Security Health Plan
SHP started a Community Benefit Program in 2011
Health Literacy & Kid’s Health identified as a priority
Focus on root causes of health
Medical cost avoidance (e.g. ROI)
Challenges
Data Collection Hard to get back surveys
Incentives?? Self Reporting What data do we want next? Where does data get stored?
Do we do more workshops?
Opportunities
Future Conversations
New Partners How Can You Do This Type of Project? How Can We Help You Do This?
