Improving a Community’s Population Health: You can’t do it Alone
Journal Title: Public Health Open Access - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
This article discusses how community health organizations can break out of their silos and start positively impacting their community’s health in an organized manner. Improving a community’s health requires that the community’s public health department, health care institutions, and the community partners break out of their comfort silo zones and work collaboratively. The Community Population Health Expansion Matrix discussed in the article details the steps that need to be taken to break out of the cycle of comfort silo zones.
