What is the ‘secret sauce’ for aligning sectors for improved population health?
From PHIL’s Aligning Systems for Health research with ACHs, we suggest that when seeking to align sectors for improved population health:
- MSC practitioners should ensure diverse and representative inclusion in collaborative decision-making and establish principles and equitable processes that foster trust.
- Funders should offer unrestricted grants that are not tied to specific outcomes or near-term deliverables and use measures of collaboration dynamics as near-term process outcomes leading to longer-term impact outcomes like improved equity.
- Policymakers should maintain political support for and public investments in health-focused MSCs such as ACHs.
Learn more about recommendations for aligning in the PHIL brief, “Recommendations for Policymakers, Funders, and Practitioners Seeking to Improve Population Health Through Multisector Collaboration.”
