Dr. Fagerlin: Well, there is a lot of difference components of population health but one thing I really want to focus on today is prevention. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and so really what's important is to prevent people from getting sick in the first place because if we can prevent people from getting sick, we have a healthier population and we have less health care costs.
Interviewer: But that's pretty challenging to accomplish.
Dr. Fagerlin: It sure is and actually how we do that is a million-dollar question and that is what health care systems across the country are spending a lot of time thinking about. It's much easier for us and we can do this really well is to prescribe a medication. It's much harder to understand how health care systems can change people's behavior where they work, where they live and where they play.
