2014 Annual Report Texas Health Institute
He who has health, has hope; and he who has
hope, has everything. -Thomas Carlyle
Improving the health
of Texans and their
communities
An independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit think tank, Texas Health Institute (THI)
pursues solutions to accomplish quality, access, and cost effectiveness in population
health. Our mission is to improve the health of people and their communities.
Through participation and collaboration, THI works with communities on solutions.
Believing community engagement is essential to this process, the wisdom of com-
munity stakeholders provides THI with the varied and individual perspectives that
can result in successful and innovative interventions and improved outcomes. These
insights serve to guide our efforts in health education, awareness, prevention, and
policy development.
At Texas Health Institute, we “listen, tell, and guide.” Because the best possible
decisions are made when stakeholders: business, community leaders, government,
consumers, insurers, and suppliers/providers of health care, use fair and balanced
information. These decisions affect our health today and will shape the health of
generations to come.
Eliminating “silos”, collaborating to share resources,
and facilitating dialogue is essential for success in
addressing quality, access, and cost issues in health
care.
We live by the words of Margaret Mead, “Never
doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed
people can change the world; indeed, it's the only
thing that ever has."

Texas Health Institute Values
Improving capacity at state and local levels to improve health and better manage and prevent chronic diseases facing Texas communities,
Fostering collaboration with national, statewide, and local stakeholders such as universities and employer groups,
Emphasizing evidence-based best and promising practices ap-proaches to health promotion and disease prevention,
Serving as a resource for Texas and the nation for implement-ing strategies in health promotion and disease prevention,
Evaluating and disseminating outcomes from THI projects through journal publications, presentations and toolkits, and
Using research to guide program development and implemen-tation.
In 2014, we traveled the roads of Texas and beyond.
Texas Health Institute (THI) worked with community leaders setting
their target on making a difference in their community’s health. We
traveled to College Station coordinating with Texas A&M University’s
School of Public Health and Texas Agri-Life and spent time in Austin
working with the University of Texas School of Public Health—Dell
Children's Medical Center of Central Texas to prevent childhood obesity
in Texas. THI headed up the highway for community health work in
both Bell and Williamson County. Planning and implementing our
newest project, Texas Health Solutions efforts sent THI staff to West
Texas, Amarillo, Central Texas and East Texas. We headed in every
direction—east, west, north, and south with outreach efforts in Houston,
Dallas, El Paso, and Amarillo, all to improve the health of Texans and
their communities.
THI worked with stakeholders to initiate a Community Behavioral
Health Assessment for Montgomery County and with Gateway to Care
to promote the Connecting Kids and Families project in Montgomery,
Liberty, Waller, and surrounding counties. We partnered with Texas
Medical Home Initiative to provide a successful Health Home Summit
for the second year in a row.
Lay Caregivers gathered together in San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, and
Austin to learn about advance planning with and for their loved ones, as
we conducted THI’s Lay Caregiver Initiative.
THI team members traveled across the country. Our health equity re-
search team presented at a variety of conference and seminars, including
events in California and Connecticut. President Camille Miller co-
chaired the Communities Joined in Action Annual Conference in De-
troit, Michigan.
THI takes lessons learned and solutions discovered, sharing the solu-
tions with communities throughout Texas and across the country.
Within the pages of this annual report, you will find THI working out-
side of Texas— with our 8th Annual 16-State Southern Obesity Sum-
mit and our 8-State collaborative work in genetics and genomics in the
Mountain states.
Throughout 2014, THI forged new partnerships and cemented treasured
ones across the state and across the nation that achieved tangible results,
improving the health of people and their communities.

Our History:
Texas Health Institute began in 1964 as the Texas Hospital Education and Research
Foundation, a non-profit charitable 501(c)(3) organization. Recognizing that health care was
changing, that the number of uninsured persons in Texas was growing, and that managed
care organizations were expanding their market share, the Texas Hospital Association
(THA) authorized the transformation of the Foundation into the Texas Institute for Health
Policy Research (TIHPR) in 1996, with a primary focus on policy research to understand
and evaluate the new health world.
In late 2005, the TIHPR began merger discussions with the Texas Health Foundation, which
existed as a partnership between governmental public health agencies and a private non-
profit charitable [also a 501(c)(3)] foundation dedicated to supporting the programs of the
Texas Department of Health. An agreement between the organizations in 2007 resulted in
the emergence of a single entity, named Texas Health Institute.
