Population Health is a relatively new approach to health care delivery that aims to improve the health of entire populations while reducing the per capita cost of care delivery. Recent research findings have challenged predominant models of population health, particularly the assumptions made regarding risk stratification and the effectiveness of intensive case management interventions for so-called “super-utilizers.” In some cases, risk stratification and case management may have contributed to unintended consequences including patient harm and disparities in care delivery. This presentation will review these findings and discuss new approaches to population health that build on the lessons learned of earlier efforts. Specifically, this presentation will review more methodologically sophisticated approaches to risk stratification, the intersection with the social determinants of health, novel interventions for high-risk patients, and a new framework for managing rising-risk patients.
