Overview And Guidance Documents For Public Health Pbrns, Glen P. Mays
Overview And Guidance Documents For Public Health Pbrns, Glen P. Mays
Glen Mays
This brief provides an inventory of guidance documents and tools for use in developing, implementing, and evaluating practice-based research networks (PBRNs) in public health settings.
The Value Of Public Health Financial Data, Glen P. Mays
The Value Of Public Health Financial Data, Glen P. Mays
Glen Mays
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.
Vital Statistics: The State Of The Public Health Pbrn Program, Glen Mays
Vital Statistics: The State Of The Public Health Pbrn Program, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Public Health PBRN Program has continued to expand during the 2013 program year with new networks, new research projects, and expanded translation and dissemination initiatives. The program plays an increasingly powerful role in helping to transform the U.S. public health enterprise into a rapid-learning system for health improvement.
Testing Integrated Primary Care And Public Health Models For Prevention Delivery, Glen Mays
Testing Integrated Primary Care And Public Health Models For Prevention Delivery, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
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.
Public Health Roi: Evidence, Experience, And Remaining Questions, Glen Mays
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.
Cost Estimation Methods: Strategies And Examples For Public Health Services & Systems Research, Glen P. Mays, Michael E. Morris
Cost Estimation Methods: Strategies And Examples For Public Health Services & Systems Research, Glen P. Mays, Michael E. Morris
Glen Mays
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.
Accelerating And Expanding Knowledge Transfer In Public Health Settings, Glen Mays
Accelerating And Expanding Knowledge Transfer In Public Health Settings, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
Creating a "rapid-learning" system in public health requires mechanisms for the continuous exchange of knowledge and evidence among researchers, practice settings, and policy decision-makers. The open-access platform Frontiers in Public Health Services and Systems Research provides a new mechanism for this exchange.
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
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 …
Public Health Expenditures, Public Health Delivery Systems, And Population Health, Glen Mays
Public Health Expenditures, Public Health Delivery Systems, And Population Health, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
This seminar examines a series of approaches for estimating the health and economic effects attributable to public health expenditures in the U.S., along with a novel method for estimating economies of scale and scope in the delivery of public health services. The use of instrumental-variables techniques and network analytic methods are described in these research approaches.
