Overview

What if we can have better health outcomes, at a lower cost, now and for the future? Seriously. Health is driven by four factors: clinical (10%), social (20%), genetics (30%), and behavior (40%). And yet, over 80% of our current health spending is on clinical services. The result? A declining life span and the highest cost per capita in the world. None of us working in public health or medicine should be satisfied with that result. We can do better. The global pandemic has ushered in a brand new day - and unprecedented opportunities in medicine and public health: Forced acknowledgment of the interdependence of public health and medicine Higher and more expansive public expectations Funding availability, and Most importantly, the restlessness of those in the health and healthcare professions to make changes to the traditional system to get better results. The opportunity to change the systems of medicine and public health for the better has never been greater. The good news? The pot of money being spent on health and health care is abundant. The bad news? It's not being spent in the right places. The questions we must all ask ourselves right now are: What outcomes are our health dollars currently driving? What outcomes are we satisfied achieving together? How can we achieve greater health equity? Imagine if we systematically joined the care of the individual (medicine) to the care of the community (public health). How could that change health outcomes now and for the future? Both/And: Medicine & Public Health Together illuminates the path to create an ongoing partnership between public health and medicine, and shows the measurable return on investment already being seen in early adopter communities. Dr. Katie Kaney, a health thought leader with 25 years of experience spanning public health, healthcare, and business, shows exactly how we can use this unprecedented time in human history to make changes to our current health systems now that will pay dividends for decades. BUY NOW and become part of the growing movement to integrate public health and medicine for better health outcomes at a lower cost.

Following the passage of the Medicare Act way back in 1965, Public Health and Health Care parted ways and have never reconciled! Our nation wants an instant fix in an emergency and otherwise believes that healthcare means low prices for pharmaceuticals. While, sadly, our average life expectancy has been steadily declining and our $4 Trillion investment in delivering health care services has utterly failed to improve health. Enter Katie Kaney and her new book where she provides a road map to bring health care and public health side by side on the road to a future of improved health for entire nation. Policymakers, doctors, insurance companies, and in fact all healthcare stakeholders should read this new book so we can reconcile, once and for all, health care and public health. Kudos to Katie for showing us the future. - David B. Nash, MD, MBA, Founding Dean Emeritus, Dr. Raymond C. & Doris N. Grandon Professor of Health Policy, Jefferson College of Population Health Both/And offers an extraordinary vision of a world in which public health and medicine join forces to improve the health of individuals and communities. Dr. Kaney and chapter authors provide compelling exemplars to demonstrate the benefits of a Both/And approach, including diseases and deaths averted, cost savings and a more rational, people-centered system. It is a must read...now! - Barbara K. Rimer, DrPH, Alumni Distinguished Professor, Dean Emerita, Gillings School of Global Public Health, UNC Chapel Hill Dr. Kaney is accomplished, well-seasoned, and has an extraordinary background combined with the skill of a visionary. This makes her very unique. Katie has blended all of this together to create a roadmap on combining medicine with public health with building the road to improve health and health equity across all of our diverse communities and populations that we are privileged to serve. Let's Do This! - Craig Richardville, MBA, FACHE, CHCIO, FCHIME, Chief Digital and Information Officer, Intermountain Healthcare