The Texas Hospital Education and Research Foundation and the Public Health Foundation
have each been in existence over 50 years. These combined histories in public health and
health care have resulted in an organization which serves as a catalyst for change.
Our Vision:
To become a nationally recognized defining resource and catalyst for innovations that
improve the health of people and their communities.
Our Mission:
To improve the health of people and their communities.

In October 2014, the 8th Annual Southern Obesity Summit took place in Louisville, Kentucky pre-
sented by THI and Shaping Kentucky's Future Collaborative. Attendees came
together to learn, collaborate and to help their individual states plan their obesity
prevention strategy. The Sunday Townhall featured: Larry Cohen, Executive
Director, The Prevention Institute; Stephanie K. Mayfield Gibson, Commis-
sioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health; David Jones, Jr., Chair-
man, Chrysalis Ventures; General Allen Youngman (ret.), Mission: Readiness,
and was facilitated by William D. Hacker, MD, FAAP, Kentucky Commissioner
of Health 2004-2011.
The agenda also included: Jessica Lawrence, MS, Cairn Guidance, Inc.; Leon T.
Andrews, Jr., Program Director, National League of Cities' Youth, Education &
Families; Jasmine N. Hall Ratliff, Program Officer, The Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation; Richard Hamburg, Deputy Director, Trust for America's Health and Whitney Meagher,
Project Director, National Association of State Boards of Education. SOS included 60 breakout ses-
sions, poster presentations, pillar workgroup meetings, state team meetings and exhibits.

Thoughts Shared by 2014 SOS attendees…
“As a result of networking connections made at the obesity summit, we have partnered with Childcare Aware for
a NACCHO breastfeeding grant. I was also able to connect with Youth Empowered Solutions for youth advo-
cacy training. Finally, I was able to take back information from the presentations as well as from the vendors.”
“I have been fortunate to attend the last three Southern Obesity Summits. It seems every year there is a greater
impact on my career. This year, I attribute a wealth of knowledge, as well as key networking, directly to partici-
pating in the conference. First, the keynote speakers were unique, informative, and displayed a wealth of knowl-
edge across all facets of health…. I have since reached out to numerous people that I met during the conference
to ask questions based on their expertise. This not only benefits myself, but my organization as well. I look for-
ward to improving the health and wellness of Texas using skills/knowledge received from the Summit.”
“Information sharing has greatly impacted our efforts. I work in the early childhood realm, and I learned SO
much from the other states. I will now use this knowledge to inform our programming efforts. It really helps to
hear from colleagues that work in a similar climate (e.g., political, economic, geographic, etc.). Before SOS, I
was not sure how to reach out to early childhood programs, but the pillar workgroup gave me ideas on how to
pick sites and pilot programs.”
“We have hired a worksite wellness coordinator to initiate wellness for our business community. This was our
first year participating. For the SOS being in Louisville was a HUGE plus to our attendance.”
The Southern Obesity Summit (SOS) began with seed capital
from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation as a spinoff project
of the Southern Rural Access Program, a seven-year initiative to
improve access to care. The Southern Rural Access Program’s
National Advisory Committee was led by Regina Benjamin,
M.D., MBA, the current United States Surgeon General.
Texas Health Institute (THI) and Arkansas Center for
Health Improvement partnered to put on the inaugural SOS
in Little Rock in 2007. Since Little Rock, the SOS has been
held in Birmingham, AL (2008), Austin, TX (2009), Atlanta,
GA (2010), New Orleans, LA (2011), Charlotte, NC (2012),
Nashville, TN (2013) Louisville, KY (2014).

The Mountain States Genetics Regional Collaborative (MSGRC) is one of seven regional collabora-
tives covering the nation. The MSGRC covers an 8 state region (Region 6) that includes Arizona, Colo-
rado, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Texas, Utah and Wyoming. MSGRC is federally funded
through the US Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA), Genetic Services Branch. THI administers the MSGRC with Dr. Celia Kaye, Project Director and
Dr. Kathy Hassell as Deputy Project Director. MSGRC ensures that individuals with heritable disorders
and their families have access to quality care and appropriate genetic expertise and information in the con-
text of a medical home. It facilitates regional collaboration, encourages involvement of diverse popula-
tions, and supports innovative mini-projects that inform quality improvement and systems change in the
newborn screening and clinical genetics health care delivery systems. These collaborative efforts bring
together clinical providers, public health professionals, and affected individuals and families to fulfill the
MSGRC mission.
