Population Health

As healthcare moves from volume to value, payment models and delivery systems have to change their focus from sick individuals to a population orientation focused on reducing medical risk, prevention, and patient engagement. This book covers not only the rationale for this transition, but also outlines successful practice models that are built to thrive in these new market dynamics. Besides the philosophical and the cultural aspects of these new models, it details the implementation and strategic initiatives required to succeed in today's value- and population-oriented healthcare environment.
