Dialogue about the Workforce for Population Health Improvement: A Workshop

Completed

The workshop explored the broad and multidisciplinary nature of the population health workforce, including

(1) facilitating a population health orientation/perspective among public health and health care leaders and professionals;

(2) framing the work of personnel such as community health workers, health navigators, peer-to-peer chronic disease management educators within the context of population health; and

(3) leveraging the competencies of other (non-medical and non-public health) workforces such as education, transportation, and planning, within the public and private sectors working to include a “health in all policies,” community livability, or well-being orientation in their activities.
