Collective Impact Strategies to Achieve Systemic and Sustainable Health Improvement - Part 2

No single organization can effectively address complex community health issues such as access to primary and preventive health care services, health promotion and health protection. Achieving meaningful impact on these issues requires systems level change and needs to involve a range of cross-sector organizations. While cross-sector collaborations are not new, effective cross-sector collaborations that have achieved meaningful, systems-level impact at scale are not common.

FSG, over the past five years, has researched close to three dozen examples (including in community health) of effective cross-sector collaborations across the globe. This research culminated in the development of the collective impact framework which essentially captures the key principles that make collaborations effective.

In this webinar, FSG shared how collective impact can be helpful in addressing community health issues using two specific examples: asthma prevention and obesity. Through these examples, participants had the chance to understand in depth, how hospitals, public health institutions, safety net organizations, philanthropy, nonprofit organizations, the local community and corporations (pharmaceutical, medical device and health insurance) have worked collaboratively to address these issues.
