Equity in the Age of Data: When Stumbling Becomes Forward Progress
Natalie S. Burke, President & CEO, CommonHealth ACTION
Natalie Burke's thought provoking opening plenary challenged us to get out of our comfort zones, recognize our unconscious biases, and adopt a health equity lens to galvanize real change in our communities. Burke emphasized the critical role data plays in shaping the factors that influence our health, cautioning, "Data is power. Whoever collects it, analyzes it, shares it, stores it, translates it, you've got the power. To whom much is given, much is required."
She went on to encourage participants to "use your data super powers for good, not evil." She stressed that by being a part of All In, we all have opportunity (and responsibility) to use data in ways that support equity, diversity, and inclusiveness. Her call to action is that we use our power and our privilege to dismantle systems of oppression and achieve the best possible health outcomes for our communities. For that, we are All In!

All In - How Far We've Come!
Clare Tanner and Peter Eckart, Data Across Sectors for Health; Alison Rein, Community Health Peer Learning Program; Melanie Herrera Bortz, the Colorado Health Foundation - Connecting Communities and Care; Catherine Patterson, BUILD Health Challenge
Moderated by: Hilary Heishman, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
In the early stages of DASH's development, Hilary Heishman sought to accelerate progress towards RWJF's goal of building a Culture of Health, and "took a full swing" by joining forces with other programs to inspire a national movement that could have a more powerful impact. What emerged was All In: Data for Community Health, co-founded by DASH and CHP, that now includes BUILD and Connecting Communities in Care - and continues to grow, evolve and take shape.
Program office leaders on the panel agreed that the future success of All In will be dependent on the extent to which members from local projects define and shape it. The panel was excited by the potential opportunity to see "democracy in action" as project leaders connect with peers, lift each other up, and develop an infrastructure that helps all of us advance the field together.

Toward Data-Driven, Cross-Sector, and Community-Led Transformation: An Environmental Scan of Select Programs
Alison Rein, Community Health Peer Learning Program, AcademyHealth
Alison Rein shared high-level results of CHP's newly released Environmental Scan, which takes a deep dive into the emerging landscape of community-based population health improvement initiatives, many of which have a focus on data. The report characterizes the size, scope, and funding sources, and supports comparison, and identifies possible gaps and opportunities for collaboration and support.CHP had conversations with 17 programs representing 450 local collaborations with diverse programmatic aims and geographic locations. The scan highlighted the role of program offices in facilitating peer learning and practical and tailored TA support, and characterized the range of aims and approaches being deployed by local projects. The insights reveal the importance of developing a robust multi-sector data infrastructure for advancing population health, and affirm the vision and work of efforts represented in All In.

Measuring Our Progress: A Multi-Meeting Discussion with 100 Million Healthier Lives About How We Know That We Are Making a Difference
Clare Tanner, Data Across Sectors for Health, Michigan Public Health Institute; Soma Stout, 100 Million Healthier Lives
Despite co-occurring meetings in different parts of the country, All In and 100 Million Healthier Lives held a joint session to connect our conversations around progress reporting and measurement. Soma Stout, the Executive Lead for 100 Million Healthier Lives, greeted the audience via video asking, "Would you consider being 'All In' with us to figure out how we might create a well-being measurement system for the country together?"
Participants of both meetings responded to the same set of discussion questions, and there was consensus about the need to collect person-reported outcomes and listen to community perspectives on what measures matter most. The discussion highlighted the need to translate data into actionable insights using community dashboards and other tools that democratize data access. This initial conversation can help pave the way for All In, 100 Million Healthier Lives, and other initiatives to work together to develop common metrics to help us understand and improve well-being.

Other (BIG!) Parts of the Movement to Improve Population Health
Bill Winfrey, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation; Jessica Kahn, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services; Sue Grinnell, Public Health Institute; Barbara Masters, Masters Policy Consulting
Moderated by: Jaime Dircksen, Trinity Health
An insightful panel of experts leading diverse state and national organizing models - such as Accountable Care Organizations, Accountable Health Communities, and Accountable Communities of Health - that are accelerating efforts to transition from volume to value-based care. Although these models go by different names, they all act as vehicles for sustaining the funding and infrastructure for multi-sector collaborations over the long term.
The panel shared how their initiatives are working to develop common standards, approaches, and policies at the state and national level that can help to reduce redundancy associated with one-off efforts to tackle common challenges. By conducting rigorous evaluations to identify what works, building strong business cases and aligning incentives, and investing in information management infrastructure, these organizing models can help bring data sharing efforts to scale in more communities across the U.S.

Quick Hit: Monitoring Capacity for Multi-Sector Data Sharing and Collaboration
Clare Tanner, Data Across Sectors for Health, Michigan Public Health Institute
In this 15-minute "quick hit" presentation, Clare Tanner summarized the findings from a pilot administration of a data collection tool developed by DASH and CHP that assesses community readiness to share data across sectors to advance health. The instrument was administered with 20 local projects to measure the strength of their collaborations, available resources, data governance, workflow, technical capacity, and other factors that are crucial to this work. Tanner invited local collaborations at the meeting to participate in the readiness assessment in the future so we can continue to monitor progress across the country.
Quick Hits: Lightning Round Introductions to All In Tools and Resources
Moderated by: Peter Eckart, Data Across Sectors for Health, Illinois Public Health Institute
All In partners are working on a variety of tools and resources to support local projects. In this lightning round session, five presenters had 90 seconds to convince participants to join a 50-minute breakout session to learn more about their tool.
Amanda Brodt made a compelling case for a session on how the CHP Environmental Scan can be used to invite further conversation about some of the emerging technical assistance needs and other issues revealed in the profiled programs.
Clare Tanner encouraged local collaborations and funders to learn how the readiness assessment tool can help with planning, prioritizing, monitoring progress, and identifying bright spots.
Roxanne Medina-Fulcherasked participants to think about how a common data model can help them harness collective learning and connect the dots across different initiatives.
Beth Johnson and the "Johnsonettes" (aka Danielle Lepar and Melissa Moorehead) put their creative minds together to perform a poetic interpretive dance routine illustrating why participants should join an interactive session about the learning collaborative.
Katherine Browne made an intriguing pitch for a session focused making the value case for data sharing to key stakeholders to expand and sustain a collaboration over the long term.
