A Collaborative Approach

Collaboration is a core Foundation value, reflected in our programs and funding partnerships. We continually seek ways to expand the impact of our investments through engagement with a range of private and public organizations that share our mission and values. 

Driving Triple Aim Outcomes

The John A. Hartford Foundation is committed to better care for older adults that drives better health outcomes and lowers overall costs. 
 

  • Nursing home residents in one innovative care model experienced a 25 percent reduction in all-cause hospitalizations and a 40 percent reduction in potentially avoidable hospitalizations, compared to control groups.
  • A model for treating depression among older adults doubled the effectiveness of treatment in primary care settings—with at least a 50 percent reduction in symptoms, compared with only 19 percent of those receiving usual care.
  • A program to provide primary care for older adults in home settings saved Medicare more than $10 million—an average of $1,010 per beneficiary—while delivering higher-quality patient care.
