Public Health Spending And Its Contributions To The Total Spend On Health, Glen P. Mays
Public Health Spending And Its Contributions To The Total Spend On Health, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
This presentation provides an overview of recent research on governmental public health expenditures and their interaction with medical spending, carried out through the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation supported initiatives on Public Health Services and Systems Research (PHSSR) and the new Systems for Action research program. This work illustrates the value of tracking resource use across multiple sectors that influence health and well-being in American communities. As such, this work can inform the ongoing dialogue about methodologies for summarizing total health spending for the U.S. and for state and local areas.
Learning From Geographic Variation And Change In Preparedness: The 2016 National Health Security Preparedness Index, Glen P. Mays
Learning From Geographic Variation And Change In Preparedness: The 2016 National Health Security Preparedness Index, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
The 2016 release of the National Health Security Preparedness Index tracks the nation's progress in preparing for disasters and other emergencies that create health risks for large groups of people. Recent improvements in the Index computational methodologies and measures allow results to be compared validly across states and over time. The Index aggregates more than 130 individual measures from nearly 60 data sources into valid composite measures for 6 domains and 19 subdomains that reflect core functional areas of emergency preparedness and response. Improvements in normalization, weighting, imputation, and confidence interval construction enhance the validity and reliability of Index estimates …
Measuring Progress To Comprehensive Public Health Systems, National Preparedness, And A Culture Of Health, Glen P. Mays
Measuring Progress To Comprehensive Public Health Systems, National Preparedness, And A Culture Of Health, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
This update describes recent progress on two national health measurement initiatives: The National Health Security Preparedness Index and the National Longitudinal Survey of Public Health Systems. These longitudinal data sources offer valuable perspectives on how health security practices and public health delivery systems are changing across the U.S.
Learning From Variation And Change: The 2016 Release Of The National Health Security Preparedness Index, Glen P. Mays
Learning From Variation And Change: The 2016 Release Of The National Health Security Preparedness Index, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
The 2016 release of the National Health Security Preparedness Index uses an improved computational methodology and validated set of measures to more accurately track national and state progress in protecting the public from the health effects of disasters, outbreaks and other large-scale emergencies. This presentation provides a preview of the new methodology and results.
Understanding The Value Of Multi-Sector Partnerships To Improve Population Health, Glen P. Mays
Understanding The Value Of Multi-Sector Partnerships To Improve Population Health, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
We review recent research concerning multi-sectoral partnerships aimed at improving health status on a population-wide basis, with a particular focus on implementation strategies and on health and economic impact. While still preliminary and emerging, research indicates that large health benefits are possible through collective actions that engage the medical, public health, and social sectors. Mechanisms for aligning incentives, dividing responsibilities equitably, and measuring progress regularly appear critical to success.
Measuring Comprehensive Public Health Delivery Systems And Their Contributions To Population Health, Glen P. Mays, Rick Ingram
Measuring Comprehensive Public Health Delivery Systems And Their Contributions To Population Health, Glen P. Mays, Rick Ingram
Health Management and Policy Presentations
We review methods for measuring the structure of public health delivery systems using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Public Health Systems. A growing body of research using these measures demonstrates how multiple sectors contribute to core public health functions, and how these functions influence community health status over time. We end with a summary of how the Comprehensive Public Health System measure will be used in monitoring the impact of the 21st Century Public Health System initiative.
Aligning Delivery & Financing Systems To Advance A Culture Of Health, Glen P. Mays
Aligning Delivery & Financing Systems To Advance A Culture Of Health, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Systems for Action Research Program supports research on how best to organize, finance, and deliver the constellation of services and supports that promote health and well-being in American communities, including but extending beyond the medical care and public health sectors. This session describes work underway through the S4A program and future research priorities, building on a strong scientific foundation in the fields of health services research (HSR) and public health services & systems research (PHSSR).
Integrating Health Services & Systems: What We Know, Think We Know, And Need To Learn, Glen P. Mays
Integrating Health Services & Systems: What We Know, Think We Know, And Need To Learn, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
The delivery and financing systems for medical care, public health, and social and community services pursue many common goals and serve overlapping groups of families and communities. Unfortunately, in most American communities these systems interact in complex and often poorly understood ways through fragmented funding vehicles, information flows, governance and decision-making structures, institutional relationships, implementation rules and strategies, and professional and interpersonal connections. New research approaches are required to untangle these interactions and expose novel pathways of influence that can support equitable improvements in service delivery, resource use, health impact, and wellbeing. This presentation will summarize evidence from recent studies …
Measuring Multi-Sector Contributions To Public Health Delivery Systems & Population Health, Glen P. Mays
Measuring Multi-Sector Contributions To Public Health Delivery Systems & Population Health, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
The National Longitudinal Survey of Public Health Systems has followed a nationally-representative cohort of U.S. communities since 1998 to measure the scope of public health activities implemented in each community and the range of organizations and sectors that contribute to each activity. With 16 years of follow-up observations, this survey allows us to study the effects of demographic, economic, and policy shocks on public health delivery systems, and estimate the health effects attributable to delivery system change.
Measuring Comprehensive Public Health Delivery Systems And Their Contributions To Population Health, Glen P. Mays
Measuring Comprehensive Public Health Delivery Systems And Their Contributions To Population Health, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
Delivery and financing systems for public health services vary widely across U.S. communities, raising questions about the comparative effectiveness and efficiency of alternative structures. We summarize recent approaches for measuring alternative system configurations and estimating their health and economic effects.
