Population Health Management
Population health management can be defined as the daily practice of improving health and health care for defined populations. Population health management requires new capabilities for organizations across the spectrum of clinical care. Organizations that continually improve these capabilities will be positioned to engage in new models of health care delivery and financing that reward accountability for population health. As outlined below, Community Health Solutions has identified seven core capabilities that are essential for population health management. Much of our work is focused on helping organizations strengthen these capabilities.

Integrated Oral Health
The 2011 Institute of Medicine (IOM) reports, Advancing Oral Health in America and Improving
Access for Oral Health for the Vulnerable and Underserved, highlighted the importance of viewing oral health as inseparable from total health. The IOM and other leading health organizations have also called for the integration of oral health and primary care to enhance access, quality, and outcomes for individuals and populations. The resources below provide ideas, insights, and promising practices for integrating oral health and primary care practice. The resources can be adapted to support improvements in community care models.

Effective care transitions are important for optimizing patient health and for avoiding unnecessary utilization of hospital services and related services. As CMS has noted:
Nearly one in five Medicare patients discharged from a hospital—approximately 2.6 million seniors—is readmitted within 30 days, at a cost of over $26 billion every year. Hospitals have traditionally served as the focal point of efforts to reduce readmissions by focusing on those components that they are directly responsible for, including the quality of care during the hospitalization and […]

Chronic Care Resources
Chronic care models are designed to optimize the care of patients who have or are at significant risk for chronic conditions. The prevalence of chronic conditions has been increasing due to the aging of the population and rising levels of lifestyle-related risk factors. Projecting these trends forward, the growing burden of disease and costs could be crippling. Consequently, chronic care improvement is a high priority for population health management. The resources below provide ideas, insights, and promising practices for improving chronic care. These resources can be used to support collaborative learning and improvement in community models of care.
