The potential for population health reform could be enhanced by assessing whether we have made the most of policies and resources already available. Opportunities to promote population health independent of major changes in resources or public authority include the following: enforcing laws already in effect; clarifying and updating the application of long-standing policies; leveraging government's and the private sector's purchasing and investment clout; facilitating access to programs by everyone who is eligible for them; evaluating the effectiveness of population health programs, agencies, and policies; and intervening to stop agencies and policies from operating at cross-purposes.
通过评估我们是否充分利用了现有政策和资源，可能会增强人口健康改革的潜力。在不改变资源或公共权力的情况下促进人口健康的机会包括以下几个方面：执行已经生效的法律；澄清和更新长期政策的应用；利用政府和私营部门的购买和投资影响力；为每个符合条件的人提供获取计划的机会；评估人口健康计划、机构和政策的有效性；以及干预以阻止机构和政策背道而驰。
