Transforming Public Health through Collaboration with Health Care

November 14, 2016: 3 p.m.- 4:30 p.m. ET
In recent years, there has been an increased focus on public health departments working across sectors, to improve communities. As limited funds continue to shrink and community needs evolve, public health and health care can enjoy mutually beneficial relationships to improve health and well-being. Whether for controlling costs, improving health outcomes, or contributing to a healthy workforce, each sector has an interest in being both effective and efficient. Join PHNCI for commentary on the importance of this collaboration and learn about two national initiatives -- the State Health Values and Strategies program and the newly launched Digital Bridge project --  aimed at improving population health through reforming the delivery of health care services and exchanging information between sectors.
