Goals

Health Across the Lifespan addresses the question of “What will it look like if California is the healthiest state in the nation?” We should aspire to be a state where Californians at all ages and stages of life can thrive. Health Across the Lifespan sets out key milestones of health and well-being in three critical life stages:

HEALTH ACROSS THE LIFESPAN

Getting a healthy start sets the stage for health and well-being for a person’s entire life. The nine priorities represent a spectrum of important dimensions of children’s health and well-being from infancy to the teenage years. There is increasing evidence that a number of adult health and medical conditions have their origins in early childhood, which is why tracking a range of issues in childhood is critical.

Healthy Beginnings - Laying the Foundation for a Healthy Life

Healthy Beginnings Priorities• Safe Births• Vaccinations• Childhood Trauma Prevention• Early Learning• Childhood Asthma Reduction

• Childhood Fitness and Healthy Diets• Childhood Obesity and Diabetes• Adolescent Tobacco Use Prevention• Mental Health and Well-Being

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a “state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” The following six priorities represent key aspects of living well. A particular focus is placed on preventing and managing chronic disease, given the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and the impact they have on the state’s residents.

Living Well - Preventing and Managing Chronic Disease

Living Well Priorities• Health Status• Fitness and Healthy Diets• Tobacco Use Prevention

• Controlled High Blood Pressure/High Cholesterol• Obesity and Diabetes• Mental Health and Well-Being

This is one of the most difficult stages of life, and yet, in great need of attention to improve the care and experience of individuals who are dying. These are three priorities to track whether patients facing advanced age and illness are obtaining the kinds of services that would enable them to maintain independence and dignity consistent with their wishes to the greatest degree possible.

End of Life - Maintaining Dignity and Independence

End of Life Priorities• Hospitalization During the End of Life• Palliative Care and Hospice Care• Advance Care Planning

The goals and priorities described above are taken from the LGHC 2012 Task Force Report. To see the report and get more information on Let’s Get Healthy California, visit

Pathways to Health addresses the question of “What will it take for California to be the healthiest state in the nation?” Three goals are identified which cover the practice and policy changes needed to improve the quality and efficiency of the health care system and to make community environments more conducive to being healthy.

PATHWAYS TO HEALTH

Creating Healthy Communities - Enabling Healthy Living

Creating Healthy Communities Priorities• Healthy Food Outlets• Walking and Biking• Safe Communities

Numerous studies have demonstrated that where we live plays a major role in our health. A variety of community conditions enhance or create barriers to health, from the level of air pollution to the availability of parks and “green space” and access to fresh produce. People need communities that are safe and provide opportunities for active living and healthy eating. These three priorities support people in developing and maintaining healthy behaviors, especially those related to two of the main contributors of chronic disease—diet and physical activity.

Being the healthiest state in the nation will require the health care system to be better aligned toward population health goals and outcomes. The system should be patient-centered and look beyond illness to health. To achieve these four priorities, health care systems and plans across the state are already innovating ways to redesign the health delivery system.

Redesigning the Health System - Efficient, Safe, and Patient-Centered

Redesigning the Health System Priorities• Access to Primary and Specialty Care• Culturally and Linguistically

Appropriate Services

• Coordinated Outpatient Care• Hospital Safety and Quality of Care

Lowering the overall cost of care is critical for all Californians to be able to have access to affordable coverage and care, as well as for the fiscal health of the state. Although Califor-nia’s per capita spending on health care is the 9th lowest in the country, it is still growing at a faster pace than inflation or than the growth of the economy. It is crucial to reign in these costs through these five priorities to reduce the financial burden on families, businesses, and the state.

Lowering the Cost of Care - Making Coverage Affordable

Lowering the Cost of Care Priorities• People without Insurance• Affordable Care and Coverage• Receiving Care in an Integrated System

• Payment Policies that Reward Value• Transparency in Cost and Care

The goals and priorities described above are taken from the LGHC 2012 Task Force Report. To see the report and get more information on Let’s Get Healthy California, visit
