Trainer: Maddie Ribble, Massachusetts Public Health Association |
Wednesday, September 26
10:00 am - 11:30 am
Online Training
Topics:
Overview of the history of ACO's, the role they play in Massachusetts healthcare, and how they address SDoH
Accountable Care Organizations (ACO's) have become increasingly prevalent in state Medicaid programs as a way to improve health care quality, control high costs, and address the social determinants of health as we have seen in Massachusetts. The trainers will go over the history of health reform in Massachusetts, what an ACO is, and the role they play in addressing the social determinants of health. Using Massachusetts as the primary case study, participants will be able to understand how ACO's are facilitating the coordination of care for vulnerable populations through a public health and prevention lens. The trainers will dive more deeply into topics like MassHealth, social service integration, and exactly how ACO's are addressing SDoH in our state.
By participating in this online training, participants will be able to:
- Define what an Accountable Care Organization is.
- Identify ways in which ACO's address social determinants of health in Massachusetts
- Name strategies for aligning community prevention work with the larger healthcare system in MA.
This training addresses the following MA DPH Coalition Criteria:
- Shared vision including a focus on reducing health disparities and promoting health equity
- Consistency with MA DPH's goals and priorities

NEW CHTI TRAINING OPPORTUNITY:
Announcing our 2019 Health Equity Cohort!
This cohort will serve as a learning network that connects public health workers and coalition leaders from across the state working to promote health equity in their communities. Participants will share and learn:
- From their collective experiences and challenges.
- Through engaging in interactive training methods and skill-focused learning.
- By exploring the topic of health equity and incorporating those learnings into their work.
Applications to join the cohort will be released in September!

We want to know where you think we should host our trainings, what topics you would like us to offer, and what time of year you prefer trainings to be held.

We are working to build a network of MA coalitions to increase access to resources, training, and peer-to-peer support. It is the only searchable database of coalitions in the state, and the more people we engage in it, the better our database becomes. This roster is not a definitive list;
its accuracy is determined by coalitions' efforts to verify, add, and update their own organizational profiles.
Please add, update, or verify your coalition here.
