Health Systems Integration

Health Systems Integration at NASTAD aims to bridge public health and health care systems to ensure that all systems and payers are effective partners in ending the HIV and hepatitis epidemics. An overarching goal of this work is to support partnerships between health care system payers, delivery systems, and health departments to address social determinants of health, health care disparities, and achieve optimal population health outcomes. The program works to build the capacity of health department staff; to engage in health system transformation and payment delivery reform activities meaningfully. We believe NASTAD members are uniquely positioned to engage state and local policymakers around new and emerging health coverage options and other health systems reforms to improve access to a range of public health prevention and care services.