The eight states are geographically and so-
ciologically diverse. The region spans from
the border of Mexico to the border of Can-
ada and has a large concentration of both
Hispanic and Native American populations.
It includes a majority of the nation’s frontier
counties, making access to and delivery of
genetic services a challenge. This region
also has a large number of health profes-
sional shortage areas and medically under-
served areas and populations. With over
600,000 births annually, ensuring access to
coordinated and comprehensive genetic
services is a priority.
MSGRC develops, coordinates and sustains
collaborative projects in Region 6 to ensure
that individuals with heritable disorders and
their families have access to quality care
and appropriate genetic expertise and infor-
mation in the context of a medical home. It supports the work of six workgroups, including: Newborn
Screening, Consumer Advocacy, Telemedicine, Emergency Preparedness, Medical Home, and Health
Information Technology. MSGRC is also a key partner in the Newborn Screening Clearinghouse and
Congenital Conditions Program, led by the Genetic Alliance.
2014 Activities
In 2012, THI was awarded a 5 year MSGRC grant and the grant year 3
began on June 1, 2014.
Regional and national program evaluation was underway.
Supplemental funds were received to develop a strategic plan for imple-
mentation of electronic family history tools in the Region.
Working with other Regional Collaboratives (RC) to identify opportuni-
ties to work on activities related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Funding was received for developing care plans and billing templates for
PKU and Sickle Cell Anemia under ACA.
MSGRC’s abstract “Provision of medical home services to individuals with genetic disorders and spe-
cial healthcare needs in rural and Native American communities” was accepted and the poster was pre-
sented at the University of Miami Health Disparities and Genomics conference.
Parent Partners project continued in 7 clinics in Wyoming and Montana. MSGRC worked with state
partners to develop surveys for families. The aim is to analyze data to show an evidence-based model
that can be followed.
The Hemoglobinopathies workgroup convened in Denver, CO, in November 2014 with
representatives from all 8 states in region.
MSGRC Priority Areas
1. Enhance collaboration within MSGRC, with National Partners, and with other Regional Collaboratives
2. Treat genetic disorders (and risk factors) in the context of a medical home
3. Contextually use the role of cultural competence and diversity to adopt innovative outreach projects
4. Build capacity in state public health departments to enhance and sustain the delivery of newborn and child screening and genetic follow-up and treatment services
5. Strengthen public-private partnerships, communication, and collaboration
6. Collaborate and partner with HRSA MCHB-funded programs that promote the scaling up of effective practices
7. Expand state and regional collaborative systems of cohorts of patients for long-term monitoring and analysis of follow-up and treatment
8. Continue to address Emergency Preparedness with state laboratories, clinical genetic centers, and families
Anticipated Outcomes
Enhanced delivery of genetic services and newborn screening
Expanded the infrastructure for genetic services
Improved care coordination for people with heritable disorders
Improved access to and delivery of genetic and newborn
screening services for people with heritable disorders
Improved emergency backup systems for newborn screening
services

eLearning:
THI launched an eLearning program in the last quarter of
2014. THI received two major grants to kick off this
work.
In September, Health Resources and Services Administra-
tion (HRSA) awarded the Region 6 South Central Public
Health Training Center to Tulane School of Public Health
and Tropical Medicine (Tulane SPHTM). Tulane organized the four organization consortium to de-
velop public health training for Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. THI serves
as the Local Service Provider (LPS) for Texas and is the only public health institute among the 39
LPS sites. We join the University of New Mexico and University of Oklahoma in this four year grant
to deliver high quality, leading edge content to public health professionals. Dr. LuAnn White, senior
associate dean for academic affairs and admissions and Professor, Director of the Tulane Center for
Applied Environmental Public Health is the principal investigator. Camille Miller is the Chair of the
Practice Advisory Board. John Oeffinger is co-principal investigator responsible for the Texas LPS.
