During the second of two population health webinars, researchers from America’s Essential Hospitals, UHC and George Mason University presented findings from a focus group interview with key contributors in the field. This group included policy experts, representatives from community-based organizations, and various other stakeholders. After hearing the focus group results, participants discussed the complex nature of population health, the current state and future direction of these programs, and ways in which population health activities can be supported and advanced. The webinar focused on the distinctive patient populations that essential hospitals and academic medical centers serve, and culminated with compelling findings and explicit strategies for future action.
