Engaging with other PHA members to address long-standing health inequities that harm the most vulnerable populations is more urgent than ever,” says Tricia Barrett, Executive Director of Quality & Population Health Strategy at Bayer.
PHA members come from across the health care ecosystem comprising such organizations as health plans and systems, and companies from academia, biopharma and employer solutions as well as within the health-tech sector. For more than 20 years of advocacy, coalition- and network-building, education, and quality improvement and research, PHA has led a network of members and partners in raising the importance and value of the PHA Population Health Management Framework and resultant models as a key component of health care transformation.
“We believe a health care system that systematically — and through ongoing innovation — applies the principles of population health improvement will achieve measurably better health outcomes for all individuals and populations,” explains PHA’s Chairman Emeritus Rose Maljanian, who also serves as Chairman and CEO of HealthCAWS.
“We are pleased with Bayer’s outstanding commitment and the leadership of Quality and Population Health Strategy head, Tricia Barrett,” Maljanian continues. “In addition to advancing population health improvement broadly, we look forward to working with Bayer on a focused initiative to address the timely and growing need in Chronic Kidney Disease for the betterment of consumers served by PHA members and constituents.”
