### Precion Public Health Research
Improving public health outcomes will require comprehensive population health management (PHM) that considers marked disparities among minority groups, seeks to address upstream factors related to socio-economic status, and includes updates to institutional policies, particularly at the state level. PHM efforts will need to be driven by location-based analyses that incorporate social stratification and community infrastructure relevant to public health. While studies have identified that neighborhood level disadvantage is a significant predictor of clinical outcomes the full extent of ecological health impacts needs further investigation. Interoperability issues related to health care information technology present significant hurdles for researching the effect of social determinants on public health outcomes.<br>
