Policy Analysis of Integrating Primary Care, Public Health, and Community-Based Organizations During Public Health Emergencies

Building on their recent work, the Center for Health Security team at Johns Hopkins will identify and prioritize federal policy opportunities for integration of primary care, public health, and community-based organizations (CBOs) focused on: 1) advancing payment reform to incentivize integration; 2) engaging CBOs in public health–primary care models; and 3) improving data and linkages. The team will use a mixed-methods, rapid-cycle approach, including a literature review, key informant interviews, a working group, and an advisory panel. They will summarize findings in a report that also will feature recommendations for federal legislative, policy, and program reforms.
