Data Across Sectors for Health (DASH)

The DASH National Program Office (NPO) is led by the Illinois Public Health Institute (IPHI) in partnership with the Michigan Public Health Institute (MPHI), with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The DASH NPO is assisting communities across the country as they develop, implement, and evaluate multi-sector data sharing projects addressing a range of public health challenges. By growing our understanding of data sharing strategies and disseminating an evidence base for the field, we aim to increase the number, capacity, and quality of community data sharing initiatives so that ultimately, effective interventions and policies are developed to improve community health.

Network for Public Health Law

Public health laws are critical because they can dramatically improve the health of a population, and in a relatively short period of time. But knowing how to enforce, implement or change a law is complex and time-consuming and requires specialized expertise. The Network for Public Health Law (Network) provides that assistance, along with resources and training to public health officials, practitioners, advocates and attorneys so that they can make full use of the law as a tool to improve health outcomes.

Population Health Innovation Lab (PHIL)

The Public Health Insitute’s (PHI) Population Health Innovation Lab (PHIL) designs, catalyzes and accelerates innovative approaches that advance health outcomes and well-being. In the same way that Silicon Valley creates lasting change through new perspectives on old challenges, PHIL uses new approaches, new technologies, and new partnerships to develop solutions for our communities’ most complex problems—and then share and spread what works. Working directly with communities in need, PHIL moves beyond the symptoms to address the root issues and the systems at the heart of the challenge. We bring together a wide range of communities, innovators, funders, and public health professionals to use new tools and methodologies in new ways.

Past Partners

Community Health Peer Learning (CHP) Program

From June 2015 to July 2017, the AcademyHealth Community Health Peer Learning (CHP) Program built community capacity to advance progress toward population health improvements through the expanded capture, sharing, and use of electronic health data from diverse sectors. In partnership with the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, the CHP program engaged 15 communities in a peer learning collaborative to identify data solutions, accelerate local progress, and disseminate best practices and lessons learned. Collaborating with NORC at the University of Chicago, and the National Partnership for Women & Families, the CHP Program helped participating communities to inform national strategy and align with other delivery system reform efforts driving toward better care, smarter spending, and healthier people.
