Transcript of Population Management
Health system leaders tell us they need help with the following three things the
most:
2
ALIGNMENT. Improve experience and loyalty of patients and providers, both employed and affiliated.
COORDINATION. Provide high quality care by ensuring care is coordinated, information is shared, and the patient is visible and at the center across care settings.
EFFICIENCY. Accomplish the above by better leveraging your existing financial and human capital.
