Common Health Coalition

The partnerships made before and during the COVID-19 pandemic are vital to the growth of our health system. The Common Health Coalition aims to ensure that we don’t lose sight of what works as we prioritize the health of populations. Chelsea Cipriano, MPH, Managing Director at the Common Health Coalition, shares more about what this collaboration looks like in practice.

The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in remarkable collaboration between public health and health care institutions. But without intentional efforts, the end of the U.S. Public Health Emergency could lead to a return to an era when these institutions’ relationships were more limited and their population health improvement efforts less integrated. This is concerning, given that collaboration between public health and health care will be needed to overcome the multiple health crises facing the United States today. The Washington State Department of Health (WA-DOH), the state public health agency, identified health systems and workforce transformation as one of its five strategic priorities. To further define and operationalize its vision for health systems and workforce transformation, WA-DOH conducted an environmental scan that led to the identification of six priorities for public health and health care to align on systems strengthening, as follows: (1) enhancing robust whole-person care; (2) the primary care and rural health safety net; (3) health workforce intelligence and development; (4) population health intelligence; (5) innovation and learning; and (6) health system resilience. WA-DOH is using this six-priority framework to execute its vision for health in Washington, in line with the Quintuple Aim for health care improvement and the fundamental public health goal of ensuring an effective system that enables equitable access to the services and the care people need to be healthy. Public health agencies at the state or local level, looking to partner to improve health care delivery in their jurisdictions, can take advantage of the six-priority framework expounded in this paper: https://nej.md/48Tj2Ah Charles Chima, MD, DrPH, Les Becker, MBA, PMP, Kristin Peterson, JD, Jessica Todorovich, Umair A.

In response to the unprecedented 2022 mpox outbreak, the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene used lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic to promote access to the mpox therapeutic tecovirimat. This report showcases the success of this approach, which resulted in tecovirimat treatment being prescribed to approximately one-third of all patients with mpox in New York City. It also outlines how cross-sector partnerships can help respond to other disease outbreaks, aligning with the Common Health Coalition’s mission of increased emergency preparedness.
