CURRENT INITIATIVES
The Population Health Alliance has a 20 year tradition of contribution to best practices and outcome guidelines.
Over the past several years PHA Quality and Research Committee has launched efforts on four major priorities that are re-evaluated and expanded annually.
■ Impact of population health on value-based care, revenue and cost, member and provider
■ Advancing strategies to drive consumer engagement to optimize individual/ population health
■ Taking action on Social Determinants of Health as levers to provide value to consumers and organizations
■ Driving Health Equity Strategies Across Populations
In addition, PHA convenes timely topical members only workgroups that bring together expertise and more opportunities for leadership, networking and contribution to the industry and health of individuals at large.
Current PHA Workgroups include:
- Integrated Behavioral Health
- Advancing Primary Care
- Medicaid Continuity and Quality

As a member you or others in your organization, may join as many of the workgroups as you like.
