Population health management (PHM) is the holistic process of improving health outcomes of groups of individuals through the support of appropriate financial and care models. Radiologists' presence at the intersection of many aspects of health care, including screening, diagnostic imaging, and image-guided therapies, provides the opportunity for increased radiologist engagement in PHM. Furthermore, innovations in artificial intelligence and imaging informatics will serve as critical tools to improve value in health care through evidence-based and equitable approaches. Given radiologists' limited engagement in PHM to date, it is imperative to define the PHM priorities of the specialty so that radiologists' full value in improving population health is realized. The purpose of this expert review is to explore programs and future directions for radiologists in PHM.
人群健康管理(PHM)是通过支持适当的财务和护理模式来改善群体个体健康结果的整体过程。放射科医生在医疗保健的许多方面(包括筛查、诊断成像和图像引导治疗)的交叉点上的存在为放射科医生更多地参与 PHM 提供了机会。此外,人工智能和成像信息学的创新将成为通过基于证据和公平的方法提高医疗保健价值的关键工具。鉴于放射科医生迄今为止在 PHM 中的参与有限,因此必须确定该专业的 PHM 优先事项,以便充分发挥放射科医生在改善人口健康方面的价值。本次专家审查的目的是探讨放射科医生在 PHM 中的项目和未来方向。
