In a relatively short amount of time, population health management has become one of the most talked about topics in healthcare. As more healthcare organizations take on risk for populations of patients, they need a strategy to transition away from episodic, single patient care. Many are considering population health as the answer to improve quality, lower costs and succeed with risk.

Some organizations can stall in their journey to population health when they get bogged down by the volume of information they need to synthesize to successfully execute population health management programs. Furthermore, the magnitude of organizational change management required can be considerable for a large health network embarking on this journey. This requirement for population health advisory services along with an investment in the right technologies is one of the primary reasons Caradigm has formed an alliance with a leading healthcare consulting services provider like Beacon Partners. The alliance brings together Caradigm’s population health software and the population health consulting expertise of Beacon Partners.

This Friday, Wendy Vincent, National Practice Director Strategic Advisory Services, Beacon Partners and Ed Barthell, MD, Medical Director, Americas, Caradigm will present a webinar about the essential components of a population health strategy for provider organizations. On the webinar they will cover the core components of a strategy such as:

• How to identify populations to manage
• How to coordinate care through partnerships and technology
• How to engage your organization
• How to optimize your current technology investment
• How to measure success
