New NQF Resource: Improving Population Health by Working with Communities: Action Guide 3.0Wednesday, August 31, 2016 - Check out the National Quality Forum's (NQF) new resource, "Improving Population Health by Working with Communities: Action Guide 3.0." The Action Guide is a framework to help multi-sector groups work together to improve population health by addressing 10 interrelated elements for success and using the related resources as needed. Like a "how-to" manual, the Action Guide is organized by these 10 elements and contains definitions, recommendations, practical examples, and a range of resources to help communities achieve their shared goals and make lasting improvements in population health. It is intentionally brief and written in plain language to be as accessible as possible for all types of stakeholders at the local, state, regional, and national levels to take action. The Population Health Framework Committee was co-chaired by Public Health Institute Senior Fellow Steven Teutsch. Download your copy here. |
