NACCHO's most recent Forces of Change Survey report provides valuable data on local health department's #DataModernization activities. The #FOCsurvey reveals that 62% of local health departments did not receive supplemental funding for data modernization efforts between fiscal years 2020 and 2022. Despite not receiving dedicated funding, more than half of local health departments planned to work on data modernization efforts, as of early 2023. Learn more at www.naccho.org/forces.

🌟 Join Us at AcademyHealth’s Annual Research Meeting in Baltimore! 🌟 We’re excited to invite you to check out Onpoint’s poster session at the upcoming AcademyHealth Annual Research Meeting! 📍 Poster: Developing Adjustment Factors for Primary Care Investment Payments 🧑 Presenter: Alex Ma, Onpoint Senior Health Data Analyst 📅 Date: Monday, July 1, during Poster Session D ⏰ Time: 5:00-6:15pm ET Onpoint supported a recent primary care initiative in California by developing adjustment factors to ensure capitation payments are fairly distributed based on patient age, gender, and health status, using a multi-variate regression model. Our poster will showcase Onpoint’s method for calculating adjustment factors as well as sample calculations for capitation payments using base payment rates based on differential population needs. This method aims to facilitate fair primary care investment and support the transition to value-based payments by providing larger payments for higher-risk patients. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about innovations in payment and delivery systems and how we’re working to improve primary care investment. We look forward to seeing you there! #AcademyHealthARM #HealthcareInnovation #PrimaryCare #ValueBasedCare #OnpointHealthData #HealthcareAnalytics #PaymentSystems

"Building trust in vaccines starts with education and community engagement," says Les Barta, director of simulation at the Rutgers University Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy. "By partnering with organizations like VEEC and the Boys & Girls Club, we can reach a broader audience and foster a culture of health and prevention right in their communities as change agents." The Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy is training Vaccine Equity Education Coalition Ambassadors at the Boys & Girls Club of Newark to be advocates who counter vaccine hesitancy and build trust in immunization in their communities. #Vaccines #VaccineHesitancy #PharmacyEducation

The opportunity of health equity science is not in creating a separate or siloed scientific discipline, but rather in embedding #healthequityscience principles across all the science #publichealth conducts. Doing so will be a critical component in transforming our public health system to better deliver on its promise of protecting and promoting #healthforall.