In October, THI and Tulane SPHTM were awarded another major grant by NNPHI funded by Centers
for Disease Control (CDC). “Integrated Pest Management eLearning Training” will convert CDC’s
“Biology and Control of Vectors and Public Health Pests” 3-day, in-person course to an online cur-
riculum. It is expected that the course curriculum will be hosted on Tulane SPHTM’s eLearning man-
agement system. Dr. LuAnn White is co-principal investigator and Tulane will handle the learning
outcomes evaluation.
This is a collaborative course development program designed for the environmental health profes-
sional. An important innovation is the MyPlan and MyCQI components for each course. MyPlan is
designed for the environmental health professional to write an action plan in how they will implement
their new knowledge. MyCQI is cross-walked with Public Health Accreditation Board’s domains so
the learner can generate documentation for their organization’s PHAB accreditation application.

eLearning Course Development and Deployment
The Institute of Medicine
reported that “it now takes
an average of 17 years for
new knowledge generated
by randomized clinical
trials to be incorporated
into practice, and even
then, application is highly
uneven.” This statement
can also be said about the
application of new knowl-
edge among public health
practitioners. One means
to reduce the length of
time it takes to learn new
practitioner-based knowl-
edge is to deliver eLearn-
ing courses, extending the
reach of in-person courses
to a larger audience.
eLearning, or web-based
education and training
course development and
deployment, positions THI
as an innovative leader in
providing online education
courses to local health
departments, the public
health community, and
other stakeholders.
THI Community Health Programs and Training Research shows that health outcomes for any community are impacted by social and environ-
mental factors known as “social determinants of health.” Our health is impacted by our ethnicity,
income, education, literacy, housing status, ZIP Code, mental health, air quality, access to nutrition
and physical activity among many other factors. In Texas, research conducted by the University
of Texas Health Science Center-Tyler has recently shown that local policy decisions – passing
comprehensive smoke-free ordinances, for example – have a direct and measurable impact on im-
proved mortality. Strong collaborative efforts at a local level are necessary to successfully impact
local policy. At Texas Health Institute we view all health issues through the lens of commu-
nity. (see more of our community work on pages 14 & 15 of this report.)
The second Texas Primary Care and Health Home Summit presented by Texas Health Institute and the
Texas Medical Home Initiative was held May 8-9, 2014 in Austin at the Westin hotel. The 2014 Summit
was designed to introduce the concept of the health/medical home to first-time attendees and to build on
last year’s Summit for those that attended the inaugural Summit.
More than 200 people from all parts of Texas attended the
Summit. Attendees had the option to participate in one of four
in-depth pre-Summit sessions on topics including Health
Home 101 (anatomy and physiology of the health home);
Health Home 201 (lessons learned from practices who have
transformed to health homes); integrating behavioral health into
primary care and the role of information technology in the health
home.
The conference officially began with a plenary luncheon and an
address by Amy Gibson, Chief Operating Officer of the Patient-
Centered Primary Care Collaborative. Ms. Gibson gave an over-
view of the history and current state of the health/medical home in
the US. The afternoon was devoted to five concurrent workshops
that were repeated.
Topics included health homes for young adults with special health-
care needs; maternal-fetal health homes; presentation of a success-
ful health home model from the physician and payer perspective;
overview of the medical neighborhood and a case study in physician aggregation.
Friday morning featured an address by Drs. Christine and Tom Sinsky, internists from Dubuque, Iowa who
presented their research on innovations in primary care practice. Concurrent workshops took place both days
and topics included creating a health home in a resident clinic; an adolescent health home project; improved
transitions in care; patient engagement; overview of the Medicaid 1115 waiver projects and use of health
care workers in medical home projects; integration of behavioral health into primary care.
The meeting closed with a panel discussion moderated by Dr. Ken Shine on moving forward with the health
home model of care in Texas.
Panelists included: Dr. David Lakey, Commissioner of Health; Kay Ghahremani, Associate Commissioner for
Medicaid and CHIP; Jamie Dudensing, Policy Director for Lt. Governor Dewhurst, and Dr. Robert Morrow,
Medical Director for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas.

On a beautiful Saturday in March, for THI's Spring Music Series and Fundraiser, we gather in Henly, Texas at the West Henly Country
Club. We honored Dr. Kenneth Shine with
the Fratis L. Duff Award, the highest honor given
in Texas for contributions in Public Health.
