SUMMARY:Delivering on the Promise of Telehealth to Improve Health Status in California
DESCRIPTION:Click For Overview\nClick For 10/22 Conference Agenda\nClick For 10/22 Participants\nClick For 10/22 Speaker Presentations\nClick For Preliminary Conclusions and Recommendations\nClick For 10/22 Chat Comments\nClick For 10/22 Video Replay\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThe COVID-19 pandemic shelter-in-place and social distancing orders spotlighted the need for all Californians to be able to use telehealth and exposed the existing digital access inequities. It illuminated the imperative for investments in constructing high-speed Internet infrastructure capable of supporting telehealth services and for getting all residents online with appropriate computing devices and functional digital literacy. California has not optimized the use of Telehealth to close gaps for medically-underserved communities and economically-segregated neighborhoods\, which also are home to the most digitally-disadvantaged residents. \nIt is essential for policymakers who seek to achieve Digital Equity to understand how to effectively integrate the use of technology into all institutions and systems\, including the delivery of health and medical care.  CETF is joining with partner organizations to convene Fact-Finding Listening Conferences to gather data and input for an Action Plan to inform State and Federal policymakers about how to optimize the use of Telehealth in California. \nThe Purpose of Fact-Finding Listening Conferences is to: \n\nUnderstand the status of Telehealth in California.\nIdentify the gaps and barriers to optimizing Telehealth to improve health status for Californians.\nDevelop an Action Plan to advance Telehealth policy and funding in California.\n\nThe Fact-Finding will focus on Panels of Presenters comprised of health and medical care providers and with Responders comprised of government agencies\, statewide associations\, and healthcare foundations: \n\nCommunity Clinics Serving Medically-Underserved Populations (FQHCs)\nSenior Care Facilities (Skilled Nursing Facilities and Assisted Living)\nManaged Health Care Plans – Private and Public\nMedical Centers\n\nThere also will be featured “Calls to Action” by policymakers and a Briefing on the status of Telehealth in California to kick off the Fact-Finding.  Stakeholders will be invited to submit written comments and recommendations to inform the Action Plan for Telehealth in California. \n  \n\n\n\n\nPresented by the CETF Telehealth Committee \n\n\n\nBarb Johnston Yellowlees\, Committee Chair\nPresident\nThe Castleton Group  \nDorian Traube\nAssociate Professor\nSuzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work\nUniversity of Southern California\n \nThe Honorable Martha M. Escutia\nFormer California State Senator\nVice President\nState Government Relations and Special Counsel\nUniversity of Southern California   \nJim Kirkland\nGeneral Counsel\nTrimble\, Inc. \nMelinda White\nCEO\nTransit Wireless

SUMMARY:Transforming Schools and Neighborhoods through Digital Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Mobilizing Communities for Leadership in the\nHigh-Tech Sector in the Los Angeles Region:\nTransforming Schools and Neighborhoods through Digital Inclusion\nWednesday\, June 5\, 2019\nThe Optimist Room\nBreakfast 7:30 AM\nProgram 8:30AM – 3:30PM\nUCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin Conference Center\n425 Westwood Plaza\nLos Angeles\, CA 90095\nDirections and Parking \nFEATURED SPEAKERS\nMóníca García\, President\nLos Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) Board\nManuel Pastor\, Professor of American Studies & Ethnicity\nUniversity of Southern California (USC)\nFrances Gipson\, Chief Academic Officer Division of Instruction\nLos Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD)\nFrancisco Rodriguez\, Chancellor\nLos Angeles Community College District (LACCD)\nKamau Bobb\, National STEM Expert\, Founding Senior Director\nConstellations Center for Equity in Computing\nGeorgia Institute of Technology\nOscar Menjivar\, Founder and Chief Executive Officer\nTeens Exploring Technology\nJaime Casap\, Education Evangelist\, Google\nJR DeShazo\, Chair\, Department of Public Policy\nUniversity of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA)\nGary Segura\, Dean\, Luskin School of Public Policy\nUniversity of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA)\nHeather Hiles\, President and CEO\nCalifornia Online Community College\nEric Garcetti\, Mayor\nCity of Los Angeles \n Background\n The Social Science Research Council’s Portrait of Los Angeles sponsored by Southern California Grantmakers provides a clear and disturbing characterization of life in one of America’s most populous metropolitan areas.  The report reveals stunning differences in quality of life that are highly correlated with geography as well as race/ethnicity and the socioeconomic composition of communities.  Utilizing the “Human Development Index” as its barometer\, the report shows that in critical areas such as health\, education\, and income\, gross inequities limit access to opportunity for many residents and contribute to the persistence of deeply entrenched social and economic disparities. \nThese inequities are exacerbated by the Digital Divide:  the disparities in access to technology and the Internet that prevent the most disadvantaged households from fully participating in the 21st century economy.  In Los Angeles County\, many residents in the poorest communities are not able to get online at home and are unable to participate fully in the digital world.  This impacts their ability to apply for jobs\, access public services or communicate with their children’s teachers.  For children in these communities who often attend under-resourced schools\, the disparities in access to technology contributes to the disadvantages they face in preparing themselves for college and future careers that make it possible to break the cycle of poverty.  These inter-related factors and forces of economic disparities in communities with concentrated and persistent poverty constitute a “wall of poverty” that can be tackled only with a comprehensive\, multi-faceted strategy that transforms schools and neighborhoods with greater impacts at scale than accomplished to date. \nCivic leaders and community organizations are partnering to convene thought leaders and policymakers to develop a Partnership Framework to align and integrate public and private resources and actions in low-income neighborhoods\, building upon existing education improvement initiatives\, place-based interventions\, and digital inclusion strategies to change systems through purposeful collaboration with increased accountability for greater impact and better results for residents.  It is envisioned that the Conference will provide the input to develop a “Partnership Framework” for changing systems to achieve improved outcomes. \n\nConference Goals\n  \n\nExplore possibilities for developing strong and sustainable partnerships among education\, local government\, and employers to address systemic issues related to inequality in the Los Angeles Region.\nIdentify existing efforts and strengthen new regional strategies for Digital Inclusion for youth and families.\nElevate and strengthen current efforts that promote the development of educational and professional pathways in the high tech sector and emerging industries for low-income youth in the Los Angeles Region.\n\n\n
