This book will orient public health scholars and practitioners, as well as professionals from related fields such as the social sciences and design professions, to the tools and skills needed for effective urban health research, including foundational concepts, data sources, strategies for generating evidence, and engagement and dissemination strategies to inform action for urban health. The book brings together what the researchers are learning through ongoing research experience and their efforts to inform action. Chapters also feature brief contributions from other urban health experts and practitioners. The book highlights throughout the public health importance of urban environments and the critical need for diverse interdisciplinary teams and intersectoral collaboration to develop and evaluate approaches to improve health in urban settings. Urban health professionals are often charged with working in ways that take a systems perspective and challenge conventional silos, while also engaging in more traditional public health actions and research strategies. The text is infused with themes emphasizing the importance of place for health, the potential to link evidence with action, and the critical need to attend to health inequities within urban environments. By providing a primer on the range of activities and capacities useful to urban health researchers, the book supports reader in their own professional development and team building by covering a range of relevant skills and voices. The primary audience includes trainees at the undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral levels who are interested in creating actionable evidence and in taking evidence-informed action to improve health within urban settings.

The average patient sees up to 60 hospital employees-everyone from doctors and nurses to orderlies and dietitians-during a hospital stay. But Booz-Allen has found that, through innovative hospital design and technology, this figure can be slashed to as few as 12-a dramatic decrease that can improve direct patient care by as much as 60 percent while cutting personnel costs by 30 percent.

The autumn of 1994 has arrived. At this same time last year, most political pundits and policy wonks proclaimed that the Congress would surely take action to overhaul the American health care system before this year's November elections. But as 1994 draws to a close, it has become apparent that Washington is unlikely to produce comprehensive reform legislation at any time in the near future. However, while our political system has failed to act in any meaningful way, its inability to chart a course for change has not quelled the movement to reshape our nation's health care system. Despite Congressional inertia, substantial health care reform is taking place both in Michigan and throughout the nation. These reforms are characterized by a central theme: rapid movement away from our historic focus on illness, and toward a more rational focus on health. Our commitment to healthy communities stands as a firm testament to our mission of service and our role as the central core of the health care delivery system. This article will address the various components of that paradigm shift, and highlight some of the outstanding efforts of Michigan hospitals as they partner with their communities to reshape the delivery of health care services.
