Pathways to Population Health: Gather Resources, Align Community Efforts, and Build Healthy Communities

Healthcare alone cannot finance and deliver better health outcomes. Transforming healthcare delivery requires an entire community. With Pathways to Population Health, pediatrician and population health consultant Nathan Fleming shares how communities can unite behind a common goal of improving healthcare for all. Do the financial incentives in healthcare align with population health priorities? What barriers are preventing progress on population health initiatives? Dr. Fleming answers these questions and explains how this challenge requires collaboration between local government, public health, healthcare systems, nonprofits, and social service agencies. By reforming population health infrastructure and financing, you can: -improve health outcomes; -benefit working families through better-designed programs; -be smart about gathering resources; -capture community members’ attention while aligning efforts; and -create measurable, effective collaborations for all.
