Earlier this week, we stumbled across an article suggesting that perhaps population health does not dive deep enough to be meaningful on an individual level. This sparked an introspective look into the role population health management plays, and how, in fact, the principles that guide this approach are firmly centered around the individual patient. Population health management has evolved over the years to continuously create new innovations and develop measures to improve the health status of individuals across various populations. There are many definitions, but to me, population health management is about the collective actions of a group of providers to care for a defined population with the goal of helping each member of that population achieve the best health possible. The goal is about individuals, not populations.
Providers working within a system of population health management move the needle one patient at a time. The result is the collective improvement of health and lower cost across the entire population.
Healthcare providers working with this approach to care know that digging in and taking the time allows you to really get to know your patient. To engage them. To empower them to take greater responsibility for their own health. Learn about the achievements our patients have had this past year through a population health management approach in our recent blog post.
