Population Health Management (PHM)

Population Health Management (PHM) is the aggregation of patient data across multiple health IT resources, the analysis of that data into a single and actionable patient record, and the actions through which care providers can improve both clinical and financial outcomes.

Why should you worry?

Traditionally, healthcare has been rather disconnected across settings and providers, from both IT and process perspectives. This makes it challenging to achieve coordinated care, often to the detriment of the patient.

A Population Health approach is patient centered and goes back to the goals of what providers and payers all want to do well. That is why PHM is getting some serious attention.

ACA (Accountable Care Act) – The major driver of population health, with the payment structure moving to value based care.

Improvement based rewards in a population’s health, instead of rewards for using resources on a per person basis.

CMS aims to link almost 50 percent of Medicare fee-for-service to alternative payment models by 2018.

ACOs if not analyzing data correctly, will find routing patients to care givers challenging.

Health
Providers
- Identify care gaps against pre-existing quality programs like PQRS, eCQM.
- Improve performance in risk-based payer contracts/value based care incentives
- Get better composite score in QPP and in turn payments from CMS.
- Identify high risk patients and provision preventive care mechanisms.
EHR
