The Population Health Essentials Academy is a 3-day introductory program that provides a comprehensive overview of population health and outlines the fundamentals necessary to improve outcomes and reduce costs.

Population health provides the tools and understanding how to practice population health management, including care coordination, patient engagement, transparency, and accountability for all outcomes. Clinicians and healthcare leaders need to be able to work with and across stakeholder groups to coordinate care across the continuum and to align economic incentives in order to deliver the best possible care at the right time and at the best price.
