Promoting Excellence
Population and Community Health Approaches
Abstract
POPULATION HEALTH recognizes the challenges of incorporating social and environmental factors into health services. The current and increasing health care workforce gap and population inequities serve as multiple barriers to Universal Access and Equitable Health Care. The urgency to resolve population health issues is not new. However, in recent years there is an increasing awareness that the main stakeholders in the health sector, along with the community, should improve their contributions for greater quality, equity, relevance, and efficiency in health care delivery. To this end, a unity of purpose must link key health actors. To meaningfully mobilize talents and resources, a clear understanding and recognition of the role of all members of the health team and community, along with culturally sound best practices must be established.
