Mission and programs · 2024

• ALTARUM'S AREAS OF FOCUS INCLUDE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, LONG-TERM SERVICES AND SUPPORTS, MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH, FOOD AND NUTRITION, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID, MILITARY AND VETERANS' HEALTH, APPLIED RESEARCH AND EVALUATION, AND PUBLIC HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND DATA MODERNIZATIONPUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS: ALTARUM'S ADVISORY SERVICES PROVIDE DIRECTION FOR HEALTH POLICY IMPLEMENTATION AND PROGRESS. OUR TEAM OF PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS ADVISE ON NAVIGATING STATE OR FEDERAL REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS, IMPROVING PROGRAM PERFORMANCE, AND DELIVERING HIGHER QUALITY CARE. THIS INCLUDES POLICY ANALYSIS, PROJECT MANAGEMENT, CAPACITY BUILDING, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, QUALITY IMPROVEMENT, PRACTICE TRANSFORMATION, EVALUATION STUDIES, COALITION ENGAGEMENT, AND LEARNING COLLABORATIVES. TRANSFORMATIVE INSIGHTS: ALTARUM'S RESEARCH PROVIDES A FOUNDATION ON WHICH WE BUILD SOLUTIONS TO ACHIEVE A FUTURE OF BETTER HEALTH FOR ALL. ALTARUM'S INSIGHTS ARE DESIGNED FOR PRACTICAL APPLICATION AND ACHIEVING MEASURABLE RESULTS. OUR APPLIED RESEARCH AND ANALYTICS SERVICE OFFERINGS INCLUDE ECONOMIC MODELING AND ANALYSIS, PROPRIETARY TOOLS, SURVEY SCIENCE, AND DATA ANALYTICS. OUR ANALYSTS, STATISTICIANS, AND RESEARCH SCIENTISTS WORK EVERY DAY TO DELIVER GREATER VALUE TO THE US HEALTH SYSTEM WHILE CONTROLLING COSTS. IN ADDITION TO SUPPORTING THE FULL SURVEY LIFECYCLE, WE INTEGRATE RESEARCH AND DATA ANALYTICS TO REVEAL ACTIONABLE RESULTS. FOR EXAMPLE, ALTARUM'S ACE MEASURE OF PATIENT ENGAGEMENT TOOL IS A FULLY VALIDATED TOOL THAT USES 12 QUESTIONS TO ENABLE CLINICIANS TO ASCERTAIN ENGAGEMENT, INTENT TO TREAT CHRONIC CONDITIONS, AND HEALTH LITERACY IN TWO MINUTES.BUILDING CAPACITY: ALTARUM'S TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE (TTA) SERVICES ENSURE EFFECTIVE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND EVIDENCE-BASED BEST PRACTICES, BUILDS CAPACITY, AND LEADS TO BETTER OUTCOMES. WE HAVE DECADES OF EXPERIENCE OPERATING TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR FEDERAL AGENCIES SUCH AS SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (SAMHSA) AND HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (HRSA) AND HAVE RECENTLY BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE BUREAU OF JUSTICE ASSISTANCE (BJA) AS A NATIONAL TTA EXPERT FOR OUR WORK STRENGTHENING COORDINATION BETWEEN COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT ACROSS MORE THAN 20 STATES. CONNECTING HEALTH INFORMATION FOR BETTER OUTCOMES: ACHIEVING SEAMLESS PUBLIC HEALTH DATA INTEROPERABILITY IS KEY TO IMPROVING THE PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE. ALTARUM HAS BEEN HELPING PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMS MODERNIZE THEIR DATA SYSTEMS FOR TWO DECADES. WE HAVE HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE DEVELOPING FAST HEALTHCARE INTEROPERABILITY RESOURCES (FHIR) SOLUTIONS, COLLABORATING WITH MAJOR ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD (EHR) VENDORS, AND WORKING CLOSELY WITH INTEROPERABILITY STANDARDS ORGANIZATIONS LIKE HL7. FOR EXAMPLE, ALTARUM CREATED AND MAINTAINS THE MICHIGAN SYNDROMIC SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM WHICH RECEIVES DATA FROM OVER 200 EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS AND URGENT CARE FACILITIES AND RAPIDLY DETECTS AND ALERTS STATE AND REGIONAL EPIDEMIOLOGISTS TO OUTBREAKS OF ILLNESS. ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS ALTARUM EXPANDS STAFF CAPACITY AND PROVIDES INTEROPERABILITY SERVICES TO THE WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. SERVICES INCLUDE IMPROVING HL7 MESSAGE PROCESSES, STREAMLINING THE ONBOARDING AND MONITORING OF LABORATORIES, TRAINING STAFF, OPTIMIZING REPORTING, AND ENHANCING DATA FEEDS ESSENTIAL FOR REPORTING, MODELING, AND VISUALIZING PROBABLE CASE DATA.BUILD TECHNOLOGY: ALTARUM'S CROSS-FUNCTIONAL TEAM OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERS, DATA SCIENTISTS, AND PUBLIC HEALTH ANALYSTS HAVE DEEP EXPERTISE AND HELP STATE GOVERNMENTS AND OTHERS ACROSS THE HEALTH CARE SPECTRUM IMPROVE HEALTH THROUGH TECHNOLOGY. FOR EXAMPLE, OUR INNOVATIONS IN NEWBORN SCREENING INTEROPERABILITY RESOURCE CENTER PROVIDED STATES AND TERRITORIES TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND TRAINING TO PROMOTE DATA INTEROPERABILITY AND EXCHANGE BETWEEN HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND STATE PUBLIC HEALTH NEWBORN SCREENING PROGRAMS, ULTIMATELY IMPROVING OUTCOMES FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN WITH HERITABLE CONDITIONS. REGISTRY DEVELOPMENT: THE ABILITY TO TRACK AND INTEGRATE CLINICAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH DATA SETS IS CRITICAL TO ENHANCING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF DISEASE TRENDS, IMPROVING PATIENT OUTCOMES, AND FACILITATING INFORMED DECISION-MAKING IN PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMS. FOR OVER 20 YEARS, ALTARUM HAS HELPED COMMUNITIES, STATES, AND THE NATION TRACK, INTEGRATE CLINICAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH DATA SETS, AND CONNECT VITAL HEALTH DATA SO TO UNDERSTAND DISEASE TRENDS, IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES, AND FACILITATE DECISION-MAKING IN PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMS. FOR THE MICHIGAN CANCER SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM, ALTARUM PROVIDES TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND INTEGRATION SERVICES TO ELECTRONICALLY EXTRACT AND PROCESS CANCER CASE INFORMATION FROM CLINICAL SETTINGS. FOR THE ORANGE COUNTY HEALTH CARE AGENCY, ALTARUM DEVELOPED A DATA EXCHANGE TO BETTER SAFEGUARD PUBLIC HEALTH BY MINIMIZING INADVERTENT EXPOSURES TO MULTI-DRUG RESISTANT ORGANISMS (MDROS) IN HEALTH CARE SETTINGS. THE CENTRALIZED SYSTEM ALIGNS WITH THE GOAL OF CDC'S DATA MODERNIZATION INITIATIVE TO PROVIDE ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS FASTER FOR DECISION-MAKING AT ALL LEVELS OF PUBLIC HEALTH.

  Expenses $24,222,513 · Revenue $40,627,352

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made
