Individuals representing local mental health and other child-serving agencies, including education, child welfare, health, juvenile justice, early childhood, and substance abuse systems, together with families and youth, are encouraged to attend, as well as state-level partners from all of these sectors.

Learning What Works: Infrastructure Required to Learn Which Care is Best
http://www.iom.edu/CMS/28312/RT-EBM/55282.aspx
Assessments of the quality and efficiency of the nation’s healthcare delivery system find its performance far too often inconsistent, expensive, inequitable, and sometimes harmful--certainly delivering overall value far below what should be expected. Especially in the face of a steady increase in new diagnostic and treatment options, this is in part a result of underinvestment in the development of evidence on the relative effectiveness of different choices. The Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) Roundtable on Evidence-Based Medicine is sponsoring a series of workshops to explore issues, strategies and opportunities for the development of a learning healthcare system—one structured to ensure that each patient receives the right care at the right time.

Effective Use of Metrics in Social Work Practice in Health Care
This invitational summit will bring together social work leaders currently engaged in measuring important aspects of social work practice, outcomes, and performance measures especially as they relate to the cost and quality of care. We know social problems increase the cost of care; we need measures to demonstrate that. This two day summit will include a series of presentations interwoven with discussion and planning. The goal is the creation of a measurement tool that can be replicated for health care settings across the health care continuum. Particular areas of interest include measures of psychosocial acuity, meaningful productivity measures, impact of social work interventions on the institutional “bottom line’, and the relationship of social acuity to the cost and clinical outcomes of care. Travel and expenses will be covered for invited participants funded through a grant provided by the Cleveland Clinic Department of Social Work with additional support from the Society for Social Work Leadership in Health Care. As this is a ‘working meeting’– only a very small number of participants will be invited to participate. If you believe you have something to add to this discussion, please submit a 1-2 page description of your current practice in measuring social work practice as described above. The abstracts should be sent to Alice Palmer of the Cleveland Clinic Department of Social Work at PALMERA2@ccf.org and to Charles L. Robbins, President of the Society for Social Work Leadership in Health Care at crobbins@notes.cc.sunysb.edu.
