Elevate Health Selected as a DASH Mentor to Improve Community Health

Elevate Health has been selected byData Across Sectors for Health (DASH), a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, to serve as one of six “Mentors” that are helping local collaborations advance their efforts to share and use multi-sector data to improve community health. DASH Mentors will create opportunities that foster learning and implementation through the All In: Data for Community Health network, focusing on a particular topic area related to multi-sector data sharing.

As a DASH Mentor, Elevate Health will lead a small peer-to-peer learning group of “Mentees” that share a common interest in exploring or establishing a community information exchange (CIE), a collective movement and technology platform that shifts how health and social service providers deliver person-centered care. Over the course of 10 months, Mentees will receive up to $5,000 each to support participation in the mentorship and will get practical guidance on topics including CIE infrastructure, interoperable technology, community networks, legal frameworks, and sustainability.

We hope that our participation in the DASH Mentor Program can help us spread the impact of our innovations beyond our community by sharing lessons and promising practices we’ve developed through years of hands-on experience. Elevate Health is excited to make meaningful connections with communities across the country to accelerate learning and make significant progress towards aligning multi-sector partners around data-driven approaches that promote health equity.
