Defining Comprehensive Public Health Delivery Systems, Glen P. Mays
Defining Comprehensive Public Health Delivery Systems, Glen P. Mays
Glen Mays
This brief describes the methodology for defining Comprehensive Public Health Delivery Systems using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Public Health Systems. The systems meeting this definition have been shown to deliver a broader range of recommended public health services, using fewer resources, than the more prevalent types of U.S. public health systems that do not meet this definition. Over time, comprehensive systems are associated with larger gains in population health status than are their counterparts.
Accreditation And Standardization In Public Health, Glen Mays
Accreditation And Standardization In Public Health, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
Reducing harmful, wasteful, and inequitable variation in public health delivery is a central objective for administrative and policy decision-makers in public health, and is embedded in the national accreditation movement. The challenge lies in accomplishing this objective while preserving the benefits of customization in public health delivery that accrue through tailoring and targeting of resources to unique community needs and risks. Public health services and systems research (PHSSR) can help determine the optimal balance between standardization and customization in public health delivery.

Strengthening The Evidence Base For Public Health Accreditation, Glen Mays
Strengthening The Evidence Base For Public Health Accreditation, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
With the launch of a voluntary national accreditation program for public health agencies, the field requires an expanding evidence base concerning which public health strategies work best, for which populations, and under what circumstances. The field of public health services and systems research (PHSSR) and practice-based research networks (PBRNs) are producing applied studies that can inform the future development and implementation of accreditation standards, and evaluate the impact of accreditation on the field of practice.

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 …

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.

The Value Of Public Health Financial Data, Glen P. Mays
The Value Of Public Health Financial Data, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
Effective policy and administrative decision-making in public health requires reliable information on the amount of resources invested in governmental public health programs and how these resouces are allocated and used across the U.S. public health system. This session examines current and potential uses of public health financial data in the U.S., and considers expanded roles for research in informing policy and administrative decisions.

Public Health Roi: Evidence, Experience, And Remaining Questions, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
Expanding the delivery of efficacious public health and prevention strategies holds considerable potential for improving health outcomes and constraining costs across the U.S. health system. Unfortunately, lingering certainties about the costs required to expand public health delivery systems and about the health and economic effects of such expansions has muted private and public support for increased public health expenditures. This lecture examines recent evidence from public health services and systems research studies that examine the health and economic value of public health delivery, and identifies remaining research needs for the field.

Health Management and Policy Presentations
This webinar reviews methods for conducting cost studies in public health settings, including strategies for estimating the financial and ecnomic costs of delivering public health services, and analytic approaches to identifying factors that influence delivery costs. These types of studies are of increasing importance to policy and practice stakeholders given the need for evidence about the return-on-investment (ROI) generated through public health delivery.

Building The Science Of Public Health Delivery: Advances In Public Health Services And Systems Research, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
Efforts to improve the health and economic performance of the U.S. health system require evidence about how best to deliver public health strategies that protect health and prevent disease and injury on a population-wide basis. The field of public health services and systems research is building a "science of delivery" in public health that complements the evidence-based practice movement in medical care.

Public Health Delivery Systems And Population Health: What We Know And Need To Learn, Glen P. Mays
Glen Mays
Efforts to improve population health hinge on the performance of the complex and heterogeneous delivery systems that are charged with implementing public health programs and policies across the U.S. Rigorous research on public health delivery systems historically has been much more limited than research on the specific programs and policies they deliver. Correcting these gaps in knowledge and evidence will allow for accelerated progress in improving health and containing costs through prevention.
Estimating The Health And Economic Effects Of Public Health Spending, Glen P. Mays
Estimating The Health And Economic Effects Of Public Health Spending, Glen P. Mays
Glen Mays
Preventable health conditions account for more than 75% of the $2.7 trillion spent annually on health care in the U.S., yet less than 5% of these expenditures are devoted to public health programs and services that are designed to prevent and control disease and injury rather than to treat the downstream consequences of these conditions. Such limited expenditures in public health may contribute to the higher rates of preventable morbidity, mortality and excess medical costs experienced in the U.S. compared to other high-income countries. In this presentation, I update previous estimates of the health effects and medical cost offsets associated …

Fiscal pressures and policy imperatives have created a need for rigorous economic analyses of public health programs and policies. ROI analyses can reveal whether the benefits of public health strategies justify their costs, who realizes these benefits and costs, and under what circumstances.

Health Management and Policy Presentations
The principles and methods of CER and PCOR have developed primarily with therapeutics in mind, but they must also be applied to the study of public health programs, policies, and delivery systems. This session surveys the emerging field, and provides examples of CER/PCOR methods applied in public health settings using practice-based research networks (PBRNs).
