BERNALILLO COUNTY OPIOID ACCOUNTABILITY INITIATIVE

October 2012 -------------September 2013 ------------------>December 2013 ---------------------------->June 2014-->Fall 2014

WORKING IN COLLECTIVE IMPACT

REQUIRES A MINDSET SHIFT

OLD WAY • Technical

Problem-Solving

• Credit

• Silver Bullet

NEW WAY • Adaptive

Problem-Solving

• Credibility

• Silver Buckshot

Adapted from John Kania

COLLECTIVE IMPACT:

WHAT IT TAKES

2. Allow for the “shock of the possible”

1. Achieve a perpetual state of simultaneous planning and doing

3. Pay attention to relationships

4. Listen, listen, listen for how to respond to unanticipated results

5. Adopt an attitude of “burning patience”

Adapted from John Kania

RESULTS-BASED ACCOUNTABILITY

has two parts:

Population Accountability about the well-being of WHOLE POPULATIONS

For communities – cities – counties – states – nations

Performance Accountability about the well-being of

CUSTOMER POPULATIONS For Programs – Agencies – Service Systems

RESULTS-BASED ACCOUNTABILITY

(RBA)

RESULT What is the desired change in population well-being?

HEADLINE INDICATOR What data – tracked as a trend over time - would best indicate change toward the desired result? (This represents what we want to “turn the curve” on.)

STORY BEHIND THE CURVE What are the root causes and multiple forces at work causing the trend? What additional information/data is still needed? (This is the “research agenda”)

WHAT PARTNERS NEED TO BE INVOLVED? Who needs to be at the table and who’s missing?

WHAT WORKS? (WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO “TURN THE CURVE”?) What can each partner contribute? What are some no cost/low cost ideas that can be worked on right away?

Potential Indicators

Four Implementation Teams with volunteers from

Summit - plus others - meet monthly to: strategize and act on implementing recommendations

for their specific area, including identifying decision-makers who are key players to bring to the table

select indicator(s) as target to measure desired outcome(s) and to develop baseline "report card"

inventory available services/gaps in their area, identifying need for additional resources

provide ideas for next Summit

PRIMARY PREVENTION

IMPLEMENTATION TEAM

What works or would work to "turn the curve" on this problem?

SA Prevention Framework, NMPED "Building State Capacity" plan, with tools for community coalitions, schools, faith-based institutions and workplaces

• Expand access to drug counseling services for high school and middle school students including referrals and how Medicaid could support

• Support policies to expand evidence-based early childhood support programs, including home visiting focusing first on low-income families

of Prescription Monitoring Program database AND prescribing guidelines to limit over-prescription of opioids
