Why Are Americans So Unhealthy? Health systems. large uninsured population limited access to primary care inaccessible or unaffordable health care lapses in the quality and safety of care outside of hospitals. Health behaviors. Americans are currently less likely to smoke and may drink alcohol less heavily than people in peer countries, Americans consume the most calories per person, higher rates of drug abuse less likely to use seat belts involved in more traffic accidents that involve alcohol more likely to use firearms in acts of violence U.S. Health in International Perspective: Shorter Lives, Poorer Health Institute of Medicine January 2013
Why Are Americans So Unhealthy? Social and economic conditions. the income of Americans is higher on average than in other countries United States has higher levels of poverty (especially child poverty) and income inequality and lower rates of social mobility Other countries are outpacing the United States in the education of young people Americans benefit less from safety net programs that can buffer the negative health effects of poverty and other social disadvantages Physical environments. U.S. communities and the built environment are more likely than those in peer countries to be designed around automobiles U.S. Health in International Perspective: Shorter Lives, Poorer Health Institute of Medicine January 2013

Build a healthy healthcare system that balances treatment and prevention
Build on a Community-oriented primary care (COPC) model Community-Oriented Primary Care (COPC) is an approach to health care delivery that undertakes responsibility for the health of a defined population. COPC is practiced by combining epidemiologic study and social interventions with clinical care of individual patients, so that the primary care practice itself becomes a community medicine program. Both the individual patient and the community or population are the foci of diagnosis, treatment and ongoing surveillance.
Invest in primary care $8,000 $7,000 $6,000 $5,000 $4,000 $3,000 $2,000 $1,000 $0 $7,590 $6,913 $420 $260 Health Care Spending Per Person Primary Care Spending Per Person Access to primary care services produces better health outcomes, higher patient satisfaction, and lower health care spending.

Primary Care is a Public Good US adults who have a primary care physician have 33 percent lower health care costs and 19 percent lower odds of dying than those who see only a specialist. As a nation, we would save $67 billion each year if everybody used a primary care provider as their usual source of care. http://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/health-reform-and- You/Primary-Care-Our-First-Line-of-Defense.aspx?page=all

Build on the work of our Rural health team award winner Open Door Health Center s mobile health team Community Health Centers are great example of community-oriented primary care, and mobile teams perhaps even more so. ODHC s mobile teams bring two 40-foot motor coaches one equipped to meet medical and behavioral health needs and the other for dental to regular stops in three counties with more planned in four additional counties. In one year on the road, have already served patients from 26 counties. The Sibley public health director calls them a critical resource for rural counties in southern MN.
