Population health is finally catching up with itself. Before it was known as disease management, it began at New England Medical Center in Boston, MA (now Tufts Medical Center), more than 30 years ago.
Take-away ideas: (1) population health management is about segmenting and targeting specific patient populations for interventions that are evidence based; (2) there are currently many examples of population health management; (3) population health management will not work without social workers and nurse navigators/care coordinators working side by side.
All health care settings.
人群健康终于开始自我完善。30多年前，在马萨诸塞州波士顿的新英格兰医疗中心（现为塔夫茨医疗中心），它就已起步，当时还不叫疾病管理。
要点如下：（1）人群健康管理是针对特定患者群体进行细分并实施循证干预措施；（2）目前有许多人群健康管理的实例；（3）没有社会工作者和护士导航员/护理协调员并肩协作，人群健康管理就无法发挥作用。
所有医疗保健场所。
