Population health

The linked article describes population health as working with the population of a community in creative ways. The 3-part goal is:

  • Improve quality of care
  • Improve health outcomes
  • Lower per-capita costs

It means all sectors involved in health care have to "work together to determine the best outcomes for each patient, taking their daily lives into account, which in turn leads to better outcomes for a population overall while driving down costs and improving individual patient experiences."
