A great new book that addresses the spectrum of key issues related to helping define and understand population health. If you are a health IT executive or practitioner in the healthcare this book provides tremendous insights along with questions at the end of each chapter that can support work in the field with clients and with students in the classroom.This book is excellent for graduate student courses, public health, and healthcare professionals. The authors are from across the spectrum of academia and industry practitioners which enriches the book giving it real world application. Chapter 13 covered in detail, the big data topic, and provided powerful insights on ways to address volume, variety, and velocity of one of the fastest growing areas- healthcare IT data needs. The final chapter in the book does an excellent job of highlighting critical case studies on the topics of emergency department over utilization, the challenges of asthma for urban youth, emergency department readmissions, and introduces an innovative program called Health Promotion and Prevention Initiative (HAPPI) which involves launching integrated efforts of health record banks and population health organizations to improve community population health.Well worth the money and should be on the desk of many healthcare and public health professionals throughout the industry.
Population Health. Management, Policy and Technology is a tremendous piece of work that can benefit those of us who've been in the rapidly changing and, as we know, complex world of healthcare to students in the classroom as well as policy makers,Chapter 1 provided insights on the nebulous definition of population health along with the role for leaders and legal perspectives on the evolving field of work. Of particular interest were Chapters 10 which addressed challenges with state HIE implementations and complexity science issues along with Chapter 12 that introduced in detail the topics of health record banking (HRBs) and population health organizations (PHOs).The book included several meaningful case studies throughout each chapter highlighting trends and critical issues impacting many communities.A book well worth the money. I've applied much of what I gained to how I face the big data challenges and opportunities I face every day. Speaking from personal experience, I highly recommend reaching out to the executive editors and authors for additional insights to support your needs whether in the workplace or classroom.
New condition. Delivered quickly. Only 4 stars because it's a textbook, so I don't love it. :)
The text is formatted poorly and difficult to read in the Kindle version.
