Data exchange is crucial to coordinating care and services for older Californians, particularly those who have an array of health and social needs and require multidisciplinary teams to manage care and transitions between settings. Too often, however, health care and social services are siloed, which creates barriers that limit data sharing needed to improve care and outcomes.
Archstone Foundation seeks to enhance collaboration between the health care and social services sectors to improve the health and well-being of older adults and their caregivers. Archstone Foundation has established a funding strategy that prioritizes grantmaking along three dimensions: Teams, Training, and Technology strategies (the Three Ts), with justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion interwoven throughout these core strategies.
This strategic landscape, opportunities assessment, and funding priorities report provides an overview of the data exchange landscape in California as it relates to older adults and identifies opportunity areas where Archstone Foundation investments could have maximum impact.
