Fiscal Challenges And Anticipated Changes To Kentucky's Population Health System, Jeffrey Howard
Fiscal Challenges And Anticipated Changes To Kentucky's Population Health System, Jeffrey Howard
Journal of Appalachian Health
The hallmark of public health is population-level intervention. However, current public health funding in Kentucky is largely programmatic or disease-based. As a result, public health leaders are not able to appropriately utilize present resources to pursue population health endeavors. However, a recent transformation of the public health system has emphasized multisector partnerships and efficient funding mechanisms that may increase resources to pursue population-level health interventions based on community health assessments.
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.
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
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.
Kentucky’S Public Health Strategic Plan: Strengthening Foundational Services & Improving Population Health, Glen P. Mays
Kentucky’S Public Health Strategic Plan: Strengthening Foundational Services & Improving Population Health, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
This session examines recent progress toward the 2012 Institute of Medicine recommendation to identify the components and costs of a "minimum package" of public health services and foundational capabilities to be available across the U.S. Research about the health and economic benefits of Foundational Public Health Services has begun to shape Kentucky's strategic plan for transforming the public health system.
Ending Failures, Showing Results, Improving Population Health: Insights From Research & Reform In The U.S., Glen P. Mays
Ending Failures, Showing Results, Improving Population Health: Insights From Research & Reform In The U.S., Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
A growing body of empirical research supports the value of aligning the delivery systems for public health, medical care, and social services for populations with shared needs and risk factors. This presentation reviews selected studies from the field of public health services & systems research (PHSSR) in the U.S. that suggest pathways for achieving greater system alignment in the Canadian context.
Governmental Public Health And The Economics Of Adaptation To Population Health, Glen P. Mays
Governmental Public Health And The Economics Of Adaptation To Population Health, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
Research on the organization and financing of public health strategies offers valuable insight for governmental public health agencies seeking to adapt to a population health improvement perspective under health system reform.
Unifying Systems For Population Health: Infrastructure, Incentives & Evidence For Collective Action, Glen P. Mays
Unifying Systems For Population Health: Infrastructure, Incentives & Evidence For Collective Action, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
This presentation, part of the SBM Presidential Symposium on Aligning Family, Clinical, and Community Systems, reviews the collective action problems that are commonly encountered in implementing multi-sector population health improvement strategies, and examines research on ways of using public health strategies and infrastructure to overcome these problems.
Public Health Delivery Systems And Population Health, Glen P. Mays
Public Health Delivery Systems And Population Health, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
Despite high overall health expenditures, the U.S. continues to fall behind other high-income countries on many measures of population health. While health care delivery systems are now studied intensively for solutions to U.S. cost and quality problems, the nation's delivery systems for public health programs and policies are only now becoming the subject of rigorous empirical study. This presentation examines recent studies of public health delivery systems and important directions for future inquiry.