We wore our boots, jeans, and a few wore cowboy
hats. We enjoyed the musical artistry of Texas
greats: Marcia Ball, Stan Smith, Willie Alva-
rado, Patricia Vonne, and the poetry shared by
2013 Poet Laureate of Texas, Rosemary Cata-
calos. Chef Wes Ondrias delighted the crowd with
delicious barbecue and all the fixings, and cold
beverages hit the spot in the sunny hill country
day. It was a pleasure to spend the day with such
great company — friends and family — and have
the privilege of honoring a significant contributor
to the public health of Texas, Dr. Kenneth Shine.
The Fratis L. Duff Memorial
Award is given in memory
and recognition of Dr.
Duff’s years of service to the
Texas Department of
Health. The award was es-
tablished in 1990 to recog-
nize outstanding contribu-
tions to public health in
Texas and is the most re-
spected award in the state
for public health.

THI has been involved in health equity research and programs since 1999, and with the leadership of Senior
Research Scientist, Dennis Andrulis, PhD, MPH, who has over 20 years of national, state and local experi-
ence in health disparities and cultural competence research, programs and policies, THI has significantly
expanded its capacity and skills in this programmatic priority.
With ongoing support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation (2011-2015)
THI has been monitoring and reporting on the implementation progress
of over 60 provisions in the ACA with significant opportunity and
implications for addressing longstanding health disparities in the U.S.
As part of this work, THI has released half a dozen reports, and pre-
sented this work nationally to raise awareness, inform advocacy and
policy, and share best practices. Building on this initiative, THI has
also been monitoring the opportunities and challenges of the new law
for safety-net hospitals systems, with research published in Health
Affairs, and a recent report documenting payment and delivery re-
forms, Medicaid 1115 Waiver activities, and other innovations.
With support from W.K. Kellogg Foundation, The California Endow-
ment and the Connecticut Health Foundation in 2014, THI is develop-
ing a set of novel health equity report cards for health insurance mar-
ketplaces in two leading reform states—California and Connecticut.
These report cards are intended to highlight progress, successes and gaps in reaching and enrolling racially
and ethnically diverse populations, who comprise a large majority of those eligible for marketplace cover-
age yet are often hard to reach and enroll. Findings from these leading states are intended to inform other
states as they work to improve programs and policies for reaching diverse populations.
THI also continues to address other major topics from a health equity perspective, including emergency
preparedness, climate change, community resilience, and regionalization of care. With support from the
Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies and the Kresge Foundation THI completed two reports—
one providing a multi-state baseline inventory of climate change data, research, programs and policies, and
a second documenting opportunities for building community resilience to climate change. The former
gained considerable attention, including a local NPR radio and online article featuring Nadia Siddiqui,
THI’s Senior Health Policy Analyst.
Health Equity Presentations Across the Country in 2014
THI Health Equity Program Staff continue to present their work at major scientific and community
venues across the country, including those sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, Institute of Medi-
cine, American Public Health Association, Kaiser Family Foundation, Congressional Black Caucus, Vet-
eran’s Health Administration, Families USA, among many others. These presentations are intended to in-
form research, advocacy, policy, program development, and public health practice to advance a health care
system that is equitable for all populations.
Following are examples of presentations:
Dr. Andrulis was the keynote at a conference on building an equitable health care delivery system con-
vened by the National Academy for State Health Policy for federal and state decision makers. Highlight-
ing current work on the transformation of the health care safety net, a project supported by the Blue
Shield of California Foundation, he highlighted adaptation strategies around collaboration, cost-
containment, and managing transformation. He also discussed challenges moving forward especially to
balance traditional fee for service revenues with the
move toward population health.
Dr. Andrulis was featured in the Harvard Political
Review on November 26, 2014, sharing his senti-
ments on the heightening accounts of xenophobia
following the emergence of Ebola.
Ms. Siddiqui was invited to present a seminar on the
ACA and health equity at the Translational Health
Disparities two-week Course sponsored by NIH’s
National Institute for Minority Health and Health
Disparities.

CAREGIVING LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES
Camille Miller has developed and piloted a workshop enti-tled, Seasons of our Your Life, which is based on the work of Parker Palmer. Ms. Miller has recognized that we are all destined to be caregivers or care receivers. This interactive workshop leads participants through a personal exercise that pro-vides a picture of the “Hidden Wholeness” each of us possess to cope with life’s challenges.
