Description:Achieving substantial and lasting improvements in the health of individuals and populations will require significant changes to the U.S. healthcare delivery system. Among these changes is the opportunity to better coordinate and, in some cases, integrate primary care and public health activities and health delivery systems. The need for increased coordination, collaboration, and integration is evidenced by the fact that the quality and outcomes of healthcare have not kept pace with the resources invested in the system. Furthermore, services are often fragmented and delivered in isolated systems that do not benefit the patient or support improved outcomes.
Recognizing the need to coordinate efforts better across the public and private sectors, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of Sexually Transmitted Disease Prevention (DSTDP) funded a group of national organizations to explore the concept of public health and primary care integration, specifically related to STD prevention and service provision. The national organizations are the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), and National Coalition of STD Directors (NCSD). In collaboration with CDC/DSTDP, these organizations established the National Partners Collaborative on Public Health and Primary Care Integration for STD Prevention in March 2013.
The National Partners Collaborative met Aug. 15–16, 2013, in Atlanta; the meeting brought together local and state public health and primary care representatives to explore integration specific to STD prevention and service provision. This report provides an overview of the activities and planning process that resulted in the meeting and summarizes the dialogue from the meeting.
