Population Health
"Population Health" may be defined as 'the health of a population as measured by health status indicators and as influenced by social, economic and physical environments, personal health practices, and individual health capacity and coping skills, human biology, early childhood development and health services.' (Young 2000).
Public Health
The science and art of promoting health, preventing disease and prolonging life through organized efforts of society
For Example, it is the science and practice of protecting and improving the health of a community, through preventive medicine, health education, control of communicable diseases, application of sanitary measures, and monitoring of environmental hazards
Business Intelligence
Business Intelligence Information Technology is the tools and systems that integrate large, disparate data bases and information systems to support organizational decision making and strategic planning. It is how industry determines evidence based practices through data derived customer profiling, customer support, market research, market segmentation, product profitability, statistical analysis, and inventory and distribution analysis to name a few.
Population Health + Public Health = Business Intelligence
Population Health – Aggregate Health Information / Informatics Science / Modeling Cause & Effect
Public Health – Acting on Findings – Informed Policy
Business Intelligence: Enterprise Information Integration – Statistical and Modeling Sciences - to Drive Decision Making
Population Health Domain Function in RHIOs
Population Health + Public Health = Business Intelligence
Business Intelligence – or Data Analysis & Aggregation on the Population Domain – to Develop Evidence Based Practices
Informs Entire Medical Informatics Spectrum (Cellular, Imaging, Clinical)
Essential to Achieve ROI, Reduce Medical Errors, Improve Efficiency, Quality, Optimize business processes for all stakeholders
