Overview
Final Project: Population Health Assessment & Management Strategy for a Healthcare Organization
Covers Course Content from Weeks 1–8 (Ch. 1–13) Length: 8–10 pages (plus exhibits)
Scenario
Your healthcare system, SummitCare Health Network, serves a county of 360,000 residents through two hospitals and five outpatient clinics. SummitCare participates in several value-based care programs and is preparing a new Population Health Strategic Plan based solely on the areas you have studied in Weeks 1–8.
Your task is to design a population health assessment and management strategy that integrates:
- Foundations of public and population health
- Epidemiology fundamentals
- Measures of disease
- Screening, chronic disease epidemiology, and infectious disease epidemiology
- Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) and community assessment
- Population health approaches
- Population Health Management (PHM) frameworks
- Data and metrics used for PHM
This project should show the progression of your knowledge from Weeks 1–8 and demonstrate your ability to integrate these concepts into a unified real-world strategy.
