Abstract
Many health care systems are shifting to value-based care and beginning to integrate population-based strategies into care delivery. Preventive care is an important domain of this work. Properly applied, these services improve population health and reduce health care costs. Preventive care comprises a substantial proportion of quality metrics for which providers are held accountable. This article discusses prevention through a public health lens, highlighting opportunities in ambulatory care settings to collaborate with community-based organizations and community health workers, redefine primary care teams, and design population-based approaches to improve health.
