HEALTH CARE REFORM IN ACTION: HOW WILL HEALTH INSURANCE EXCHANGES IMPROVE QUALITY?

HEALTH CARE REFORM IN ACTION:  How Will Health Insurance Exchanges Improve Quality?


Health insurance exchanges aren’t just an opportunity to expand access to health insurance. They also offer states a number of options to drive quality improvement and delivery system reform.  
 Aligning Forces for Quality (AF4Q) is the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s signature effort to lift the overall quality of health care in 16 targeted communities, as well as reduce racial and ethnic disparities and provide tested local models that help propel national reform.

Quick on the heels of the Supreme Court's Affordable Care Act ruling, the Department of Health and Human Services announced new funding to help states continue implementing health insurance exchanges. As states and the federal government work to create exchanges, lessons from Aligning Forces for Quality (AF4Q), and other resources from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation can inform these efforts.

“A Gateway for Possibilities”: Resident Leadership and Community Ownership

LISC's Institute for Community Power has published a new Spotlight examining three leadership development programs designed and implemented by LISC and local partners for distinct communities in different parts of the country: Training the Trainers (T4T) in Houston; the Newark Resident Leadership Academy (NRLA); and Community Connectors in Philadelphia. Each group has leveraged the leadership program to inform and strengthen their work and, in turn, to serve their communities more effectively.
