What is Population Health Management?

Population Health Management is a systematic approach to improving health outcomes for entire groups of individuals through coordinated care delivery across the continuum of healthcare services. It uses data analytics to identify population needs, stratify risk, and develop targeted interventions aimed at improving health outcomes while optimizing resource utilization.

Why is Population Health Management important?

• Preventive focus: Shifts emphasis from reactive to proactive healthcare delivery.
• Resource optimization: Targets interventions to those most likely to benefit.
• Health equity: Identifies and addresses disparities across populations.

Key components of Population Health Management

• Data collection and analysis to identify population-level health needs.
• Risk stratification to target interventions to appropriate groups.
• Care coordination across healthcare and community settings.
