Overview of Population Health in a Changing Health ...
Overview of Population Health in a Changing Healthcare Landscape
Description
Originally titled, “Overview of Population Health in a Changing Health System,” this course was developed for the Curriculum in 2019. In accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM), courses offered as enduring material must be reviewed and re-released every three years to ensure the content is up-to-date and accurate. To meet the standards set forth by ACCME, this course has been revised in 2023 to incorporate up-to-date evidence-based information, references, data, graphics, language and case studies.
This revitalized course will focus on applying a health equity lens to population health initiatives and introduces the concepts of health disparities and health-related social needs (HRSN). The updated course will examine different health equity frameworks and understand how to move health improvement planning from the traditional medical model to inclusion of HRSN to aid in accurate measurement capture, program planning and policy development. Case studies will look at how to address health equity at the population level from the health system, payor, and policy perspectives.
ACPM defines health systems transformation as: “systems-based approaches to improving population, community, and individual health by incorporating and addressing the behavioral and social determinants of health and increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare”.
