Caring for Our Communities: A Blueprint for Better Outcomes in Population Health

Caring for our communities

In this new book from HAP, Mark Angelo, MD, shares the expertise he has acquired as a senior administrator of a large accountable care organization and a leader in population health and palliative medicine. He provides tactical guidance for developing effective population health programs and answers many questions about value-based care models. He also uses real-world examples and industry experts' views to clarify the concepts underlying value-based initiatives.

Topics covered include the elements of value-based, population health-driven care; why health equity must be the focus of any successful value-based care approach; how data and analytics are used to assess the health and needs of a population; and how to improve coordination and management along the continuum of care.

Caring for Our Communities provides a road map for creating an equitable, outcomes-focused system, using the right resources to nurture the health of our communities.

Leading with Your Upper Brain: How to Create the Behaviors That Unlock Performance Excellence

Leading with Your Upper Brain

Research shows that an individual leader’s behavior is the most important predictor of a team’s success. Leading with Your Upper Brain helps you understand why. More important, it provides an innovative framework that helps you shift your behavior in ways that help employees tap into their upper-brain resources for growth, development and higher cognitive function that drive higher levels of performance.

The authors use cutting-edge neuroscience research to illustrate how a positive connection with their leader builds trust, instills hope and otherwise affects team members’ brain function in a way that leads to overall team success. They share a modern, science-based approach to performance management and leadership development that fits any organization type or size. Each chapter offers key takeaways, tips, resources and thought-provoking questions that will help you put the principles into practice.

A few insights you’ll learn in Leading with Your Upper Brain include how neuroscience allows us to measure soft concepts like trust, engagement and happiness in real time; how upper-brain and lower-brain thinking affect performance outcomes; which leadership behaviors encourage higher-brain thinking and boost team engagement; and how to help team members discover meaning, value and purpose in their work.
