Population Health Measures Can Address 21st Century Health
Problems(but not without data and HIT)
● Growing chronic diseases● Emerging & reemerging infectious disease● Unaddressed injury epidemics● Public health emergency preparedness● Patient safety● Addressing the social determinates of
health● Eliminating health disparities● Community based care coordination● Health education & literacy

Growing capacity to link & analyze large data sets
Disruptive & fast technology ◦ Social media, E-Communication,
hand held wireless devicesNeed to document ROI for
health interventions◦ Cost, quality & value
Enhanced use of data to drive public policy to improve health
Some Drivers of Population Health System Change

Example: Enhanced use of data to drive public policy to improve health
Motorcycle helmet law in MarylandData used to demonstrate
- Motorcyclists greater rate of no health insurance- Inpatient stay caused hospital bad debt- Inpatient costs resulted in Medicaid eligibility- Post hospital costs for rehab also costly- Death rates with and without helmets
Data sets used: hospital discharges, Medicaid claims, Medical Examiner’s – but not linked
Bill successful in 2nd year (but with a twist)

Paying For Population E-Health Is Challenging
Not a line item in a budgetGrant based - Not fee basedObsolescence is a problemQuestions about ROI for
preventionResults become key & data
is the driver Population health IT
systems need planned investments ◦ Data linkages to HIT◦ Specialized systems

Recommendations For The Future
Advocacy at federal and local levels to make strategic investments in population based HIT & data systems
APHA and PHDSC work to bring together stakeholders
Require appropriate linkages of public health & health care & data systems
Demand accountability for population based outcomes from all
