Dialogue about the Workforce for Population Health Improvement: Proceedings of a Workshop

By Board on Population Health and Public Health Practice, Roundtable on Population Health Improvement, Health and Medicine Division, et al.

On March 21, 2019, the Roundtable on Population Health Improvement of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a 1-day workshop to explore the broad and multidisciplinary nature of the population health workforce. Workshop participants explored methods for facilitating a population health orientation/perspective among public health and health care leaders and professionals; framing the work of personnel such as community health workers (CHWs), health navigators, and peer-to-peer chronic disease management educators within the context of population health; and leveraging the competencies of public and private sector workforces, such as education, transportation, and planning, that are working to include a health in all policies, community livability, or well-being orientation in their activities. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
