Population
Health Management holds significant potential to help redefine care
management and address the increasing fragmentation in health care. As
the field of population health grows, physicians continue to question
how to use this approach to improve the care of the individuals in their
practice. It is crucial at this juncture that stakeholders in population
health demonstrate the value of this approach to physicians on the front
lines of medicine. Many practicing physicians have questions or
confusion regarding how to apply population health data and
interventions. Ascension Health's SmartHealth is the ERISA based health insurance provider for 95,000 Ascension employees. SmartHealth covers around 210,000 employees in 70 different hospitals owned by Ascension across the United States. Ascension Health's SmartHealth case study regarding the health status and outcomes of the employee population and associated interventions provide an illustration of the population health process and how it applies to physician practices. The care study reviews an analysis of a population's health, the resulting interventions, measurements tracked, variety of contract models that might be associated with a practice setting, and the applicability of these interventions to enhancing the success of the physician achieving the contractual goals. Please join the Ascension Health's Doctor Michael Kobernick on Tuesday, June 16th, 2015 at 2PM Eastern as he discusses applying the principles of population health to improve the health of a large employee population and illustrate the value of a population health driven approach to practicing physicians; during the Healthcare Web Summit event: Population Health in a Large Employer Setting - Illustrating Value of Approach to Practicing Physicians.
