Full Description
This book explores how practitioners can advance public health objectives in the three main areas of law, technology, and multisectoral collaboration. For example, there must be clear compliance with new Affordable Care Act and Patient Protection laws. All the while, strides must be taken to advance data registry reporting and other IT networks. And, as the overarching theme must adhere to understanding and operationalizing social determinants of health, collaborative partnerships between health departments and hospitals and other community programs will take the forefront. This book is written with myriad stakeholders in mind.
