Dialogue About the Workforce for Population Health Improvement

The Roundtable on Population Health Improvement will convene a one-day public workshop that will explore the broad and multidisciplinary nature of the population health workforce.  The workshop will discuss:

(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, and peer-to-peer chronic disease management educators within the context of population health; and

(3) Leveraging the competencies of other (nonmedical and nonpublic 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.

The workshop will also be webcast.

A proceedings of the presentations and discussion at the workshop will be prepared after the workshop.

An agenda is forthcoming.
