Appendix C

Statement of Task

An ad hoc committee will plan and conduct a public workshop that will feature presentations and discussion of applying a health lens to decisions made in the private sector. Applying a health lens refers to giving consideration for potential health effects in decisions made in many relevant domains, such as education, transportation, and housing. This workshop will build on a 2013 workshop on Applying a Health Lens to Decision Making in Non-Health Sectors, but with a greater focus on policy, practices, and investments in the private sector and in public–private collaboration. The committee will identify specific topics to be addressed, develop the agenda, select and invite speakers and other participants, and moderate the discussions. A summary of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.

In 2013 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Roundtable on Population Health Improvement organized a workshop to discuss opportunities to foster a health in all policies approach in non-health sectors such as housing, transportation, defense, education, and others. Much of the discussion focused on public-sector organizations, and roundtable members saw the need for further discussion of the role of the private sector, both as stakeholder and partner.

On June 4, 2015, the roundtable convened a follow-up workshop focused on applying a health lens to the role and potential of businesses in improving economic well-being and community health outcomes. Participants explored what businesses can offer the movement to improve population health and areas of potential, as well as models for how businesses can impact the determinants of health, and developed a platform for discussing how to promote and support health in all business practices, policies, and investments. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
