Population Health Management

Population Health Management (PHM) is a strategic approach used by healthcare organizations to improve the health outcomes of a specific group of individuals, often defined by geographic areas or patient characteristics. It involves collecting and analyzing health data to identify trends, risks, and needs within the population. By implementing targeted interventions, preventive care, and health education, PHM aims to enhance the overall health of the community, reduce healthcare costs, and minimize the prevalence of diseases. Essentially, it ensures that healthcare resources are used effectively to promote better health for everyone in that population.
