Population Health Management (PHM)
Population Health Management uses Big Data to improve the health outcomes of an entire group or community. By aggregating data across a region, public health officials can identify "hotspots" of disease or disparities in care access.
PHM focuses heavily on Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)—factors like zip code, income level, and food security. When these non-clinical factors are integrated into Big Data models, providers can offer holistic care, such as prescribing "food as medicine" or providing transportation to appointments, which significantly impacts long-term health outcomes.
