This article considers 2 related themes that address population health outcomes and the contributions to those outcomes by time, place, individual behaviors and choices, and activities of various social sectors. First, what does it mean to "produce" population health, and how can the production of health be understood empirically? Second, through what processes can incentives be modified to improve population health? Among the issues that arise are understanding the mechanisms through which paying for population health works and how the health-producing incentives materialize in various sectors, especially those whose primary functions are not generally viewed as fostering better population health.
本文探讨了两个相关主题，即人口健康结果以及时间、地点、个人行为和选择以及各个社会部门的活动对这些结果的贡献。首先，“产生”人口健康意味着什么，如何从经验上理解健康的产生？其次，通过什么过程可以修改激励措施来改善人口健康？出现的问题包括理解支付人口健康费用的机制以及在各个部门中实现健康产生激励的方式，特别是那些其主要功能通常不被视为促进更好的人口健康的部门。
