Monthly Membership Perk:
Moving Toward Population Health Management
Substantial health disparities have been uncovered in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the looming Medicare insolvency crisis due to the aging population. In light of this dilemma, experts argue there has never been a more compelling time to adopt a system of care based on population health management. In Chapter 3 of his book, Caring for Our Communities: A Blueprint for Better Outcomes in Population Health, author Mark Angelo, MD, shares the expertise he has acquired as a senior administrator and provides tactical guidance for developing effective population health programs. He answers many questions about value-based care models, uses real-world examples and shares perspective from industry experts to clarify the underlying concepts of value-based initiatives.
Caring for Our Communities covers several topics of value-based, population health-driven care, including the “payvider” model and how it breaks down the silos between payers and providers.
This book provides a guide for creating an equitable, outcomes-focused system, using the most efficient resources to maximize health outcomes. Chapter 3, titled “Community Wellness: The Promise of More Equitable Outcomes,” is free of charge to ACHE members. Among topics the chapter explores are the obstacles to health, social drivers of health, the importance of addressing social factors impacting health and the continuum of care.
We hope you enjoy this complimentary Monthly Membership Perk, and we thank you for being a part of the ACHE community.
