Estimating The Costs Of Public Health Services: Progress On The Institute Of Medicine Recommendations, Glen P. Mays
Estimating The Costs Of Public Health Services: Progress On The Institute Of Medicine Recommendations, Glen P. Mays
Glen Mays
The National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine recommended in 2012 that the federal government undertake work to identify the components and costs of a "minimum package" of public health programs, services, and capabilities that should be available in every American community. This presentation summarizes work that is currently underway through the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-supported Public Health Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRN) Program to estimate the costs of public health delivery.

New Health Delivery Networks: Merging Public Health And Health Care Systems, Glen P. Mays
New Health Delivery Networks: Merging Public Health And Health Care Systems, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
Incomplete coordination between medical care and public health delivery systems can result in significant missed opportunities for improving population health and constraining overall resource use. This lecture uses insight from the field of public health services and systems research (PHSSR) to examine: (1) why medical care and public health systems often fail to connect; (2) what are the potential health and economic consequences of these failures; and (3) what are the opportunities for connecting medical care and public health delivery to improve population health.

Public Health Services And Systems Research: Building The Science Of Public Health Delivery, Glen Mays
Public Health Services And Systems Research: Building The Science Of Public Health Delivery, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
The extreme heterogeneity in how public health activities are organized, financed, and implemented across U.S. states and communities provides compelling opportunities for research on the comparative effectiveness and efficiency of public health delivery. This talk highlights some of the most compelling and policy-relevant opportunities for research on public health organization and financing issues, and examines some of the ongoing studies in the field.

Cost Estimation Methods And Foundational Public Health Capabilities, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
The National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medine recently recommended that the federal government identify the components and costs of a "minimum package of public health services" and "foundational public health capabilities" that should be universally available across the U.S. This presentation reviews costing methods that can be used for identifying the costs required to establish "foundational public health capabilities" at state and local levels within the U.S. public health system.

Health System Contributions To Public Health Activities Amid Policy And Economic Change: Estimating Complementarities, Substitutions, And Network Effects, Glen P. Mays
Glen Mays
Research Objective: The Affordable Care Act created new incentives for hospitals, insurers, employers, public health agencies, and others to contribute to activities designed to promote health and prevent disease an injury, potentially changing the structure of public health delivery systems and expanding the delivery of strategies that improve population health. At the same time, the economic recession has constrained government and private sector spending on health and health care, necessitating changes in the scope and scale of public health delivery. This study uses data from the 1998-2012 National Longitudinal Survey of Public Health Systems to examine: (1) the extent and …

Harnessing The Power Of Public Health Systems For Injury Prevention & Control, Glen P. Mays
Harnessing The Power Of Public Health Systems For Injury Prevention & Control, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
Efforts to improve population health hinge on a vast yet diffuse constellation of government agencies, health care providers, and community organizations that assume responsibilities in implementing prevention programs and policies across the U.S. Realizing the full health and economic benefits of injury prevention and control initiatives requires mobilizing and managing these complex and heterogeneous public health delivery systems. This session will explore the emerging science of public health delivery systems and what it tells us about improving injury prevention and control amid policy and economic change.

Public Health Delivery Systems And Population Health, Glen Mays
Public Health Delivery Systems And Population Health, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
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.
Estimating Return On Investment: Approaches And Methods, Glen P. Mays
Estimating Return On Investment: Approaches And Methods, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
Continuing fiscal constraints in the public sector and large-scale policy changes associated with health reform implementation in the U.S. are giving heightened attention to questions about the health and economic value of public health programs, services, and policies -- strategies designed to protect health and prevent disease and injury on a population-wide basis. This session provides an overview of approaches for conducting return-on-investment (ROI) analyses and related economic evaluation studies in public health settings in order to inform policy and administrative decision-making. New opportunities and resources created through CDC's National Public Health Improvement Initiative (NPHII) and RWJF's Public Health Practice-based …

Optimizing The Value Of Public Health Services: Lessons From Research & Practice, Glen P. Mays
Glen Mays
Expanding the delivery of efficacious public health programs and policies holds considerable potential for improving population health and constraining the growth in health care spending. Achieving such expansions efficiently, particularly in low-resource settings, requires careful attention to interorganizational and intergovernmental relationships in public health delivery.

Next Generation Public Health Delivery: Optimizing Health And Economic Impact, Glen P. Mays
Next Generation Public Health Delivery: Optimizing Health And Economic Impact, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
Improving population health in the context of significant policy and economic change will require governmental public health agencies to rethink their roles within the U.S. health and social services systems, giving much greater attention to "catalytic" functions intended to mobilize, direct, and coordinate the actions of others. A growing body of evidence and experience suggests that such changes are likely to be feasible, effective, and efficient.

Testing Integrated Primary Care And Public Health Models For Prevention Delivery, Glen P. Mays
Testing Integrated Primary Care And Public Health Models For Prevention Delivery, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
Improving the delivery of evidence-tested prevention interventions to populations at greatest risk requires strong coordination between primary care providers and public health organizations. This presentation reviews current research on models for integrated delivery of primary care and public health services, and identifies emerging research needs and opportunities. Of particular interest are the roles that practice-based research networks (PBRNs) can play in building this evidence.
