1 ADVOCACY FIELD CAPACITY: INTEGRATION OF CARE As part of the Health Foundation s Consumer Advocacy Funding Initiative, 53 consumer health advocacy organizations were surveyed to map which policy targets they are focused on and what advocacy strategies they are using to address those targets. The need for mapping emerged from the May 2015 Consumer Advocacy convening, where advocates expressed the desire to reduce siloed work across policy targets and to reach a better understanding of the field of work to facilitate collaboration among advocacy organizations. Advocates were asked to provide a ranking for each policy target, indicating the extent to which that target is a priority in their current work. 1 Across policy targets, they also ranked deployment of various advocacy strategies aimed at the public, influencers, and policymakers to impact awareness, will, and action. 2 In the mapping below, the size of the dark green bubbles indicate organizations which are both actively working on this policy target and frequently deploy the advocacy strategy (a larger bubble means more organizations). The light green halos indicate the number of organizations which could be activated to deploy a strategy on the policy target (i.e., respondents who indicated they either are actively advocating and periodically use that strategy or plan to advocate and frequently use that strategy). 1 Policy target ranking scale: (1) actively advocating on this issue; (2) planning to advocate on this issue in the next year; (3) willing to advocate on this issue in the next year, but not currently planning anything; or (4) unlikely to advocate on this issue in the next year. 2 Advocacy strategy ranking scale: (1) one of your organization s most frequently used advocacy strategies; (2) a strategy your organization uses periodically or at a smaller scale; (3) a strategy your organization can deploy, but does not regularly use; or (4) not a strategy your organization can deploy. Prepared by Spark Policy Institute on behalf of The Health Foundation 1 P a g e

2 Across policy targets, a majority of strategies are aimed at decision maker action and will, and to a slightly lesser degree, public awareness. For influencers, the majority of organizations reported focusing on education, champion development, and coalition building with fewer focusing on media advocacy. The most notable strategy gaps (i.e., least concentration of work) include public polling, voter mobilization, demonstration programs and litigation. Of the survey respondents, 23 organizations indicated they are actively advocating for integration of care and 19 more organizations are planning or willing to advocate for this policy target. This policy target is in the middle of the pack for number of strategies deployed to advance or defend it. While there are specific avenues to test policy solutions for integration of care, such as the Accountable Care Collaborative and the State Innovation Model, the May 2015 convening surfaced that this target lacks focus. The pattern of deployed strategies is similar to the other targets, though it may be surprising that fewer organizations are focusing on demonstration programs or model legislation given the opportunities in this area. The goal of this document is to facilitate collaboration among advocacy organizations. To that end, the following pages include two tables that list the organizations actively working on this target or who could be activated, their contact information, and the strategies they deploy. If you discover any information that is out of date, please let us know.
