Lessons from Accountable Health Communities Model Participants: Preparing for Future Innovation

What does it take to make cross-sector care coordination work in the real world?

Join us for the next Collaboratives in Action webinar – “Lessons from Accountable Health Communities Model Participants: Preparing for Future Innovation” – on August 25 at 12 p.m. ET as we explore lessons from the CMS Accountable Health Communities (AHC) Model with Marisol Caban (Associate Director, Community Engagement & Capacity Building), Audrey Hendricks (Senior Program Manager, Data-Driven Workflows, Clinical Redesign Initiatives), and Ashley Humienny (Senior Director, Digital Systems & Solutions) of Camden Coalition, alongside David Kendrick (Founder of MyHealth Access Network, Chair of the Department of Medical Informatics at the University of Oklahoma's School of Community Medicine, and HIE and interoperability subject matter expert).

Just as CMS has released its final evaluation of the AHC Model—highlighting positive outcomes and valuable lessons for connecting health care and social care—this conversation will examine what made the model successful and what communities can learn moving forward. From patient navigation and community referrals to data sharing and workflow design, these organizations helped bridge health care and social care, demonstrating how trusted community infrastructure can improve outcomes and support whole-person care.

As new CMMI models emerge, we'll discuss the findings from the AHC evaluation and explore why HIEs, regional health improvement collaboratives, community-based organizations, and other Civitas members remain essential partners in advancing health improvement.

Webinar participants will learn:

✅ Key findings and lessons from the AHC Model evaluation

✅ The role of trusted, neutral conveners in cross-sector collaboration

✅ Real-world implementation lessons and workflow challenges

✅ How navigation programs drove impact

✅ Strategies for sustaining community infrastructure beyond grant funding

✅ What AHC can teach us about the future of health and social care transformation
