Population Health Management

Complete Definition

Population Health Management is an approach that uses data analytics to identify, stratify, and manage the health outcomes of a defined patient or member population. Key components include risk stratification (identifying high-risk individuals), care gap identification (HEDIS measures, preventive services), predictive analytics (forecasting health events), and targeted interventions (proactive outreach, care management). Health Cloud's Population Health capabilities include risk scoring, care gap dashboards, cohort segmentation, and automated outreach campaigns. This approach is essential for value-based care models, ACOs, and health plan quality improvement.
