Reimagining Financing and Capital Flows for Health Equity
Details:
Hosted by HealthBegins and the Social Impact Team at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health, in collaboration with the Common Health Coalition.
Innovative solutions for financing population health and public health efforts exist. The challenge isn't a lack of innovations. It's the absence of enabling infrastructure for these innovations to spread: the policy and regulatory incentives that can remove barriers, the industry standards that simplify adoption and promote shared learning, and the accountability mechanisms that sustain commitment.
We will bring together decision-makers and leaders — state agency officials, health system CFOs, managed care leaders, public health directors, health economists, actuaries, and policymakers — to spotlight innovative solutions in three critical areas:
- Financial Modeling, Cost Effectiveness Analysis, & Actuarial Methods that better assess the value of equity-focused population health and public health investments
- Collaborative Financing Mechanisms and Place-Based Investment Models that pool and unlock private capital to support community health and health equity
- Aligning Insurance with Upstream Prevention, via robust community reinvestment models and longer term enrollment periods.
