Chapter 14 illustrates the value of addressing the causes of poor health at their roots by presenting the perspectives of an industrial and operations engineer, an economist, and an attorney. Combining business principles of return on investment (ROI) with outcome data from social interventions, they argue that addressing social determinants yields savings that may accrue to health, social, and other systems. George Miller suggests that approaching social interventions as “nonclinical prevention” sharpens understanding of investments and outcomes. Early childhood interventions can improve outcomes and save money, according to Lynn A. Karoly. Her extensive studies of interventions point to key short- and long-term health, social, and economic impacts. Cindy Mann presents the case for Medicaid as a player in addressing social needs. She describes evolving developments in North Carolina as a case example.
