Population Health Management
Population Health Management (PHM) is a systematic approach to improving the health outcomes of a specific group of individuals. It involves analyzing data related to health trends, risks, and outcomes within a population to identify areas for improvement. By focusing on preventive care and effective management of chronic diseases, PHM aims to enhance the overall health of communities while reducing healthcare costs.
PHM utilizes various strategies, including data analytics, care coordination, and patient engagement, to address the needs of diverse populations. Healthcare providers, insurers, and public health organizations collaborate to implement targeted interventions, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently and effectively to improve health equity and access to care.
