These updated program services respond to emergent new opportunities to advance America's Agenda's continuing mission in the changing, post-Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("ACA") enactment health care environment.The updated program services, described in more detail with key accomplishments below, are:1. Campaign to transform delivery of health care for New Jersey public employees2. Campaign to transform delivery of care to employees across the packinghouse industry3. Call to Action to Self-funded Employer Health Plans to Lead in Transformation of America's Health Care, a campaign advanced with targeted initiatives to launch and exhibit self-funded health plan transformation of care delivery in local settings.Detailed Program Activities:In 2015, America's Agenda: Health Care for All ("AAHCA") continued implementation of our initiative to transform healthcare delivery for approximately 800,000 New Jersey public employees, dependents, and retirees. The initiative aims to introduce, on a large scale, innovative new strategies for delivering and coordinating high quality care at lower costs that could save hundreds of millions of dollars in State health care spending, relieving pressure to increase taxes on New Jersey residents, while producing improved health outcomes for public employees. As a result of our efforts, a landmark agreement was reached between New Jersey public employee unions and the current State administration. Under the agreement, articulated in a Resolution adopted on 7/6/15, a Direct Primary Care Medical Home Pilot Program was established. The Pilot Program creates networks of advanced, high-value, direct primary care health centers in communities where high densities of public employees live and work. The plan design will allow private sector employers and employees to access the direct primary care medical homes established to serve public employees, thereby dispersing the benefits of higher value care across entire New Jersey communities. About 400,000 active New Jersey public State and local government employees and dependents will be eligible to participate in the Pilot Program adopted in July 2015. In addition to working to ensure effective implementation of the Program, AAHCA continues our effort to expand eligibility to include an additional 400,000 NJ public school employees and their dependents whom the State has not yet approved for participation. AAHCA views the New Jersey care delivery transformation project as a template for reducing public sector health care spending and driving broader care delivery transformation in other states, as well. Adoption of the landmark care delivery transformation pilot in NJ has accelerated interest across the country from both public and private sector stakeholders. AAHCA is providing information to a range of interested parties in other states, and we are continuing our efforts to cultivate support among state legislators and administration officials, public and private sector union leaders, health plan payers and primary care providers through direct dialogue, testimony at public hearings, and various policy presentations. Throughout 2015, AAHCA has carried forward an advocacy effort to persuade major corporate employers and unionized employees in the meatpacking or "packinghouse" industry to find common ground in redesigning advanced direct primary care delivery for workers at meat packing plants located in communities across several Midwestern and Western states, including Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, and Colorado. As many of the packing house plants are the major employers in their relatively small, rural communities, our mission is to harness their potential to drive care delivery transformation that will reduce health costs and improve health outcomes for the entire populations of these communities by opening access for all local residents to advanced direct primary care that was developed, in the first stage, for unionized packing house workers. AAHCA is monitoring progress in three communities where he largest protein producer in the United States established pilot packinghouse health centers in 2014 following extensive dialogue with AAHCA and the union representing its packinghouse employees: 2 high-value primary care delivery programs were launched in Nebraska and 1 in Minnesota. By the end of 2015, the employer had agreed to expand primary care transformation, applying principles articulated by AAHCA, to 6 additional packinghouse plants. In the course of the year, another major packinghouse employer announced its intention to follow suit and launch transformed primary care delivery to their workers and dependents, applying its version of AAHCA healthcare delivery principles, at 6 of its plants in the Midwest and Western states.Back in 2014, AAHCA laid the foundation for a public Call to Action campaign challenging sponsors and trustees of self-funded, employment-based health plans that provide health care to 1/3 of all Americans to lead in high-value transformation fo America's health care. AAHCA views self-funded health plans as key strategic partners that have unparalleled flexibility to adopt care delivery innovations that can reduce healthcare costs, improve care quality, and expand access to high-value health care, not only to their own participants, but across their local communities and regions. Over the course of 2015, the AAHCA Call to Action campaign has continued to bring together self-funded health plan trustees and unions representing employee beneficiaries of self-funded plans to educate them about the guiding principles and benefits of high value care delivery design and engage them in acceleration of high-value care delivery transformation within their own employment-based health plans. Over the course of 2015, AAHCA made substantial progress in engaging Northern California employers and unions in a shared vision to, first, launch a network of high-value primary-care centers for local union families, and next, to open access to the high-value, primary care centers more broadly to other patients, employers, workers and their families in a process of regional care delivery transformation. Our educational efforts are seeing a growing interest among Northern California employers and local unions, and we are supporting initial steps toward implementation by unions and employers with the strongest capacity to become initial sponsors of high-value, direct primary care medical homes. 771332 false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true 6 0 true 3 true false false false false false true false false false false false false false X 27 25 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false X Mark Blum 2022231585 1025 Connecticut Avenue NW 907 Washington DC 20036 Douglas Dority President/Chair 13.00 0.00 X X 157500 0 23625 Jonathan Dinesman Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Morton Bahr Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Donald Bohn Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Clayola Brown Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Goodwin Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph Hunt Secretary/Treas 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Terence O'Sullivan Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph R Bock Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Perrone Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Blum Executive Direc 29.00 0.00 X X 223843 0 61667 Jeffrey Bond Director 6.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bernard Tyson Director 2.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 R Thomas Buffenbarger Director 8.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Edward McEllroy Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Edward M Smith Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Walter Wise Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matthew Loeb Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Janis Di Monaco Director 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 James P Hoffa Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 James Boland Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cecil E Roberts Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jacques Lovell Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Samuel Nussbaum Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Honorable Richard Gephardt Director 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Wendell Steinhauer Director 0.60 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cliff A Robertson Director 8.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 381343 85292 2 false true false Michael J Kapsa 2501 Porter St NW 916 WAshington DC 20008 Program Consulting 140032 1 350000 200000 550000 Education Fund Reimburse 541610 283659 283659 283659 296 296 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 833955 283659 296 X 87231 87231 0 0 0 466635 357872 57638 51125 0 48510 33957 9702 4851 2911 2038 582 291 10492 7921 1439 1132 25320 19166 3416 2738 0 1313 991 180 142 11338 8560 1555 1223 0 0 0 201151 197517 2034 1600 0 3617 2735 493 389 1467 1108 201 158 0 37605 28411 5145 4049 20680 18650 1136 894 0 0 0 0 686 518 94 74 3999 3019 548 432 Printing and Publications 777 587 106 84 Bank Service Charges 751 567 103 81 Licenses and Permits 643 643 Dues and Subscriptions 569 430 78 61 71 54 10 7 925766 771332 85103 69331 9000 8987 722441 291732 0 594656 892031 0 0 0 0 16258 11075 21381 20673 1394 708 0 0 0 0 4633 4646 1348382 1209179 14856 17464 50000 64856 17464 X 601150 1041715 682376 150000 1283526 1191715 1348382 1209179 -91811 X false false false RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1348 1301 47 17533 16872 661 2500 2500 708 true AA Healthcare Education Fund 1025 Connecticut Avenue NW Washington DC 20036 501(c)(3) 87231 0 Cash Granted New Jersey healthcare delivery 1 0 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used Grantee is a related organization : America's Agenda Healthcare Education Fund.
