Population Health Models
By Staff Reporters
Most readers are aware that colleague David B. Nash MD, MBA is the population health guru for the ME-P. In fact, he is an ME-P “thought-leader.” And, to use a modern colloquialism, he was into population health before PH was cool.

Preventing Avoidable Hospitalizations
And so, as hospitals and health systems accelerate towards population health models, there is an increasing focus for physicians and health systems to work together to prevent avoidable hospitalizations.
The Infographic
This infographic shows that an average 300-bed hospital is at risk of losing $9.5 million in annual contribution when inpatient admissions for 11 potentially avoidable conditions are completely reduced. These 11 conditions, identified by AHRQ, represent diagnoses for which coordinated outpatient care and early intervention can potentially prevent the need for hospitalization.

Assessment
