Population Health
Population health management focuses attention on the needs of your entire patient population. Population management tasks vary depending on the type of healthcare setting and may include ensuring that each patient has an assigned physician or care team (empanelment), identifying patients that need extra help (risk stratification), implementing patient care plans, and using data to guide proactive care management.
