When : October 16, 2019 to October 18, 2019

Blog – Improving Health and Human Services: It’s About Making Connections

By Daniel Stein

When I first saw the title of this week’s Connected Health Conference, “Designing for Healthy Habits and Better Outcomes,” I was delighted. After all, Stewards of Change Institute (SOCI) has been working for over 15 years to bridge the silos that historically have separated the numerous sectors and systems that contribute to everyone’s health and well-being. So the event’s title signaled that leading organizations in our country clearly “get” that it’s essential to infuse their work with factors and considerations other than healthcare. Read more >>

About the Conference

Interoperability Gallery

 

After the Interoperability Mural Gallery’s showings at the CIE Summit and the MESC, we are taking it to the Annual Connected Health Conference (CHC). This important event “is the global platform for provocative and forward-thinking discussion, deal-making opportunities and real-world perspectives.” Our murals focus on cross-sector information-sharing, the social determinants of health and well-being, and how interoperability can support the drive toward person-centered, value-based care. In short, the gallery provides a unique, visually appealing and immersive environment in which attendees can learn about other domains that contribute to overall health and well-being – and can see the connections between them. With the understanding that interoperability is an increasingly significant element of healthcare and health IT, we chose murals for this event that are both highly relevant to the CHC audience and that demonstrate their value as a teaching-and-learning tool. They range from representations of how to create an organizational vision or strategic plan, to thought-provoking depictions of complex issues such as achieving racial equity in healthcare.

In the NIC of Time: A Visual Journey to Connected Health | Daniel Stein, President and Founder, SOCI
October 16, 2:30PM – 2:50PM | October 17, 1:00PM – 1:20PM

Daniel Stein will provide an overview of the Interoperability Mural Gallery, a unique showcase that brings to life the story of connecting human services with healthcare and other fields over the past decade. Daniel will discuss how the Social Determinants of Health have become widely accepted and integral to accelerating value-based, whole-person care, as well as the quadruple aim. Stewards of Change Institute, which Daniel heads, created scores of murals over the past decade from dozens of convenings with thousands of contributors from across all levels of government, industry, academia and nonprofit associations. The resulting gallery, which “makes learning visual,” will be on display in the main networking area of the conference.

Blog – Illustrating Interoperability: From San Diego To Chicago … And Beyond!

The annual Medicaid Enterprise Systems Conference is always a great place to share ideas, learn about new initiatives and technologies, network with federal and state officials and engage with industry leaders from across the country. This year’s MESC – which took place in Chicago last week – was no exception.  I’m gratified to say that Stewards of Change Institute had the privilege to show our innovative Interoperability Mural Gallery at the event.

About the Conference

2019 Medicaid Enterprise Systems Conference (MESC)About 1,500 professionals representing every state, the federal government, and private companies/organizations attend MESC each year. The event provides an opportunity for them to network, learn about recent developments and exchange ideas relating to Medicaid systems and to the many policies, practices, regulations and processes impacted by those systems. The conference is coordinated by the New England States Consortium Systems Organization (NESCSO), which is also partnering with Stewards of Change Institute (SOCI) on building a New England chapter of Stewards’ initiative, the National Interoperability Collaborative (NIC). A unique, first-time feature of the 2019 MESC will be the Interoperability Mural Gallery.

Interoperability Gallery

Based on the Interoperability Mural Gallery’s initial showing at the CIE Summit, we curated a select group of murals for the annual Medicaid Enterprise Systems Conference (MESC). This important national event “brings together thought leaders from the public and private sectors to share ideas and information related to Medicaid systems and initiatives.” With the understanding that interoperability is an increasingly significant element of the Medicaid world, we chose murals that are both highly relevant to the MESC audience – and ones that demonstrate their value as a teaching-and-learning tool. They range from representations of how to create an organizational vision or strategic plan, to thought-provoking depictions of complex issues such as achieving racial equity in health care.

Conference Sessions

A wide range of keynotes, 2½-hour workshops and 1-hour educational sessions are on the agenda for this year’s MESC, from “Practical Tips to Effectively Lead Digital Transformations and Modernize Legacy Systems” to “Let’s Connect! Getting Ready for Your Next Step with Interoperability.” Stewards of Change Institute (SOCI) President Daniel Stein will participate in a workshop titled “Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FIHR) Standards and Medicaid.” Daniel and the workshop leader, Dave Walsh, will focus on SOCI’s role in leveraging technologies in the field of Human Services, especially relating to the Social Determinants of Health and Well-Being. They will also discuss the new Let’s Get Technical group on the National Interoperability Collaborative Hub and how it can serve the MESC community.

2019 Community Information Exchange Summit

When : April 24, 2019 to April 26, 2019


Over 600 professionals representing a broad array of health-related disciplines attended last month’s national Community Information Exchange Summit, the theme of which was “Driving Cross-Sector Collaboration and Data Sharing to Create Healthier Communities.” Their verdict, based on comments at the event and evaluations afterward: It was a highly successful event, with engaging presenters, informative sessions, and a unique “Interoperability Gallery” featuring almost three dozen vivid (and fun) murals that stimulated ideas, enlivened conversation and furthered learning. The summit was organized by CIE, 2-1-1 San Diego, Stewards of Change Institute and San Diego Health Connect.

For more than a decade, Stewards of Change has used “vision mapping” – contemporaneously drawn graphic illustrations – to chronicle key themes, ideas and lessons from our symposia, trainings and other educational events. For the first time, we were able to bring almost three dozen of these visually arresting murals together for an Interoperability Gallery at the 2nd Annual CIE summit. By all accounts, the unique result was a showcase that induced hundreds of visitors to take photos, buzz about both the content and its presentation, and take information from the murals home to enhance their own work. At the request of other conference organizers who toured the gallery, our next step is to “take the show on the road” to enrich subsequent events.

Summit Sessions

The subjects discussed during plenary and workshop sessions at the 2nd Annual CIE Summit were designed to be as diverse, engaging and informative as the 600+ professionals who attended them. They ranged from “Bridging Health and Human Services” to “An Overview and Update on the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology” to “Why Health Equity Matters” – and many, many more. Stewards of Change Institute’s role included infusing interactive activities into some event workshop, such as “Moving Upstream: The Vital Role of Interoperability to Enhance Prevention and Improve Outcomes” and “Sooner is Better: An Early-Intervention Approach to Addressing Children’s Health and Well-Being.”
