These are brief slides related to the Well-Being In the Nation Measurement Framework

1. Well-being In the Nation
(WIN)
A multi-sector measurement framework for population and community
health and well-being advanced by the National Committee on Vital and
Health Statistics

3. What is the Well-Being In the Nation
Measurement Framework?
 The Well-Being In the Nation (WIN) Measurement Framework offers a set
of common measures to assess and improve population and community
health and well-being across sectors.
 It is intended to help people address all of the drivers of health, well-
being and equity together. This includes measures for the social
determinants of health.
 The framework is divided into three elements: core measures, leading
indicators, and a full flexible set of measures.
 The framework was developed by the National Committee on Vital and
Health Statistics; measure development was facilitated by 100 Million
Healthier Lives, with input from 100+ people and organizations

National Committee on Vital and Health
Statistics (NCVHS) is a Federal Advisory
Committee – reports to secretary of HHS
Goal was to identify multi-sector
measures to support population and
community health and wellbeing and
address social determinants of health
Report from January 2017

recommendations to HHS Secretary (May

5. Who: An unprecedented collaboration of change
agents pursuing an unprecedented result:
100 million people living healthier lives by 2020
Vision: to fundamentally transform the way we
think and act to improve health, wellbeing and
equity.
Equity is the price of admission.
Convened by the Institute for Healthcare
Improvement as a partnership.

About 100 Million Healthier Lives
1850+ members and partners across sectors
in all 50 states, 200+ communities and 30+
countries

6. Aim & Key Considerations
1. Arrive at measure set(s) aligned with NCVHS Framework domains
to create a measurement ecosystem for wellbeing:
• Parsimonious set of core measures at national level
• Expandable menu of measures for use at local, community level
2. Achieve a balance between standard, widely-used measures and
those that may be promising/currently used in fewer places at
this time (or even gaps in the field/opportunities for
development), but have the potential to be highly useful
3. Include a breadth of experts, including across sectors and those
who implement measurement on multiple levels, including
community

7. Key features of the approach we took
1. Co-design: Identify who would be using it and how (use cases) and engage metrics
experts and implementers together in the process of metrics identification.
2. Continuous testing with communities and others groups of implementers as the
framework implementation approach was being developed and measures were
selected to see if they resonated and were useful.
3. A focus on creating a living library of measures that helps us learn together what
works rather than creating “a definitive set” of measures “for all time”.
4. A focus on what brings us together rather than how we might slice the world
differently; a willingness to engage in public-private partnership.
5. A mix of leading indicators and lagging indicators that meets the needs of different
sectors—as well as common ones many can align around.

8. 2018: Modified Delphi Process – 100+ organizations
across sectors participating along with communities
 Cycle 1: What’s missing?
• Process: Participants were invited to suggest additions to the list of candidate metrics being considered.
• Output: Complete metrics list compiled
 Cycle 2: Prioritization
• Process: In each domain participants were asked to prioritize 10 metrics for each the National and
Community measures based on the measure’s importance, value/usefulness, and usability to stakeholders
• Output: Candidate metrics lists for each domain at each National and Community levels were reduce to
~20 most selected measures
 Cycle 3: Evaluation
• Process: In each domain participants were asked to prioritize 5 metrics for each the National and
Community measures, then evaluate their importance, feasibility, usability and value on a scale of 1 (least)
to 3 (most)
 Cycle 4: Multisector expert validation and community testing
 Cycle 5: Alignment with related measurement initiatives, such as Healthy People 2030

9. Well-being In the Nation (WIN) Measurement
Framework (NCVHS Framework)
1.Core measures
• Well-being of people
• Well-being of places
• Equity
2.Leading indicators
• 12 domains and associated
subdomains related to determinants of
health (upstream, midstream, downstream)
3.Full flexible set (developmental measures)
• 12 domains and associated subdomains
9

10. Wellbeing In the Nation (WIN) Core
Measures
10
1. Wellbeing of people
• People reported wellbeing
• Life expectancy
2. Wellbeing of places
• Healthy communities index (USNWR/CHRR)
• Child poverty
3. Equity
• Differences in subjective wellbeing
• Years of potential life gained
• Income inequality, graduation rates
• Differences by demographic variables (race,
place, gender, educational level, language, etc)

11. People reported well-being
 Two simple
questions
 Administered 2.7
million times,
highly validated
 Relate to morbidity,
mortality, cost
 Useful for risk
stratification
 Work across sectors

Sex
Race/Ethnicity
Education
Zip code
Veteran status
% people thriving
% people suffering
% people with hope

12. Leading Indicators and Full Flexible Set –
Measures related to domains below
1.Demographics
2.Health
3.Food and Agriculture
4.Community Vitality
5.Environment
6.Economy
7.Education
8.Housing
9.Public safety
10.Transportation
11.Wellbeing of people
12.Equity
 Data availability, importance,
as well as priority to different
development and
implementation group
determined whether measure
was chosen a leading indicator
12

13. What you can use these measures to do
 Identify measures for national initiatives that can be applied
across a wide variety of communities.
 Monitor the health, well-being, and equity of a population over
time.
 Understand and drive improvements in health, well-being, and
equity.
 Understand health, well-being, and equity in population segments.
 Compare the health and well-being of communities through the
development of an index.
