About MITRE's Health Advisory committee

MITRE cordially invites you to the next meeting of the MITRE Health Advisory Committee for an executive discussion on Harnessing Innovation to Build Health and Well-being and Shift Care to the Home and Community: Meeting People Where They Are.

MITRE launched the Health Advisory Committee to engage visionary health and human services executives to formulate actionable strategies to solve the nation’s most important problems in healthcare, public and population health, and social services. The committee includes former health system CEOs, former government officials, and key health and human services thought leaders. 

As a not-for-profit organization, MITRE works in the public interest across federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal governments, as well as industry and academia, to tackle challenges to the safety, stability, and well-being of our nation. As the operator of federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs), we address healthcare and public health issues through our work with multiple government agencies. Government sponsors include the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Homeland Security. The work of the Health Advisory Committee guides MITRE’s development of innovative objective insights for our government FFRDC sponsors and informs MITRE efforts across industry and government to solve our nation’s toughest health and human services problems. 

Meeting Overview

The nation is moving toward a radical transformation in care delivery spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, digital health, and emerging care delivery models that are increasingly focused on providing services in the home and community. The key question is, what it will take to scale a health and well-being ecosystem that provides for people’s physical, mental, and social needs? And how do we ensure health equity, better health outcomes, and lower cost of care centered on individuals and families in their home and communities? During this meeting we will discuss:

  1. Conceptualizing a vision and a pathway: What does this new ecosystem look like and how do we transform from predominantly brick-and-mortar and illness-centric care toward a system for health that is digitally-enabled, meets people where they are, and encompasses the full spectrum of care including preventive services, healthcare, and social services? 
  2. Developing technology and infrastructure: What infrastructure is needed to support a new model of integrated home and community-based wellness and health care? This includes supporting the integration of a digital infrastructure and other types of infrastructure and needed mobile resources to safely deliver effective support and care to the individual in their community and home. 
  3. Re-envisioning the workforce: What types of services and supports can be delivered in the home or community and what skills does the workforce need to deliver this care? 
  4. Determining the new business models: What are the business models that enable delivery of inclusive care that is centered around the individual and aligns stakeholders, networks, and partnerships?
