Priorities in Action: Building A Healthier Chicago

Priorities in Action: Building A Healthier Chicago



Priorities In Action: Building A Healthier Chicago

This month’s edition of the National Quality Strategy’s Priorities in Action features Building a Healthier Chicago, a consortium of several hundred stakeholders convened to address the health of Chicagoans by creating a culture of healthy living in major social settings throughout the city, including worksites, faith communities, schools, and restaurants.
Together, Building a Healthier Chicago’s efforts are laying the foundation by improving the accessibility of healthy food, and, perhaps more importantly, a more knowledgeable and empowered population armed with the tools necessary to make meaningful long-term lifestyle and policy changes.
Members of the health care community can focus on the six National Quality Strategy priorities to guide efforts to improve health and health care quality and use one or more of the nine levers to identify core business functions, resources, and/or actions that may serve as means for achieving improved health and health care quality.
Building a Healthier Chicago’s initiatives promote the wide use of best practices to enable healthy living in major social settings through Learning and Technical Assistance; Certification, Accreditation, and Regulation; Incentives and Benefit Design; and Innovation and Diffusion.
National Quality Strategy: Better Care. Healthy People/Healthy Communities. Affordable Care
