What is Population Health Population Health – “the health outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group.” * Payors are turning away from traditional physician-centric, volume/fee-based, incidental models of care to patient-centric, interprofessional coordinated care, and management of the health of entire populations Defining health as holistic well-being versus disease-free focusing on health care inequality, social determinants of health, etc. Accelerated by the Affordable Care Act Kindig D, Stoddart G (Mar 2003) “What is population health?” American Journal of Public Health. 93 (3): 380-3.

Key Challenges Facing AMCs Post-Reform Academic Medicine Dec 2015 » Balancing institutional missions » No more open-ended funding (i.e., greater scrutiny of teaching and research investments) » Developing an integrated, interprofessional vision » Shifting beyond clinical care to population management and community health » Broadening institutional perspective to include programmatically “other” disciplines (e.g., social work) » Finding the right leadership Source: Steven A Wartman, Yingying Zhou, Anthony J.

AMCs Are Repositioning “ . . . 31% of [AAHC] respondents are changing their governance structures or significant reporting relationships. The key theme is unquestionably the need for alignment amongst the various components.” - Association of Academic Health Centers (AAHC) Member Profile Survey 2014 Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy

AAMC Advisory Panel Recommendations “AMCs have four options: form a new system (if they have capital and wherewithal to do so), partner with others in a collaborative network model, merge into a system, or be prepared to shrink in isolation.” “The Panel recommends a true group practice [Integration] will provide the basis to address cost and productivity issues, implement service line programs, make strategic investments needed to create networks, and develop capabilities to succeed as systems of care.” — Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), 2014 Source: Thomas Enders, Joanne Conroy, “Advancing the Academic Health System for the Future," AAMC, 2014.

IOM Perspective “As centers of convergence for health care, biomedical research, and workforce training, Academic Health Systems are critical drivers of innovation and are uniquely positioned to lead the health system toward a new standard of care delivery To succeed in meeting the full potentials and obligations of our stewardship responsibilities, we will need to do better in assessing, developing and organizing shared strategies across the AHS community .” — Institute of Medicine, September 2014 Source: Victor Dzau, Gary Gottlieb, Steven Lipstein, Nancy Schlichting, Eugene Washington, “Essential Stewardship Priorities for Academic Health Systems," Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences, September 2014.

Clinical & Translational Medicine & Science Clinical and translational science is performed by multidisciplinary teams “translating” discoveries into effective interventions Interventions can be new drugs, therapies, devices, clinical guidelines, best practices, or population-based interventions Activities are supported by the NIH through coveted Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) The goal of the NIH CTSA program is to, “Get more treatments to more patients more quickly” Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy

Clinical & Translational Medicine & Science (2) There are only 62 CTSA institutions in the US By definition, these are the top institutions conducting clinical research New York State hosts 7 Pennsylvania hosts 3 New Jersey, ironically headquarters of the global pharmaceutical industry, hosts 0 Our goal is to fix this - Rutgers CTSA grant submitted to NIH Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy
