SUMMARY:The 2023 C-TAC Advanced Care Transformation Index: Supporting Our State Champions to Create National Change
DESCRIPTION:If you’re looking for data and trends to make your case for improving care for those with serious illness at the state and regional level\, look to the 2023 ACT Index Report.  \nImplementing new policy recommendations for care delivery and services can be a multi-year\, complex effort. And one of the biggest challenges our state partners identify is securing early buy-in from policy makers\, payors\, foundations and other stakeholders in an action plan. Think of the Index as a compass that can help give you and your fellow stakeholders objective data supporting the direction of your plan. The Index can provide the foundation for common ground among all members of our coalition.   \nThis webinar will share updates and insights from the 2023 ACT Index Report and will offer examples for how you can use your state scorecard to develop an action plan for change.   \n  \nSpeakers: \nTorrie Fields\, MPH\, C-TAC Strategic Advisor & Managing Partner\, TFAnalytics \nLea Tessitore\, MSB\, MBA\, Director\, Health Equity and Outcomes\, Bioethicist\, TFAnalytics \n  \nFor registration and more information\, contact Jennifer Driscoll\, Operations Director at jdriscoll@thectac.org.

For those of us living in places taken from their original people\, such as the Americas and Australia\, please refer to Native Land Digital’s map to identify indigenous names of territories.\nWe honor all the visible and invisible abilities and disabilities. We agree to be receptive and proactive in exploring ways to make this experience accessible to those who are differently abled\, and to support each other with grace however possible.\nWe honor the diverse ancestry\, culture\, heritage\, complexion and racial identity of all those who are present.\nWe honor the various beliefs\, religions\, faiths\, creeds and spiritual inclinations of all people present. We agree to create a space where each person can express their faith without infringing on anyone else’s safety\, dignity or expression.\nWe honor all forms of gender expression and identity and are dedicated to gender equity. This means that whether someone identifies as a man\, woman\, transgender\, non binary or anything else\, they are welcomed and respected.\nWe honor all forms of sexual orientation. We are dedicated to supporting all people to love however is true for them\, as long as that expression does not harm anyone else.\nWe recognize that those present may have different levels of wealth\, access to resources\, statuses of documentation and migration\, political affiliation\, and agree to treat all present with dignity and respect as human beings.\nWe honor that everyone has a story\, other identities\, other challenges\, trauma\, resilience\, courage\, beauty and depth that cannot be covered in a list or understood in its totality.\nWe recognize that in most parts of our world\, many if not all of these variables can determine the safety\, health\, dignity and freedom of individuals and communities\, and we strive for a better way.\n\n\n  \nPlease note that this is a private event for those that attended C-TAC and Reimagine’s JEDI Workshop in LA in September.
