Population Health Management (PHM) helps complex healthcare systems gain an in-depth understanding of their local populations so that they can target interventions to improve wellbeing, reduce health inequalities, and identify the most suitable patient cohorts for interventions and innovations.
Effective PHM includes many valuable advanced analytical including Risk Stratification, Impactibility and Data Linkage. The Health Economics Unit has developed an in-depth and effective training programme to take analysts from complete PHM beginners to competent practitioners, providing everything you need to not only apply PHM techniques, but also to effectively advocate these important practices within your system.
Below is an example curriculum for our PHM for Analysts course, including links to videos of the training we previously delivered, in collaboration with the Midlands Decision Support Network:
