The Social Work Leadership Institute’s Goals from the beginningThe Social Work Leadership Institute is a national

initiative working to ensure that America’s older adults receive the care they need to live life to the fullest – and that their caregivers also get the support they deserve.

To achieve this goal, we’re working to increase the number of social workers who specialize in aging through research, policy and public education to create a rich network of care for every older adult.


The Aging Imperative

US faces critical shortage of all health care providers working with aging persons, including social workers

By 2020, The National Institute of Aging estimates the nation will require 70,000 “aging savvy” professional social workers

This represents more than a 40% increase over the current social work labor force.

Today, fewer than 3% of social work students specialize in aging. Lack of retention: low pay + low visibility = poor

Knowledge and Skill Outcome


HPPAE Outcomes

The HPPAE is in 38 states with a total of 99 programs graduating over 2,669 students in 2011

80% of students plan to work in field of aging after graduation

Student satisfaction high for achieving learning goals and with rotational model for internships

HPPAE implementation sites, and cycles 1 and 2 schools have achieved a 95% sustainability rate for their programs (43 out of 46 sites)

Schools have been able to redirect resources to keep programs in place

Why Implement the HPPAE?

The rapid aging of the population

The need for more specialists in aging

The aging of the current workforce

The need for more effective models of care

The shift to competency based education = EPAS requirement

The opportunity to strengthen ties with the community

The opportunity to recruit students – the jobs will be in aging

The need for competent community leadership

The feasibility to generate/redirect resources

HPPAE “Normalization”

SWLI, in consultation with the National Advisory Panel has embarked on a grassroots effort to expand the program to other schools of social work, facilitating an exchange of knowledge and resources among schools

SWLI’s National Advisory Panel mission

Normalization and the Breakthrough Series Collaborative Model (BSC)

BSC is a collaborative model that serves as the theoretical framework to establish the process of Normalization

The BSC Model: Creates a structure in which universities and community

partners can learn from each other and from recognized experts.

Provides an environment for learning, action, and evaluation that engages organizations in making real, system-level changes that lead to dramatic improvements.

Designed to close the gap between what we know and what we do


What is the Breakthrough Series?

Developed by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI)

The BTS is an improvement method that relies on spread and adaptation of existing knowledge to multiple settings to accomplish a common aim


The framework: IHI Breakthrough Series
