KEYNOTE PRESENTERS Wednesday, August 9 9:15-10:15 a.m. Keynote Presentation: Foundational Public Health Services Framework Susan Zahner, DrPH, MPH, RN- University of Wisconsin-Madison Public health practice continues to adapt to incorporate new evidence to address emerging and ongoing population health needs. This adaptation is occurring in the midst of the puzzle of fiscal challenges and evolving frameworks defining public and population health service delivery. This presentation will help public health nurses make sense of contemporary frameworks, including the Foundational Public Health Services Framework and the Determinants of Population Health, that are driving public health practice and health care system improvement efforts. Public health nurses will also gain an appreciation for the skill-set required for practice using these frameworks, including finding, understanding, and using evidence; functioning through inter-professional teams; and partnering with communities across organizational boundaries. 3