Amy Praskac was engaged to provide a second workshop entitled On the Road: Ad-vance Planning. This work-shop provides training on advance planning, record keeping and organization. This important workshop teaches attendees how to address frequently neglected aspects of end-of-life plan-ning and receive tips on how to fill the gaps in their record keeping.
A key component of the program will be an extensive website that serves as a Resource of Resources for the lay and professional caregiver and which pro-vides sponsorship opportuni-ties for entities that provide services and good to the caregiver. Ease of navigation and comprehensive informa-tion will be the underlying goal for the site’s develop-ment. There exist many re-sources on the web for care-givers most of which are restricted to membership, geographic area, specific population or particular condition.
In 2014, THI in collaboration with the Texas Team launched the Lay Caregiver Initia-
tive. Together we act as neutral conveners, facilitating balanced dialogue and creating a
vision of improved care giving for all Texans. The critical role that family and friend care-
givers play in our state's healthcare system, the financial impact of caregiving on our econ-
omy and the importance of the 3,720,000 hours that Texas caregivers have provided at an
estimated economic worth of $34 billion per year is
important to sustain. Together THI and Texas Team
listen to caregivers health care solutions, provide
important educational resources, and through the
process of discovery provide policy solutions. The
past 10 years have given us a new generation of
caregivers with complex challenges that require
comprehensive initiatives that can offer the best
chance at an acceptable quality of life.
Funded by BCBSTX, Houston Oil Production Enterprises, Inc. & private donations, THI
began conducting classes and engaging communities to start the gears turning to bring the
topic of caregiving to the forefront.
Lay Caregiver Initiative
In March 2014, Rick Hernandez was hired to serve as program director for the Lay Care-
giver Initiative. THI staff is collaborating with the Texas Team, a regional action coali-
tion (http://www.texasnurses.org), composed of a diverse array of stakeholders, charged
with transforming the health of Texans through nursing.
The County Health Rankings & Roadmaps (CHR&R) provide an easy-to-use snapshot comparing the over-
all health of nearly every county in the nation. The rankings illustrate that where someone lives influences
how well and how long someone will live. Good health includes many factors beyond medical care.
CHR&R is produced by the University of Wisconsin Population Institute with major funding by the Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation.
CHR&R program helps communities identify and implement solutions that make it easier for people to be
health in their schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods. THI was awarded funds to promote the release of
the 2014 County Health Rankings in Texas Report. THI worked with closely with the Texas Department of
Health Services to distribute the report. THI has been the lead Texas partner since the state program was
created in 2009. Our 2014 effort ensured each of the 254 Texas county judges received the printed report.
This was an important step since county judges significantly influence funding for county efforts to address
local health issues.
THI also coordinated the state communications program with numerous state and local media about County
Health Rankings and their importance. THI staff made a presentation to Texas Medical Association’s Com-
mittee on Rural Health describing THI’s five year effort with CHR&R and explaining the data sets and
ranking methodology. THI completed the 2014 project with a webinar featuring THI Board member,
George Roberts, FACHE, who described the Northeast Texas Public Health District’s use of the County Health
Rankings in the creation and operation of FitCity Tyler. FitCity Tyler has had resounding local community support
with citizens taking advantage of the program to reduce their weight.
Summary Health Outcomes & Health Factors
Rankings
Counties received two ranks:
Health Outcomes
Health Factors
Each of these ranks represented a weighted summary of
a number of measures. Health outcomes represent how
healthy a county is while health factors represent what
influences the health of the county. To the right is the
ranking of the top ten counties in Texas in each cate-
gory.
THRIVE, developed by the Prevention Institute (PI) and distributed in partnership through the National Network of
Public Health Institutes (NNPHI), is a community approach to address health disparities. PI updated its Community
Approach to Addressing Disparities in Health with the revision of THRIVE in 2014.
