What does "Population Health Management" enable organizations to do in Epic?

Population Health Management in Epic enables organizations to analyze patient data for improved health outcomes. This approach involves aggregating and examining comprehensive data sets from various sources, which includes clinical, financial, and social determinants of health. By doing so, healthcare organizations can identify trends, monitor population health metrics, and implement targeted interventions aimed at enhancing the overall health of specific populations or communities.

The focus is on understanding and addressing the health needs of groups of patients rather than just individual patients. This might involve identifying high-risk patients, assessing the effectiveness of programs, and ensuring that care strategies are data-driven. Furthermore, this analysis can lead to better care coordination, reduced healthcare costs, and improved patient satisfaction as care providers work together to improve health outcomes based on data insights.
