Population Health Informatics
The U.S. healthcare system is in the midst of a period of unprecedented change. Population health management (PHM) focuses on the improved management of groups of patients through the assessment of various levels of risk and the development of care management frameworks to improve outcomes and reduce expenses. This course will examine the impacts of PHM on healthcare IT systems including: engaging primary care physicians in the hospital workflow; data interoperability both inside and outside of the enterprise; patient engagement; analytics for risk assessment and operational efficiencies; EHR workflows for PHM; and tools for long term care management.
