Healthcare Management

Population health management

---

Continued pressures to reduce health care costs, improve quality and implement value-based payment programs are moving providers and payers toward closer alignment. Population health management (PHM) is a key collaborative strategy for both groups to enhance care delivery, control the cost of care and work together to better the health of their communities.
The concept of PHM is not a new one. Health plans have been engaging in PHM activities for many years — stratifying group populations by risk, identifying high-cost conditions and enlisting members for participation in disease management programs. However, now payers are collaborating with providers and integrating PHM principles and technologies in an unprecedented approach to curtailing costs and delivering value. This Health Industry Post looks at the concept and drivers of PHM, as well as the capabilities needed to support and advance it in a new age of accountable care.
