The events will introduce the Lifecourse Initiative for Healthy Families, an up to $10 million collaboration between the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and groups in Beloit, Kenosha, Milwaukee, and Racine.
The Wisconsin Partnership Program started the Initiative as part of a long-term commitment to investigate and address the high incidence of African-American infant mortality in the state. Wisconsin's infant mortality rate for African-Americans is the worst in the nation. A black child born in Wisconsin is three times more likely to die before his or her first birthday than a white child.
Groups in the four cities are enlisting community stakeholders, representing community groups, health care providers, educational institutions, and government health agencies, to tailor localized action plans that incorporate the best available evidence to improve birth outcomes. These plans will address three key domains: improving access to care, strengthening families and communities, and addressing social and economic inequities.

This webinar focuses on two examples of translation in PHSSR. Participants will learn about designing research questions in partnership with practitioners, conducting research with practice partners, and sharing findings with those who can use them to support the implementation of evidence-based and innovative public health practice.
Please click on the registration button above to register for this event. For more information, please see the event details below or contact AcademyHealth if you have any questions.
Course Level: 101 (Introductory)Faculty: William Riley, Ph.D., University of Minnesota; Danielle Varda, Ph.D., University of Colorado; Julia Ruschmann, Bay County Health Department, Florida; Kim Gearin, Minnesota Department of Health.
Format: Live webinar with streaming slides and audio
Registration Price: Free*
*Due to generous support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, participation in this webinar is free and the entire public health research and practice community is invited participate.
Overview: For research to influence the practice of public health, its findings must be relevant for those in the field. Designing research questions in partnership with practitioners, who have their pulse on public health's most pressing needs, can help ensure relevance. Similarly, conducting research with practice partners, and sharing findings with those who can use them, supports the implementation of evidence-based and innovative public health practice.
As the field of Public Health Systems and Services Research (PHSSR) grows, it must adopt methods and strategies to translate findings in a way that resonates with key stakeholders, particularly those who conduct the business of public health.
This webinar focuses on two examples of translation in PHSSR. William Riley, Ph.D., associate dean for the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota, will discuss his work developing a pilot program to expand the use of continuous quality improvement (CQI) principles to public health agencies, with a focus on reducing health disparities. Danielle Varda, Ph.D., assistant professor in the School of Public Affairs at the University of Colorado, will discuss her research examining partnerships in public health. In response, the researcher's practice partners will discuss their experience working with the investigators, describe the research's relevance for the field, and give suggestions for translating findings.

Community Conversations: Dialogue with Our Youth Series. You are invited to the 2nd conversation in the series. Please join the MFI, the Dr. Martin Luther King Community Center, Pearls for Teen Girls, the running Rebels Community Organization and Gee's Clippers, along with youth from across the city as we look at Parenthood, through the Lens of Teen Fathers and examine the question: To Be, Or Not To Be (A Father Now).
In an awesome display of collaboration, the second conversation is a part of the King Center's Annual King Day Celebration, honoring the Civil Rights icon. An even greater story is that the theme - chosen solely by King Center staff - for this year's celebration is: Rites of Passage: From Boys to Men, Working Together to Chart the Journey. It's a well-known, well-documented fact that Dr. King was a loving, devoted father and family man. Therefore, the theme fits squarely with the topic of discussion and makes it that much easier to present this incredibly important opportunity to mix with our youth.
The discussion will consist of two panels. Each panel will be made up of 4-5 young men between the ages of 17-30. One panel will be young fathers and the other will be young men who aren't fathers yet. Both panels will offer examples of life in their respective shoes. The fathers will provide details about life as a young/teen father and the non-fathers will offer views on life without children including things they do specifically to prevent becoming a father. It's our hope that the fathers hear something from the non-fathers that prevents them from having additional children until they're - emotionally, socially and financially - ready. Conversely, we hope the non-fathers hear something that prevents them from becoming a father until they're ready. Bob Moore, from Fox 6 Milwaukee, will be our moderator. We hope you're able to join us and hear what these young men – and women – have to say.

The federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) provides incentives to create a new type of health care entity called Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) as a means to increase efficiency, reduce health expenditures, and improve patient outcomes. ACOs will assign a group of providers and hospitals responsibility for the quality, total spending, and health outcomes of a population. Their financial structure will encourage sharing information, coordinating care and avoiding unnecessary tests and procedures. This model, first defined and proposed by Dr. Elliott Fisher and colleagues, represents a significant next phase in the ongoing effort to build appropriate financial incentives into the payment system and promote value in health care.
Yet, the law's relatively broad language on ACOs leaves many questions about their structure and implementation still unanswered. As networks form in anticipation of new guidelines, many are wondering if ACOs will be able to meet their promise of increasing quality while curbing expenditure growth. Dr. Fisher, will address these ambiguities and suggest public policy alternative for moving forward with ACOs.
Dr. Fisher is the nation's leading thinker on Accountable Care Organizations and is currently assisting CMS in defining regulations for implementing its Medicare program to advance this model. He is the James W. Squires, MD Professor at Dartmouth Medical School and Director for Population Health and Policy at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice. Dr. Fisher is director of The Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care and a member of the Institure of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences.

Panel Discussion with Experts on Social Determinants of Health Moderated by David Williams, PhD.
Despite an abundance of information about healthy lifestyles and the most advanced medical care in the world, millions of Americans experience needlessly poor health and don’t practice healthy behaviors. For many, the path to a healthy or unhealthy life is influenced by factors largely beyond their control, like the neighborhoods they grew up in, their parents’ income and level of education, and the stress they’ve experienced in their daily lives. The costs of poor health are borne not only by individuals but by their families and, ultimately, by all Americans.

Collaboration and Partnership in Global Health: Success and Challenges of the World Health Organization
In the United States, where health disparities and inequities also exist, schools and universities strive to create “global citizens” by challenging their students to think critically of their role in their local communities and beyond their borders. What can university students and professors do to address the menacing inequities/injustices in health and well-being pervasive around the world today? What are some of the important lessons learned from the development, implementation and sustainability of global health programs around the world by United Nations Organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO)? Should there be a paradigm shift in which wealthy countries embrace the transference of health knowledge to poor nations as bi-directional and co-development, with poor and wealthy nations learning from the other? Come join us for an exciting discussion and celebrate World Health Day in the UWM College of Nursing.
World Health Day is celebrated in April each year to mark the founding of the World Health Organization. For information on the structure and functions of WHO, including the current World Health Report “Health Systems Financing; The Path to Universal Coverage,” go to: http://www.who.int/en/. This forum will be an interactive forum targeting students, faculty, staff, and community members. Readings and suggested activities can be provided in advance, upon request, for students who wish to further explore vital global health issues.

One of the most moving and inspirational events I have ever attended. It is not a fund raiser. It is the one time a year when the survivors who are experiencing healing from sexual assault through the Healing Center (which is part of Aurora Sinai) share using song, poetry, dance, etc. You can drop in for a short time, or stay till the end. It is not really a social event. You do not mingle. Last year I just sat alone in the back of the audience and was silently overwhelmed by the survivors stories, and the hope they have found at the Healing Center. You can drop in at any time and catch as many performances as you like. Each one lasts just a few moments.
I guarantee it will change you. And your silent presence would mean the world to the Aurora caregivers who work there, and the survivors who heal there.
Bring family and friends. Doors open at 5:00.
Soon thereafter we will have a 45 min. play which was written by a survivor and will be performed by a theater group of youth from Chicago.
After the play we will transition into the survivor speak out and sharing of their healing journeys.
Event ends at 8 pm.
-Food will be available. It is a pot luck (because we could not find a food sponsor) but you don't have to bring any food. There will be plenty. Parking available on the street.

The cost of employer-sponsored health care is rising precipitously for most of the private sector, often ranking as the second or third highest business expense; however, Wisconsin can boast of some notable exceptions to this trend. These business success stories offer innovative models not only of how to “bend the cost curve” but of how to transform employer-sponsored health care to improve population health. John Torinus, CEO of Serigraph and author of The Company that Solved Health Care, and George Kerwin, President and CEO of Bellin Health will speak about their businesses success reducing health care costs. Professor Tom DeLeire will serve as discussant. This briefing will identify key components of these models’ success, discuss to what degree these key components are replicable in the public sector, and identify challenges in transferring such models from the private to the public sector.
Wisconsin legislators face a current Medicaid budget shortfall of $150M ($1.8B over the biennium) and the task of implementing new federal health care reform initiatives. Confronting these challenges will require legislators to consider a broad range of policy options to reduce costs and improve the overall health of populations served through publically funded health care programs. This briefing will explore what lessons these private sector examples can offer for improving quality and reducing costs.
Breakfast registration starts at 8:15am
