The Bulk of the Million Hearts Partnerships and Activities Identified Occurred at the Local Level and Often Do Not Have a Direct Association with Organizations Involved in the Core National Million Hearts Partnership.- The national partnership is developing resources (information, tools, branding, etc.) that may be used to support the work of these local initiatives.
- This indicates that the goal of bringing a group of diverse stakeholders together to address issues of cardiovascular disease has been achieved at the national level.
A Large Majority of Partners Believe That Million Hearts Played at Least a Fairly Substantial Role in Their Organizations' Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Work.- About half of the social network analysis participants said that their partnerships with other organizations were strengthened by it, which further helped them achieve their goals.
- Participants also identified raising awareness of the ABCS (aspirin when appropriate, blood pressure control, cholesterol management, and smoking cessation), sharing resources among stakeholders, developing new programs, and communicating between sectors and agencies as their most important outcomes.
The Million Hearts Network Effectively Enables a Diverse, Cross-Sector Group of Federal and Private-Sector Partners to Share Information About Issues Related to Cardiovascular Health.- Participation in the network requires only minimal resources for partners; however, the return on trust and value among members is high.
- These results demonstrate that the network is meeting its current goals and intentions to create an information-sharing platform.
Suggestions for Consideration- Consider maintaining current programming and leveraging existing activity and resources. Leadership may also want to explore what activities are occurring among partners and use them as examples of ways that other members might interact. Specifically, leadership may want to develop a list of best practices for working collaboratively to achieve Million Hearts goals.
- Alternatively, current activity could be maintained, but Million Hearts could focus on strengthening current levels of commitment and engagement among members, such as by constructing forums to share success stories and tips for better prevention efforts.
- Another strategy would be to reevaluate current activities, focusing on some activities suggested by partners. For example, several respondents said they would like to see Million Hearts pay closer attention to measuring its impact and the impact of its partner organizations. Leadership may also want to consider how to leverage underutilized resources, skills, and expertise to contribute to network activities.
- Consider reviewing Million Hearts' purpose and clarifying goals, revising member expectations, or changing governance.
- Consider developing diversified funding strategies to support Million Hearts work. The organization could provide small, one-time funding opportunities or support the development of tools or information that partners can use in their work.
- Million Hearts could also adopt other strategies for sustainability suggested by partners, such as providing additional support from leadership to partners, developing easier platforms for national reporting, creating efforts toward better alignment of payment mechanisms, providing more focus on population and clinical interventions, and building partnerships with organizations dedicated to specific populations.
