One Jefferson News September 2017

Over the past three years, we have embarked on an exciting journey of reimagining a new model for health and education to create One Jefferson. Our first step was to bring together Thomas Jefferson University and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. We continued along this journey by welcoming Abington Health and Aria Health, and combining Philadelphia University and Thomas Jefferson University. Recently, we also welcomed Kennedy Health to the Jefferson Health family. As the process of coming together – becoming one – continues to produce a growing number of integration successes for the organization, we are expanding communication efforts with this “One Jefferson” electronic newsletter. Emailed to all staff, the One Jefferson News update – through stories and images - will share how we are working together to fulfill our mission of improving lives in the communities we serve across the region. During this exciting time of rapid organizational evolution, we recognize the importance of frequent communications and celebrating the great things being accomplished by our talented team. If you have questions or ideas, we welcome you to email [email protected]. The account is actively monitored and we look forward to responding to you.

Social Impact Bonds 101

As of February 2017, 15 Pay for Success (PFS) contracts using social impact bonds (SIBs) have been launched in the U.S. In combination, these projects are scheduled to deliver approximately $130 million in services and serve more than 20,000 individuals. These projects tackle issues in homelessness, criminal recidivism, early childhood education, maternal and infant health, child welfare system reform, and substance abuse treatment. This policy brief discusses the reasons that governments around the country are testing the Pay for Success approach. It also explains the PFS model, describes PFS projects in the US to date, and presents some of the lessons that have been learned from the initial U.S. PFS projects
