Reorienting Health Care and Business Sector Investment Priorities Toward Health and Well-Being

On December 3, 2018, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop, hosted by New York University (NYU) Langone Health in New York City, to explore how evolving concepts of value in health care and business investments are leading to a shift in resources toward investments in health and well-being for all. Workshop participants explored what industry leaders are doing to make progress and avoid pitfalls, tools and platforms that are useful to these efforts, and lessons and insights that stakeholders can use to help reinforce the shift toward healthier investments. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.Table of ContentsFront Matter1 Introduction2 Connecting Health and the Economy: The Surgeon General's Call to Action3 Evolving Values and Priorities in Health Care4 Evolving Values and Priorities Among Business Investors5 Case Example of Investment by a Health Care Organization6 A Case Example of Business Investment7 Reflections on Leadership Investment PrioritiesAppendix A: ReferencesAppendix B: Workshop AgendaAppendix C: Biographical SketchesAppendix D: Readings and ResourcesAppendix E: Commissioned Infographic: Path Toward a Well-Being EconomyAppendix F: Small Group Exercise Materials
