... The workshop was organized by an ad hoc planning committee to discuss the growing attention to population health, from health care delivery and health insurance organizations to the social determinants of health and their individual-level manifestation as health-related social needs, such as patients' need for transportation and housing. The charge to the planning committee is provided in Box 1-1.

... The roundtable vision is of a strong, healthful, and productive society that cultivates equal opportu nity and human capital, and rests on the recognition that outcomes such as improved life expectancy, quality of life, and health for all are shaped by interdependent social, economic, environmental, genetic, behavioral, and health care factors, and will require robust national and community based actions and dependable resources to achieve it. Magnan informed the audience that the Health and Medicine ­ ivision of the National Academies conducted two other activities D related to the topic of the workshop on addressing nonmedical but health-related social needs and social determinants of health.

... Throughout the workshop, speakers and panelists highlighted the interwoven efforts of health systems and their many partners to move beyond what takes place in clinical settings and to collaboratively identify and respond to the needs of patients and communities. Magnan concluded her remarks with thanks to the planning committee, which, in addition to herself, included Philip Alberti of the Association of American Medical Colleges, Marc Gourevitch of New York University Langone Health, Sally Kraft of Dartmouth-Hitchcock, Jeff Levi of The George Washington University, Rahul Rajkumar of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, and Lourdes Rodriguez of The University of Texas at Austin.

... A METAPHOR FOR FRAMING THE WORKSHOP In his reflections at the close of the workshop, Bobby Milstein of ReThink Health shared a colleague's quote that "health care is a planet that thinks of itself as the sun." The speakers, Milstein asserted, illustrated a new standard for how health care institutions are working to reposition the systems that thought of themselves as the center of the universe, and that have been resourced accordingly. The workshop, he added, shares stories of how varied leaders are "marrying" health system efforts and the existing, longstanding community infrastructure of human services and other organizations.
