Description
Subject/Background: For many years, placemaking trends explored concepts with achieving livable cities. In parallel, healthcare systems have been exploring how to reach out to the community they serve. Challenges include a) overcoming inequity in healthcare access; b) motivating population in healthy living, c) determining ROI on strategies, and d) achieving reduction in healthcare costs.
Drivers: The drivers in “livable city” concepts stem from civic interest in attracting and retaining residents and businesses to fuel economic development. The drivers for healthcare institutions are responding to changes in healthcare reimbursement (moving from fee for service to a proactive care model). The goal is improved community health and avoiding development of costly chronic illnesses.
The Solutions: This workshop would explore providing community health from three separate perspectives, first - the healthcare provider, addressing changes in reimbursement; second is community leadership – the growth of “livable city” concepts and lastly from the perspective of non-traditional Healthcare providers ( such as the YMCA and Amazon) entering the reimbursable healthcare market.
Summary: This workshop is the convergence of theory on population health management and of “livable cities” initiatives. Identifying two parallel/separate approaches, we are merging these two ideas along with overlaying the growing presence of non-traditional healthcare providers (the YMCA and retailers) in providing healthcare services. The significance is generating discussion exploring how healthcare providers, civic leadership and non-traditional providers can coordinate community health goals, providing effective wellness opportunities and reduction in healthcare costs.
