Population Health Management – Practical Application

This course will deliver bespoke teaching on the practical application of population health management (PHM) tools and the underlying analytical principles of PHM. During the course, participants will use a real-world dataset with prepared practice problems with full detailed explanations of the process using R software.

This course will provide analysts with clear examples of how to perform PHM analytics in practical terms and will make sure that participants know how to translate the skills to the datasets they have access to in their everyday roles. Additionally, this course will ensure that participants understand the underlying principles of PHM so that they can accurately and efficiently apply the skills in an independent manner following completion of the course.
