Population & Public Health
Despite a variety of definitions, population health is about managing the health of a defined population by providing appropriate iterative interventions in the care continuum. Population health is not a new concept; however, it has attracted renewed interest across the health care industry as a way to deliver better care at lower costs. Health care leaders view population health as critical to future success and an opportunity to improve control of clinical costs, quality and outcomes. Having pragmatic and innovative approaches to achieving value-based performance is essential in maximizing resources.
