- Involves participants in areas of prevention, health care delivery, medical intervention, public health, and policy for a population.
- Less connected to government health department
- Includes community engagements and resources
- “To manage the health of a specific population using a network of financially incented providers and community partners”
population health
325
- A focus on sick care over prevention and wellness. Clinical training has traditionally focused acute illness and chronic disease care over prevention and wellness.
- The fee-for-service reimbursement system has been more heavily based on acute care and procedures.
- Prevention, chronic disease management, nutrition, and behavioral health have been traditionally undervalued and reimbursed at rates lass than acute care.
- There is minimal reimbursement for non-clinic follow-up such as telephone calls used more for surveillance in chronic disease prevention and management.
- Preventative services for patients are generally more difficult to receive than acute care.
- In addition, the public health sector with its focus on prevention and health promotion has been relatively underfunded as compared to acute care reimbursement.
limitations in US healthcare that need to be overcome to achieve improved population health
326
- Health care delivery is often organized and prioritized around health care delivery than the patient.
- Patients typically must initiate contact and access many different points in order to receive care.
- Lack of coordination, integration and communication between the different points of a patient’s care contribute to fragmentation of the health care system.
- In addition, connections between medical care, public health, and community resources for patients to support their health and health care have been limited.
Siloed and fragmented efforts for health and health care
327
- Communication and sharing information between the various parties involved in the care of the patient is often limited.
- Barriers to greater communication and coordination of care include limitations in electronic health records limitation in health information exchange.
Inadequate assimilation and use of data
328
- Lack of defined teams for patient care, lack of tools, and time constraints on an individual physician impact the ability for greater engagement of patients in their health care.
- Patient-centeredness and shared decision making have not typically been robust areas of clinical training.
- Patient education resources and tools are often inadequate and most care delivery via an in-clinic setting may not be feasible for patients to take time away from work, school, family or other obligations.
Suboptimal patient engagement
329
- Where people live, their socioeconomic status, their race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, and disability status have historically impacted health and outcomes.
- Comprehensive solutions that address the impact of SDOH and health outcomes have been difficult to develop.
- Root causes are often complex, and policy, funding, and support targeted at these areas have not been robust.
Inequality and inequity in health and health outcomes
330
- A fee-for-service reimbursement system often reinforces fragmented efforts as individual physicians are paid separately for their part of the patient’s care.
- In many systems, physicians are not held accountable and often not reimbursed for the quality of care provided for care coordination in a traditional fee-for-service system.
- Incentives are misaligned in health care as care and procedures are reimbursed at a greater rate then preventative care.
Reimbursement systems, incentives, education, and culture that support the status quo
331
the US still lags in key outcomes measures, including
life expectancy and prevalence of chronic disease.
332

337
have the capability to share information with other health care providers and medical professionals. Patient’s information (diagnosis, prescribed medication) and data values (labs) allow for data to be analyzed on how well clinicians are managing both acute and chronic disease processes for individual patients and populations of patients.
Electronic Health Records (EHRs)
338
not all EHR systems communicate with each other thereby limiting relaying data or receiving data outside the population being served by the EHR.
Often HER may not provide data on social determinants of health and therefore this limited opportunity to obtain the whole picture of the patient population’s health status beyond the medical care.
limitations of EHRs
339
1. Integrate data from multiple health sources across the continuum of care (EHRs) and other sources such as mobile applications, wearable technology and other data sources with which a patient may interact.
2. Develop then integrate clinical risk algorithms into the care of the patients and populations to ensure that those who need treatment receive and while others who do not treatment are not overtreated.
3. Deliver the analysis of the data to those who must act on it such ad health care administrators who allocate resources based on the populations need. Clinicians who receive the data to improve clinical care of the patient populations, and individuals who can advocate for their own health care needs.