A centerpiece of THRIVE is a set of community level factors that are linked to Healthy People 2010 Leading Health
Indicators. It now features a simplified list of thirteen factors to facilitate use of the tool at the local level. THI at-
tended a NNPHI sponsored training workshop in January, 2014 and a second one in December 2014. THI staff met
with Chip Riggins, MD, MPH, then Executive Director, Williamson County and Cities Health District (WCCHD)
and members of his staff to determine their interest in piloting THRIVE in a Williamson County community. THI
completed a THRIVE “Train the Trainer” session with Melissa Cammack, MS, CHES (Director of Healthy Commu-
nities) and Kristen Eastman, MPH (Community Coordinator) in October in Taylor, Texas. Together, WCCHD and
THI identified four types of communities to use the THRIVE tool in:
Low income with limited access neighborhood in Taylor
farming areas outside of Taylor
a neighborhood in Georgetown that organizes a yearly health fair
a school working to integrate initiatives with parents and students to increase grades and reduce absences.
WCCHD initiated a meeting with the Georgetown Health Foundation to explore opportunities to help fund one or
more of the community initiatives as a follow-up to the training. THI staff will incorporate THRIVE in our Texas
Health Solutions Toolbox, even though funding was not secured to purse the Williamson County work.

Texas Health Solutions Program Planning and Development Work in 2014
THI and TPPF began the development and planning of Texas Health Solutions (THS) in February, 2014. THS staff
initially started meeting with individuals and organizations in South Texas, then expanded its efforts to other parts of the
state including the Panhandle, West Texas and along the U.S./Mexico Border, East Texas and Central Texas. These
“listen, tell, guide” engagements took place in small focus groups, with key community leaders using key informant
interviews, and with members of the press. Community meetings included engagements discussing rural, urban, and
suburban health care delivery; health insurance or the lack of it in selected areas; the impact of Medicaid and Medicare
on specific populations; Veterans and active duty military personnel and their family’s care; and, the ability or inability
for Texans to gain access to affordable and quality care in their community.
The result is a better understanding and appreciation of “sick” or episodic-driven health care as we know it in 2014 and
the beginning of the move toward whole population or public health care with new payment and/or delivery models.
Each of the state’s regions offers a different dynamic based in large part on the local community’s leadership and cul-
ture, general public attitudes towards health care, the health care providers involved in delivering care and how they
view their organization’s future.
Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) and Texas Health Institute (THI) are partnering to facilitate the implementation of
Texas Health Solutions. The end result of Texas Health Solutions (THS) will be the development of unique ac-
countable healthy communities that improve the overall health of the community and lower costs for the whole com-
munity’s population. Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute (MMHPI) will provide behavioral health expertise.
Created and operated by local community leaders, in collaboration with TPPF, THI and MMHPI, the community
driven programs will maximize flexibility to design and implement health care demonstration projects starting with
behavioral health and focusing on veterans and their families; children; and people in the criminal justice system,
thus impacting the entire community. The results will demonstrate how Texans can transform health care by creat-
ing healthy communities. Healthy communities will result in increasing quality and access while lowering cost of
health care.
THS will use a Collective Impact framework in four Texas communities. This framework is based on the StriveTo-
gether Partnership experience which addressed cradle to career education in a community. It is important to note that this is
not a “model” as there is no single method for implementing the framework in a community. Instead, this framework acts
as a guide for those willing to commit over the long-term to develop the right infrastructure that meets the unique needs of
their community.
This project will build on THI’s successful Shared Vision for Health Care in Texas Project to RAISE Health Care in
Texas. In 2005, leaders in Texas developed the following principles to RAISE the health of Texans:
Regional solutions for regional differences—but within a statewide strategic framework.
Access for all - a rational system for access to care other than through the emergency room.
Incentives for personal responsibility - engaging all stakeholders in realigning incentives
to produce outcomes the community desires.
Sound use of resources - ensuring that all current resources are contributing to the outcomes
the community desires.
Education about consequences - identifying both the intended and unintended conse-
quences of making changes before making a change.
Four health transformation communities are taking part in the project. They are geographically located in Central Texas,
East Texas, the Panhandle, and West Texas/Border. Each community will identify metrics to define the financial and health
challenges individuals and families face in today’s health care system; develop and implement strategies to improve the
metrics; and monitor and evaluate the results. Data collection, sharing, monitoring, and public display through a community
dashboard are important tasks. Results will be evaluated both quantitatively and qualitatively through outcome measures
and community narratives. THS communities will meet as a Learning Community to share best practices, and lessons
learned. The findings of this project will be disseminated among health care policy decision-makers, and will form the cor-
nerstone for transformation of America’s fragmented health care system, based on a community designed and community
driven framework.
TPPF is the project lead on policy development, THI is the lead on community capacity building and technical assistance,
and MMHPI will provide behavioral health expertise.
