The entrenched separation of primary care and public health in the United States has been damaging and self-perpetuating. As both sectors struggle to meet their own challenges, population health has deteriorated due to their failure to integrate. For the first time, The Practical Playbook offers professionals in primary care and public health a roadmap to integrating their work with the larger goals of population health. Drawing on the experiences of hundreds of public health and primary care professionals from across the US, this book explains: DT Why is population health important? DT What a

Die Technologien der Digitalen Gesundheit werden die Beziehungsarbeit in der Pflege und die sozialen Beziehungen des alternden Menschen grundlegend transformieren. Der Band widmet sich drei ethisch-rechtlichen Spannungsfeldern. Im Spannungsfeld von Personenwurde und digitalisierter Pflege geht es um den Ausgleich individueller Vorstellungen vom guten Leben mit jenen der digitalisierten Technologien. So ermoglichen neue Informationstechnologien sowohl mehr Selbstbestimmung, aber auch eine luckenlosere Kontrolle des Alltagslebens. Analog kann Technik im Spannungsfeld von Freiheit und Sicherheit einen Aspekt auf Kosten des anderen verstarken. Zuletzt geht es im Spannungsfeld von Simulation und Authentizitat um die menschlichen Folgen der Konstruktion von Wirklichkeit. Mit Beitragen von Michael Fruh, Alina Gasser, Elisabeth Haslinger-Baumann; Kathrin Janowski, Dominik Kaiser, Reinhard Klaushofer, Claudia Paganini, Johann Platzer, Eveline Prochaska, Karin Reinmuller, Martina Schmidhuber und Willibald Stronegger.

Soon after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a pandemic, the World Bank made available rapid financing to strengthen countries' ability to respond to COVID-19 through a multiphase programmatic approach (MPA). The MPA's immediate objective is to prevent, detect, and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. By July 2020, the World Bank's board of directors had approved financing for 74 countries. This evaluation aims to determine the extent to which response activities were planned at the primary health care (PHC) level, and the extent to which PHC was leveraged within the first wave of MPA projects was determined by the number of PHC activities listed in the project components and indicators. Of 74 projects evaluated, 70 (94 percent) had at least one PHC-related activity listed in the components. Frequently planned activities at the PHC level primarily included surveillance, handwashing, and community engagement-related activities. MPA projects did not prioritize a commitment to maintaining essential service delivery at the PHC level. Several projects showed a greater commitment to integrating response activities at the PHC level, including Cote d'Ivoire, Egypt, Liberia, and Papua New Guinea, Senegal, the Republic of Congo. Notably, except for Egypt and Papua New Guinea, these projects were in countries that have been affected or threatened by the Ebola pandemic. These countries emphasized the integration of pandemic response activities at the community level. Overall, this evaluation highlights three takeaways: (1) the most common project activities related to PHC focused on surveillance, community engagement, and disease prevention; (2) among MPA projects, those in the sub-Saharan African region integrated more pandemic response activities at the PHC level than did other regions; and (3) maintaining essential primary health care services was not a priority among MPA projects in the initial phase of the response.
