that address the three key elements of child health transformation, including implementing new payment structures and quality measurement approaches; andIdentifying ongoing collaboration and information-sharing opportunities at the national level. How to Apply for the ACHT Learning CommunityCHCS will convene a select number of pediatric practices that are excelling in one or more of the elements necessary for child health transformation and are committed to refining and expanding their efforts. Time Commitment Participants should be able to commit to a nine-month peer-sharing process that will involve at least six 60-minute virtual meetings and limited requests for feedback to refine the findings of the learning community and the pediatric transformation toolkit. National experts, peers, and leaders, including family health representatives, will help inform the discussions, and participants will play an active role in shaping deeper exploration in topics that are most meaningful to their work. If applying as a team, at least one representative should be able to attend each of the meetings. If representatives for each meeting will be different, the team is responsible for providing continuity between meetings. Note, meetings will be held during weekday business hours and will be scheduled to maximize participant availability.Eligibility and Selection ProcessPediatric practices are encouraged to submit a letter of interest (LOI). CHCS, with guidance from the ACHT Core Advisory Team, will select a number of pediatric practices from the received LOIs, based on the activities and achievements of the practices submitting LOIs. The ACHT Core Advisory Team is composed of family representatives and key national experts in the pediatric field, including: Renée D. Boynton-Jarrett, MD, ScD, Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Boston University School of Medicine and Founding Director, Vital Village; Charles Bruner, PhD, Network Resource Manager, InCK Marks; Stephanie Doyle, MPH, Senior Associate, Center for the Study of Social Policy; Hala Durrah, MTA, Patient Family Engagement Consultant and Advocate; Gretchen Hammer, MPH, Founder, Public Leadership Group; and Kay Johnson, MPH, MEd, President, Johnson Group Consulting. Pediatric practices can apply as part of a team, which can include other team members that are directly involved in topics most relevant to learning community topics, such as clinical and non-clinical staff, as well as community-based partners. Each pediatric participant (or the whole team, if they apply as such) will receive an honorarium of $2,500 for participation. Practices involved in the learning community will have the opportunity to apply for the next phase of the project that includes the testing of the pediatric transformation toolkit, additional funding, and one-on-one technical assistance from national experts.How to ApplyThose interested in joining the learning community should complete the questions on pages 3-6 of this document and submit to Liz Buck (lbuck@) by March 19, 2021, at 5pm ET.
