What is population health?
In its most fundamental sense, population health seeks to improve or manage the health of a specific population. It is a systematic, holistic approach that aims to prevent disease by keeping people healthy and improving the quality of care.

In fact, according to my colleague David B. Nash MD MBA, Founding Dean and Endowed Chair at the Jefferson College of Population Health, population health programs and interventions work to:
- Connect prevention, wellness and behavioral health with traditional health care delivery
- Focus on improving the quality and safety of care, improving access to healthcare services and helping to prevent/manage chronic diseases in the service of a specific population
- Advance policies and solutions to address socio-economic and cultural factors (social determinants of health) that have an impact on health outcomes
- Leverage technology and information systems to design social and community interventions and new models of health care delivery that facilitate care coordination and access
