 There has never been a more compelling time to adopt a system of care based on population health management. The COVID-19 pandemic revealed substantial health disparities. The population is aging, and the Medicare insolvency crisis is looming. Now is the time to move away from fee-for-service care and toward an approach that prioritizes quality, outcomes, and affordability for all populations.

In Caring for Our Communities: A Blueprint for Better Outcomes in Population Health, author Mark Angelo 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 he 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 following:
  • The elements of value-based, population health-driven care
  • Why health equity must be the focus of any successful value-based care approach\The structure and function of accountable care organization
  • What the “payvider” model is and how it breaks down the silos between payers and providers
  • How data and analytics are used to assess the health and needs of a population
  • 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.
