AcademyHealth's Payment Reform for Population Health initiative and the Network for Regional Healthcare Improvement hosted a two-day workshop, “Striving Toward a Culture of Health: How Do Non-Medical Needs Factor into Alternative Payment Models?”, which convened five multi-sector teams, comprised of health care sector and non-health care sector partners, and led by regional health improvement collaboratives. The workshop provided information from content experts and fostered shared learning across communities to inform next steps in their own specific community-based collaborative projects. The workshop focused on four key topic areas and the related barriers that potentially influence the conditions and collaborations necessary to support non-clinical community-wide population health services.

This profile highlights one of these topic areas, the role of a trusted convener and its governance structure in effectively managing a collaborative community partnership focused on population health interventions, and addresses the barriers and lessons learned from the workshop.
