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

Hospitals fail to use readmission best practices
Despite the national focus on readmissions rates, most hospitals infrequently utilize recommended strategies to reduce readmission risk for patients with heart failure or acute myocardial infarction, according to this new Commonwealth Fund-supported study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
