Abstract:
Health in All Policies (HiAP) is an emerging approach to public policymaking, grounded in recognition that the most important determinants of health are outside the reach of the formal health care system. This Issue Focus describes the HiAP concept, its history and evolution, and explores how this approach is poised to influence priorities and programs in the field of health philanthropy. ORIGINS OF THE HiAP APPROACH. The term "Health in All Policies" was originally coined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a label for a set of ideas and proposed actions gaining traction in public health and health policy discussions. The term has come into usage since about 2006, taking root first in European policy discussions and more recently in the United States.
