    Study Notes

    Introduction & Defining Population Health

    • Population Health is the health outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribution of those outcomes within the group.
    • It considers how healthcare systems interact with individuals and emphasizes a continuum-of-care approach.
    • It differentiates itself from public, community, or global health by focusing on group health outcomes, integrating health service delivery, prevention, and promotion strategies.

    What are the primary foci of Population Health?

    • Comprehensive health service delivery across the continuum of care.
    • Health promotion and prevention strategies.
    • Addressing health outcomes as derivatives of healthcare interactions.
    • Focusing on social determinants of health (SDOH) and factors like environmental, socioeconomic, and behavioral influences.

    What is the business case for Population Health?

    • 80% of health outcomes are due to social determinants of health (SDOH).
    • 88% of money is spent on medical services.

    What is Population Health Management?

    • Concerned with appropriate cost, the "who, where and when" of health services, and population health outcomes.
    • Provides operational expertise to ensure desired outcomes for specific populations.
    • Involves gathering and analyzing population data to improve health outcomes and manage costs.

    How has Population Health evolved as a concept over time?

    • The ACA of 2010 was a catalyst for change moving toward population health.

    Social Determinants of Health Pt. 1

    • Social determinants of health are conditions related to where people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the forces shaping daily life.
    • The Camden Coalition highlighted that a small percentage of individuals can significantly drive healthcare costs due to unmet social and economic needs.
    • Social conditions like socioeconomic status impact health by determining access to resources, and shape the ability to utilize health advancements.
    • Social conditions also involve people's relationships to others in social and economic structures. People with more resources have a better power and ability to utilize health resources effectively.
    • Policymakers must consider social conditions and consider broader societal factors when evaluating disease.

    Social Determinants of Health Pt. 2

    • Challenges to value-based care models include insufficient technology for data sharing, inadequate financial resources, difficulties in coordinating care, and concerns about fairness and redistribution of resources.
    • Key aspects of a VBC approach include aligning incentives with outcomes, patient-centered care, cost-effectiveness, and robust data systems.

    Understanding Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs)

    • A CHNA is completed every 3 years by non-profit hospitals to maintain tax-exempt status under the Community Benefit Standard.
    • CHNAs use data to evaluate conditions, behaviors, and mortality/morbidity rates as well as involve stakeholders in the community.
    • CHNAs are a cycle of assessment, strategy development, strategy implementation, and evaluation. A CHIP is created based on findings from a CHNA to implement strategies to improve health.

    Population Health Decision Making

    • Decision-making involves identifying populations at risk, stratifying them by risk level, designing interventions aligned with risk levels, implementing risk-based care plans, and evaluating outcomes.
    • Risk is the probability of an event occurring, while risk segmentation divides patients by categories based on lifestyle and clinical characteristics, and risk stratification is focused on identifying those with highest risk level to better manage care.

    Pop Health Models, Measuring Outcomes, & Co-creation for the Future

    • Emerging models include patient-centric, chronic care, telehealth, wearable devices, and post-acute care innovations.
    • The new era of healthcare calls for patient-centricity, coordinated care, strategic focus on chronic conditions, technology integration, and health behavior engagement.
    • Chronic diseases significantly impact populations, including prevalence, cost, and outcomes such as hospital readmissions.
    • Methods to intervene include care coordination, self-management education, care transitions, and lifestyle changes.

    Population Health Hot Topics

    • Interventions decreasing the downstream impacts of global disease burdens (ex: musculoskeletal trauma) should focus on prevention, healthcare infrastructure, post-injury care, and policy.
    • Musculoskeletal trauma has negative societal impacts such as economic loss, increased healthcare costs, and reduced community cohesion.
    • Mental health care has transitioned to community models, emphasizing holistic models and addressing co-occurring conditions.
