Reorienting Health Care and Finance Sector Investment Priorities toward Health and Well-Being: A Workshop

Completed

On December 3, 2018, the Roundtable on Population Health Improvement held a one-day, public workshop that explored some of the factors that can spur change in economic priorities in two spotlight industries: health care and financial services. Both industries are in the midst of a quest to reorient decision-making regarding when, where, and with whom to invest resources that affect all lives and livelihoods, and thus shape the conditions for health and well-being.

Description

An ad hoc committee will plan and convene a one-day public workshop that will explore some of the factors that can spur change in economic priorities in two spotlight industries: health care and financial services. Both industries are in the midst of a quest to reorient decision-making regarding when, where, and with whom to invest resources that affect all lives and livelihoods, and thus shape the conditions for health and well-being. The workshop will feature invited presentations and discussion that will explore (1) the history and current state of the shift to new investment priorities (e.g., environmental sustainability, worker well-being), (2) what industry leaders are doing to make progress and avoid pitfalls; (3) tools and platforms that are useful to these efforts; and (4) lessons and insights that stakeholders can use to help reinforce the shift toward healthier investments. The committee will plan and organize the workshop, select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate discussions. A proceedings and a proceedings in brief of the presentations and discussion at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
