Creation of the Population Health Plan
Creation of the Population Health Plan
This Assignment will focus on the concept of population health management. The focus of population health management is “value-based†care. Population health management utilizes a strategy of improving the delivery of care, containing healthcare costs, and improving the health of the overall community (Mullahy, 2016). Population health management is also connected to reimbursement, as healthcare systems are tasked with prevention of readmissions and working with community leaders to decrease/reduce the number of persons with conditions such as obesity and incidence of smoking (Mullahy, 2016).
