description Information on the economic effect of poor population health is needed to engage the business community in population health improvement. In a competitive global market, the United States has high health care costs and poor outcomes (measured by such factors as healthy and productive lives) compared with other countries.

We describe a long-term approach to population health, including incentives, and identify what is needed to engage business leadership in population health improvement.
