As part of my job, I have been cultivating a growing curiosity around population health as a feature of healthcare systems writ large. This has taken me down some fantastic rabbit holes. One of which has been the rise of this topic in the United States.
I am learning that the conversation down south is largely focused on the “Social Determinants of Health”, and that “Population Health” is a more esoteric term describing largely the same principle of equity of opportunities for health.
To tease out how “Population health” is used in the healthcare system world, I recently wrote an article for Patchwise Labs on the topic here.
For more on the American perspective around population health in healthcare, check out the Patchwise Labs Medium page here. They always have the most up-to-date intelligence on this field and are not afraid to get deep in the weeds of the topic.
Enjoy!
