The Public Health Institute (PHI) defines Health in All Policies (HiAP) as a collaborative approach to improving the health of all people by incorporating health considerations into decision-making across sectors and policy areas. There are five key elements at the core of any HiAP approach, according to PHI: promoting health and equity; supporting intersectoral collaboration; creating co-benefits for multiple partners; engaging stakeholders; and creating structural or process change.