Doing together what none of us can do alone; we will transform health care by creating healthy communities.

PREVENTION From the World
Health Organization, “many factors
combine together to affect the
health of individuals and
communities. Whether people are
healthy or not, is determined by
their circumstances and environ-
ment.” THI invites discussion,
develops opportunities for study,
and working with communities,
encourages solutions for disease
prevention and population health.
Ron J. Anderson, MD
Ron J. Anderson, MD died on
September 11, 2014.
A kind and brilliant servant
leader, Dr. Anderson served on
the Board of Trustees for Texas
Health Institute for 17 years.
In 2014, THI established the:
Ron J. Anderson Memorial
Fund. THI President, Camille
Miller said, "We have all lost a
dear friend and the epitome of
a Servant Leader. My friend,
our board member, an incredi-
ble family man and a man of
God will be missed terribly.
We will honor him at Texas
Health Institute by establishing
the Ron J. Anderson Memorial
Fund .”
THI established the Memorial
Fund to continue the work that
Dr. Anderson started in Dal-
las—his dream to establish a
"Dallas Community Health
Institute."
While serving on THI’s Board,
Dr. Anderson presented the
concept of a Dallas Community
Health Institute to the board in
May of 2013. The board ap-
proved it unanimously.
“We have been working with
him on this and talked last
about it the day before
he received his diagnosis.
We look forward to being
a part of making one of his
dreams come true.” shared
Camille Miller.
Texas Health Institute is
raising money to launch
the Ron J. Anderson
Community Health
Institute in
Dallas, Texas.
Dr. Ron J. Anderson, M.D., RPh., a native Oklahoman, came to Dallas to do an Internal Medicine Resi-
dency after graduating from Medical School at OUHSC in Oklahoma City in 1973. He finished his post-
graduate medical training at UTSW affiliated hospitals (Parkland and the Dallas VA) including a Chief
Residency in 1976. Dr. Anderson served as President and CEO of Park-
land from January, 1982 through December, 2011.
Nationally, Dr. Anderson served as:
Chairman of the National Association of Public Hospitals
Chairman of the National Public Health and Hospital Institute
Member of the Association of Academic Health Centers
Commissioner of Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured
Board member of the American Hospital Association, and
Elected member of the Institute of Medicine.
At the State level, Dr. Anderson served as
Chairman of Texas Hospital Association
Chairman of Teaching Hospitals of Texas
Chairman of Dallas Hospital Council
Member of DFWHC's Foundation for Education and Research, and
Chair of Texas Health Institute Board of Trustees.
Dr. Anderson was an avid supporter of THI and served with integrity and compassion. The values and
professionalism that he exhibited throughout his 30 year tenure at Parkland, he brought to the THI Board
table as a servant leader.
From Camille D. Miller, President/Chief Executive Officer:
Each year at Texas Health Institute, we work hard to improve the
health of Texans and their communities. We believe that all
health is local and throughout 2014, we worked in communities
across the state to learn, to teach, and to accomplish our mission.
2014 also marked the passing of our dear friend and longtime
THI advocate, Dr. Ron J. Anderson. Dr. Anderson served as a trustee on the THI
Board for many years and was my colleague and friend for the past 20 years. His
energy and vision will be sorely missed and his inspiring leadership will be the
fuel that takes us to greater levels in the coming years. Our efforts in 2015 and
beyond will be focused on fulfilling his legacy of improving health and health
care for all of the people of Texas. We are excited to begin the implementation of
the Ron J. Anderson Community Health Institute in the Dallas area. Its mission
will be to focus on community engagement, health policy, strategic planning,
and research and training in health.
Upon Dr. Anderson’s death, Steve Love, president of the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital
Council was quoted in the Dallas Morning News, “Anderson was a giant of North
Texas health care...he championed the plight of the most vulnerable in our soci-
ety, and many lives have been saved in North Texas because of his clinical caring
compassion for others.”
He was a servant leader and a wise and dear friend. Both in his life and now in
his death, Dr. Anderson serves as the motivation to work even harder at achiev-
ing our mission. People matter and it is up to each of us to do what we can to
improve the quality of life available to all people. In the coming year, we are
committed to doing our part. We invite you to be a stakeholder in this effort.
Together, we will make a difference.
