Understand how prevention and population healthcare fit with and enhance hospital/healthcare corporate strategy Understand incentives/disincentives to

encourage hospital/healthcare participation in population health issues Leverage community benefit activities to

truly benefit the community Collaborate where there is no competitive

small wins Shared goal of population health starts with a

shared goal for one health outcome

IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC Hx LEADERS

“At some level, we have both a moral and an economic imperative to change how the system works: An to save money, reduce costs and waste.; and a to both save lives and improve health… “Those with a

for a given population must own it.”5-6
