Exhibit 4 Super-integrator Model Su per -in teg rat or Employers and Community Organizations Healthcare Organizations Incentives and Resources for a Community Partnership Business Model However such cross-sector business models evolve, new incentives and resources are needed to make the models deliver results. Incentives as outlined in another collection of population health essays on incentives featured in a special issue of Preventing Chronic Disease (Mcginnis 2010), while moral incentives, framed as either the right thing to do or corporate social responsibility, can be important motivators to be celebrated, they will not likely alone deliver the performance needed for improving health outcomes. in some instances, regulatory incentives, such as laws requiring seat belt use in vehicles and limiting smoking in public spaces, are appropriate. However, such Governments and Schools mandates are often viewed as coercion and can be controversial. it is therefore unlikely that population health objectives will be fully achieved through regulation. Steady progress will primarily come through stronger remunerative or financial incentives, whereby material rewards accrue to individuals or organizations in exchange for acting in a particular way. But on the other hand, it is probable that all three types of incentives will be needed to incite broad action and investment to allow a community health business model to develop and thrive. good intentions will not be adequate-each sector must see how improving population health contributes to its own primary mission, in the form of productive employees for business, and in the form of students equipped to learn for educators. each sector must also see economic alignment of its business model with the community health business model. 1 2 * f ro ntier s o f h ea lt h s e r vic e s ma na g e m e nt 30 :4
