Population health informatics is the application of technology to improve population health outcomes. These technology applications may include electronic health record systems, personal health records, telehealth, mobile health apps and other third-party systems. To have population health management, you must consider the patterns of health determinants as well as interventions that link health determinants to health outcomes. In this course, you get an introduction to the basics of population health, how systems are being used to support population health management, and what health care organizations are doing—and need to do—to affect population health in the future. You also cover the role of data, information exchange and analytics, as well as areas such as population health surveillance and data visualization.
