APHSA Annual Report 2018

Analytics Symposium for Action on the downtown campus of the University of Chicago. Underwritten by Optum, the Lewin Group and Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago, its purpose was to bring together H/HS thought leaders from across the country who were heavily invested in the transformative power of analytics to drive sustainable outcomes and build their organization’s analytical capabilities at the state and local levels. Sixty-one members from eighteen states and localities, along with sponsors, participated in the symposium. Follow- up activities will focus on highlighting strategies that participants are now working to implement within their state or locality. A white paper highlighting the insights gleaned from the Symposium is available on the APHSA website (www.aphsa.org). Member Stories CHIPPEWA COUNTY, WISCONSIN The Chippewa County (WI) Department of Human Services is learning how to effectively engage the broader community eco-system through the lens of the Value Curve to achieve better outcomes with fewer resources expended for its citizens. It is collaborating with community partners and integrating the underlying needs of families in service design. In November 2014, the County Health and Human Service Board approved the formation of the Children, Youth, and Families Committee (CYFC). The committee is a partnership compromised of government, education, business, law enforcement, the United Way, faith-based, nonprofit, health care, public health, legal, education and economic development organizations; and consumers of services. CYFC is committed to incrementally moving county partners toward collective action with a shift toward whole-person and family-centric service design.

DATA INTEGRATION AND INTEROPERABILITY APHSA continues to advocate for integrated policy and financing structures

that enable states to integrate data systems better, consolidate back- end support functions and leverage

technology to implement outcome-focused decision-making. APHSA has developed and shared “use case” examples from member states which highlight how state system modernization efforts facilitated by the A-87 cost allocation exception have had positive impacts in customer service, program integrity, data security and improved program and customer outcomes. APHSA staff has engaged with legislative and administration staff to highlight members’ critical needs for system modernization and data optimization. APHSA will continue to advance policy solutions like the A-87 through and with partners from industry, research and federal partners to further policy advances aimed at creating enabling conditions for states to achieve data integration and interoperability, and leverage analytics. ANALYTICS SYMPOSIUM In keeping with our 2018 Strategic Playbook, APHSA launched a Special Initiative—Igniting the Potential of the H/HS Workforce.
