Specifically, Ms. Animashaun-Amutah: 

- Participates in and creates content modifications for all trainings on NJ CHART, the new case management system for each grantee's community health workers;
- Creates training materials, project management tools, presentations and other technical assistance resources to help answer grantee's programmatic and policy questions relates to NJ CHART and the new assessment;
- Serves as a liaison between DOH, HWHF grantees and FHI and communicates grantee concerns with NJ CHART and the new assessment tools; 
- Conducts site visits during the roll-out period to monitor and troubleshoot any grantee issues with NJ CHART; and  
- Continually reports on user experience with the new system.

This work not only supports the modification of NJ CHART, but also creates resources to inform the future phases of the "Healthy Women Healthy Families" Initiative.

Staff from Department of Public Health (DPH), in tandem with staff from Commonwealth Medicine's Center for Health Law and Economics (CHLE) and Center for Health Policy and Research (CHPR) convened an inter-departmental team to create program-defining, research based deliverables for the Oral Health Equity Project, a five-year demonstration program funded by the federal Office of Minority Health (OMH). The Oral Health Equity Project seeks to improve the oral health of Black and Hispanic children under 14 in Worcester and Holyoke through community engagement, additional oral health resources and culturally appropriate health education. In Year 1, through direction from Shelly Yarnie and other senior leadership within DPH, the team of contributors created two city-specific Community Oral Health profiles and executive summaries, two multilingual fact sheets, one consumer feedback survey and several interview transcription summaries to help guide program development in Years 2 - 4 of the Oral Health Equity Program. Ms. Animashaun-Amutah was the main author of the site profiles for Year 1 of the project.

In March 2014, Massachusetts received grant funding for the federal Balancing Incentives Payment (BIP), an initiative to support each state's efforts to increase vital access to non-clinical, community-based long-term services and supports (LTSS). In conjunction with leadership from Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA) and MassHealth (the state's Medicaid agency), staff from Commonwealth Care's Center for Health Law and Economics (CHLE) and several other stakeholders created a three-phase workplan to improve the synergy and visibility of the state's community-based LTSS. Through Phase II and Phase III of the BIP Program, deliverable contributors created federally-compliant data input and quality measure summaries, an LTSS provider inventory, workgroup meeting summaries, four online trainings, an online self-assessment tool and webpage content for the new MassOptions website. Ms. Animashaun-Amutah co-created website content and co-designed two webinar training sessions for state Medicaid and Office of Long Term Supports staff before the website's launch.

The "Eat Healthy, Be Healthy" residential nutrition program was a cross-organizational initiative to ensure that select members of Commonwealth Community Care's (Commonwealth Care Alliance's clinical affiliate) receive home-delivered, healthy and ethnically appropriate food - especially after episodes of significant hospitalization. In partnership with the organization's Boston area food prep vendor, City Fresh Foods, the pilot program focused on "food as preventative medicine". By changing what members consume (and health behavior around food choices), the "Eat Healthy, Be Healthy" initiative aimed to show how healthy living could increase member vitality, support healthy community development and reduce repetitive treatment costs. After supporting the initial proposal co-created by Ms. Animashaun and Mr. Lloyd, senior leadership within Commonwealth Care Alliance and City Fresh Foods supported the second phase of cost, quality and market analysis for the pilot program. The initial cost assessments and pilot program evaluation ended mid-June 2014.

With seasoned members of Commonwealth Care Alliance's Integrated Care Organization program development team and senior leadership at Lynn Community Health Center and Brightwood Health Center, the OneCare Enrollment support team coordinated a series of on-site enrollment support events to educate clinicians and sign-up new OneCare program members in Essex and Hampden counties. Thanks to the multi-site collaboration, Commonwealth Care Alliance surpassed its 1,100 member enrollment goal seven months ahead of schedule.

Using NCQA's and state maternal health targets as a guide, our team created a multidisciplinary approach to reduce the organizations' Cesarean section deliveries in targeted counties and increase maternal health education for vulnerable mothers. Thanks to custom-designed surveys, on-site informational interviews, record audits and policy summaries, the Quality Improvement department received a multi-year plan to ensure that its members (especially its teen and new immigrant mothers) are equipped to deliver and nuture healthy babies.

        Abby stands out among my Emory MPH cohort as both an exceptional student but also a creative, nuanced, yet pragmatic policy thinker.  She and I shared many similar passions in health policy, particularly policies addressing the needs of and challenges facing low-income people and their health.  Not surprisingly, we would talk and work together at great length throughout our time at Emory.  Abby is reliably observant, disciplined, and insightful.  In a field saturated with statistical analysis, Abby articulates public health implications in both numbers and narratives.  She thinks creatively and strategically about complex issues, and she continually brings policy discussions back to how recommendations would affect real people – their lives, their health, and their general well-being.  

Abby would bring valuable perspectives and skills to any potential employer.  Like many public health graduates, she brings vital program evaluation or quantitative data analysis skills, but employers will take note of how she integrates these skills with a thorough work ethic and discerning eye for good research.  Her versatility as a professional is well-suited for a variety of different work environments, and her sheer passion and diligence will propel her to become a great asset to any team of which she's a part.
