National award enables HPIO to further its health measurement work

The National Network of Public Health Institutes announced earlier this month that the Health Policy Institute of Ohio was one of four organizations nationally to be awarded a grant through NNPHI’s State Forums to Advance Health System Transformation initiative.  This grant will fund a project called “Getting to health value: Building consensus on accountability and population health in Ohio.” 

HPIO’s proposal builds upon and leverages the success of HPIO’s Health Measurement Initiative and the Health Value Dashboard to identify opportunities for collective impact and alignment between public health and the healthcare system in Ohio. Other awardees were the Georgia Health Policy Center, University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and the Washington, D.C.-based Institute for Public Health Innovation.

HPIO is currently developing a concise and comprehensive dashboard of health outcome and cost measures to track Ohio’s progress in improving health value. This includes tracking population health outcomes, health costs, health care system performance, public health system performance, health access and evaluating Ohio’s social, economic and physical environment.
