Over the last 10 years of advocacy, coalition building, research, and education, the Population Health Alliance has led a network of members and partners in raising the profile of population health improvement models as key components of health care transformation. Through its members, the Population Health Alliance works to promote coordinated health care interventions and communication for populations with conditions in which patient self-care efforts are significant Benefits The Population Health Alliance is the industry’s premier Association for advancing Population Health. Population Health Alliance members gain the opportunity and support to advance brand awareness, achieve common goals, maximize communications and information and respond to industry needs and issues with the strength of a broad-based coalition
The Value of Membership
Population Health Alliance members gain the opportunity and support to advance brand awareness, achieve common goals, maximize communications and information and respond to industry needs and issues with the strength of a broad-based coalition. Among the most important and tangible benefits of Population Health Alliance membership is the ability to communicate and work directly with other industry leaders through committee and work group activities and annual meetings.
Your Seat at the Table
As reimbursement shifts from fee for service to outcomes and value-based models, as technology continues to put health management tools and information in the hands of consumers, and as big data analytics enables deeper understanding of cost drivers and consumer preferences, the Population Health field is exploding with growth and innovation. The opportunities for organizations in the Population Health field have never been greater. And, with opportunity often come challenges. Will federal and state regulators and legislators create an environment that enables or inhibits Population Health? Will rapid advances in mobile health platforms disrupt or enhance current Population Health efforts? Will organizations new to the Population Health field need to repeat the mistakes of the past or can they take advantage of the two decades of learnings from established wellness, health promotion, and disease management providers? PHA can provide you with a seat at the table to develop and your business and business model, speed up product development cycles, and further your staff’s development. Join our broad-based membership to shape the Population Health field, develop and disseminate best practices, and network with buyers and sellers of Population Health services and tools to build your business.
