The Milbank State Leadership Network’s virtual briefings, which feature subject matter experts and experienced state policymakers, include presentations and discussion on topics that are highly relevant to today’s legislative and executive branch state leaders. Recent topics have included the impact of state social policies on population health and state master plans on aging and an upcoming briefing will consider the future of public health.

Upcoming briefings

The Milbank Memorial Fund is launching a series of virtual briefings to highlight important sources of state-level data on health system performance — and provide guidance on how best to use them. The “Leveraging Performance Scorecards to Improve Health and Equity in Your State” series will include:

• A context-setting session, State Health Data Sources for Action, with overviews of two leading sources of state health data: the Kaiser Family Foundation State Health Facts and Medicaid and CHIP Payment Commission MACStats report
• Sessions on two major state scorecards:
  • The Commonwealth Fund Achieving Racial and Ethnic Equity in US Health Care Scorecard of State Performance
  • The AARP/Scan Foundation/Commonwealth Fund Long-Term Services and Supports State Scorecard
•  Sessions profiling two stand-out examples of state-specific health data dashboards:
  • Oregon Child Integrated Dataset
  • Connecticut Money Follows the Person Report

Interested state officials should contact Cindy Chen at cchen@milbank.org to register or visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MSLNWebinar2022.
