No new perspectives this Thanksgiving week. We began this blog 6 months ago with the same title as above…and the following statement:
Why am I starting a blog on issues and perspectives in the field of population health? It is because I believe we are at a "tipping point" in which a convergence of scholarship, policy, and practice initiatives seem poised to bring an overdue population health perspective to thinking about and acting on health and health improvement. The challenge of the next decade will be to find practical ways in which new approaches to financial and non-financial incentives and multi-sectoral partnerships can be applied to improve population health outcomes here and elsewhere.
Tune back in on December 1 as I continue our quest to meet this challenge with the first of a two-part post on healthcare cost containment and population health.
