Chronic Diseases And Population Health Management
Scenario
The key to an effective and sustainable population health management program is to understand your chronic disease patients and coach them towards a healthy lifestyle. The success of population health and chronic disease management efforts hinges on a few key elements:
Identifying those at risk and the health disparities that may exist within the population
Accessing the right data about patients
Creating actionable insights about patients
Coaching patients daily toward healthier choices
Instructions
As your health system is drafting a strategic framework for the PHM program, you are tasked with creating a PowerPoint presentation with detailed speaker notes in each content discussion slide. Explain the relationship between disease management and population health needed in the following areas:
Describe the prevalent chronic diseases for the population your health system is serving.
Describe the risks associated with the proliferation of these chronic diseases.
Assess how the population will access information and resources to prevent and manage chronic diseases.
Construct a chronic disease communication plan that helps patients with chronic diseases to pursue healthier choices and to use population health resources.
Within the plan, share how you will ensure that all communication incorporates intercultural empathy, community engagement, and understanding of the population

Slide 2: Introduction
Speaker Notes:
- Welcome to this presentation on population health management.
- In this presentation, we will discuss the relationship between disease management and population health.
- We will also discuss the prevalent chronic diseases in our population, the risks associated with these diseases, and how the population will access information and resources to prevent and manage chronic diseases.
- Population health management is a systematic approach to improving the health of a population.
- It involves identifying the health needs of a population, developing interventions to address those needs, and evaluating the effectiveness of those interventions.
- Population health management is essential for preventing and managing chronic diseases.
- Disease management is a set of interventions designed to improve the health outcomes of people with chronic diseases.
- These interventions typically include education, counseling, and support.
- Disease management can help people with chronic diseases to better manage their conditions, which can lead to improved quality of life and reduced healthcare costs.
- Disease management is an important part of population health management.
- By focusing on the needs of people with chronic diseases, disease management can help to improve the health of the entire population.
- For example, by helping people with diabetes to better manage their condition, disease management can help to reduce the risk of complications such as heart disease and stroke.
- The most prevalent chronic diseases in our population include:
- Heart disease
- Cancer
- Stroke
- Diabetes
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Mental illness
- These diseases are responsible for a significant amount of morbidity and mortality in our population.
- Chronic diseases are associated with a number of risks, including:
- Early death
- Disability
- Reduced quality of life
- Increased healthcare costs
- These risks can be significant, and they can have a major impact on individuals, families, and communities.
- People with chronic diseases need access to information and resources in order to manage their conditions effectively.
- This information and resources can include:
- Education about the condition
- Counseling on how to manage the condition
- Support from healthcare providers and other individuals
- Access to this information and resources can help people with chronic diseases to live longer, healthier lives.
- Population health management is an important approach to improving the health of our population.
- Disease management is an important part of population health management.
- The most prevalent chronic diseases in our population include heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, COPD, and mental illness.
- These diseases are associated with a number of risks, including early death, disability, reduced quality of life, and increased healthcare costs.
- People with chronic diseases need access to information and resources in order to manage their conditions effectively.
