HTCA 545 - Population Health Management (3)


Population health, in contrast to individual health, focuses on the community as the unit of analysis. As such, population management seeks to quantify and oversee the administration of health improvement and disease prevention initiatives within population. This course was designed to provide an overview of population health management by reviewing applications of population health management strategies, care coordination, patient engagement, and the use of technology to support these efforts. As population health is not limited to the clinical encounter, theories applied in this course are not confined to one particular discipline; the successful study and practice of population health management requires a holistic and multidisciplinary approach and encompasses many perspectives. Ultimately, this course provides a comprehensive foundation in the essentials of population health management including models of care, socioeconomic determinants of disease, data analytics, health finance and economics, and basics of healthcare quality and safety.
