Developing a successful population health initiative requires careful consideration of the business, clinical, and technological aspects of healthcare. All three of these interrelated components are critical to effectively implementing the substantial changes to culture, processes, and workflow that population health management often entails. Fortunately, the work of organizations that have already embarked on the transformative journey towards better population health management can serve as a model for those just getting underway. Participants on this webinar will learn from industry leaders as they share their experience with outlining the business case for population health, implementing population health into clinical practice, and building the technical infrastructure to support population health management.

Population health management encompasses a range of activities aimed at improving outcomes and reducing costs for different groups of patients. To better understand how organizations are approaching population health management, eHealth Initiative surveyed healthcare providers in summer of 2015. The survey questions addressed how health information technology supports patient engagement, analytics, and care management.

A massive amount of data and a robust information technology infrastructure will be required to not only develop the online marketplaces, but also actively maintain them moving forward. This paper provides a brief background on insurance exchanges, and explores how big data can be leveraged to support new populations, adapt to new market dynamics, improve quality and comply with new regulations.

This paper explores how health information technology (health IT) and data analytics are lynchpins to PHM that can improve the quality, coordination, and efficiency of care while reducing cost and waste at both the individual patient and population levels.

Population health management encompasses a range of activities aimed at improving outcomes and reducing costs for different groups of patients. To better understand how organizations are approaching population health management, eHealth Initiative surveyed provider organizations in 2016. The survey questions addressed how health information technology supports patient engagement, analytics, and care management. 

Funded by the California Healthcare Foundation, this eHI report examines how eHealth tools can support chronic disease management among socially disadvantaged populations. Four domains of technology are reviewed – telehealth, mobile health, patient web portals, and social media – in the context of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
