Population Health Management is a modern approach to addressing health inequalities by taking a whole population approach to improving the management of risks of a given cohort and complements the adoption of integrated care systems by embracing community and non-health related solutions.
Across the developed world, health and social care systems face a series of fundamental challenges. These include ageing populations, rising expectations, lifestyle-related illness, resource constraints and rapid technological change. Population Health Management, with its focus on understanding the needs of the population in a granular way, is an essential part of the response.
