Insight 2022 – Day 3 – Population health management: How systems work together

Population health management: How systems work together

In this online training session Population Health Management experts Andi Orlowski, of the Health Economics Unit, and Sally Markwell of Oxford Brookes, take a look at the underlying need for health systems, the challenges that systems face when working together, and potential ways to address those challenges.

This session gave valuable insights for employees across the ICS, whether you’re analytical or not and provided practical and useful examples of systems working together.

The session covered:

• What are the determinants of health?
• What is overmedicalisation and how does it prevent good PHM?
• How do organisations work well across a system?
• The challenges of system working
• Examples of improving the wider determinants of health
