Collaboration between public health and clinical care began at the dawn of public health history. Over many decades of development in each area, however, wider divisions of labor have occurred. Improving the public’s health status and addressing multiple determinants of health requires new approaches to public health and clinical care collaboration. This session will describe innovative approaches to reconnecting public health and clinical care in new and sustainable ways. Such ways includes: Cost-benefit of prevention, incentivizing prevention through delivery and payment reform, and primary care & public health collaborations.

Session Objectives: 1. Identify multiple models of public health/clinical care collaboration 2. Describe the relationship between public health, preventive health care and clinical medicine 3. Discuss strategies to develop innovations in public health/clinical care collaborations
