Education Data for Health Systems: Challenges and Opportunities
Healthy Schools Campaign
The Healthy Schools Campaign (HSC) has worked at the intersection of education and health for the last 15 years, supporting schools, districts, states and national stakeholders as they work to create healthy schools where children can learn and thrive. In the fall of 2017 the Healthy Schools Campaign engaged RESOLVE, a D.C.-based nonprofit specializing in collaborative policy development, to conduct an interview scan exploring whether and how education data are being incorporated into health accountability systems in the United States. This brief highlights existing efforts to integrate education data, such as chronic absenteeism, into health and public health accountability systems, describes common barriers and best practices, and suggests key opportunities for further exploration to advance this work. The interview scan indicated that there is a broad "common sense" understanding that addressing children in their daytime environment is a good way to improve children's health. Interviewees also share an understanding that value-based care delivery and payment models prioritize interventions that address the determinants of health issues, as well as lower-cost settings, like schools. Interviewees see these factors as incentivizing more collaboration between education and health systems.
