  23. PopulationHealthPerspective • ‘Population Health’ – made in Canada term • Long tradition of Public Health & Health Promotion • Lalonde Report ‘A New Perspective on the Health of Canadians’ 1974 – suggested that changes in lifestyles or social & physical environments could have an impact on health

  24. Contd. • Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion 1986 (WHO Document) introduced the notion of Key Determinants of Health

  25. Departure from the concept of health as an absence of illness to a notion of health as “The capacity of people to adapt to, respond to, or control like’s challenges and changes” (Frankish 1996) • Second Report on the Health of Canadians Towards a Healthier Future (1999) proposes that a population health approach focuses on the interrelated conditions or determinants that most influence health and applies the evidence to suggest broad priority areas

  26. Population Health Template: Key Elements and Actions that define a Population Health Approach • Focus on the Health of Populations • Address the Determinants of Health and their Interactions • Base Decisions on Evidence • Increase Upstream Investments

  27. Contd. • Apply Multiple Strategies • Collaborate across Sectors and Levels • Employ Mechanisms for Public Involvement • Demonstrate Accountability for Health Outcomes

  28. Focus on the Health of Populations A population health approach assess health status and health status inequities over the lifespan at the aggregate or population level

  29. Address the Determinants of Health and their Interactions A population health approach measures and analyses the full spectrum of factors, and their interactions, known to influence and contribute to health. Commonly referred to as the determinants of health, these factors include: social, economic and physical environments, early childhood development, personal health practices, individual capacity and coping skills, human biology an health services

  30. Base Decisions on Evidence A population health approach uses “evidence-based decision making”. Evidence on health status, the determinants of health and effectiveness of interventions is used to assess health, identify priorities and develop strategies to improve health

  31. Increase Upstream Investments The potential for improved population health is maximised by directing increased efforts and investments “upstream” to maintain health and to address root causes of health and illness. This will help to create a more balanced and sustainable health system

  32. Apply Multiple Strategies A population health approach integrates activities across the wide range of interventions that make up the health continuum; from health care to prevention, protection, health promotion and action on the broader determinants of health

  33. Collaborate across Sectors and Levels A population health approach calls for shared responsibility and accountability for health outcomes and multiple sectors and levels whose activities directly or indirectly impact health or the factors known to influence it

  34. Employ Mechanisms for Public Involvement A population health approach promotes citizen participation in health improvement. Citizens are provided opportunities to contribute meaningfully to the development of health priorities and strategies and the review of health-related outcomes

  35. Demonstrate Accountability for Health Outcomes Population health focuses on health outcomes and on determining the degree of change that can actually be attributed to interventions
