At the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, we believe that health and healthcare systems should be designed and coordinated with the context of people’s everyday lives in mind, so that people are at the center of every model and policy decision. We are working to ensure that these systems are more closely aligned to meet those needs, by supporting programs which are helping to:
- Enable and promote connections across healthcare, social service and public health systems to meet the needs of individuals and communities;
- Ensure consumers are able to make informed decisions about their care;
- Track trends in health insurance markets to help policymakers make informed decisions about healthcare coverage;
- Increase the ability of state Medicaid programs and health systems to improve health equity; and
- Focus on people’s voices, priorities, goals and needs to ensure that advancing equity is at the core of all of our efforts.
By working across sectors, we have the opportunity to create the kind of health system everyone in our nation deserves: one that couples care with compassion, rewards value over volume, and places health at the center of every aspect of life.
