Check out how HIEs contribute to Population Health Management! Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) play a pivotal role in supporting population health initiatives. By aggregating and analyzing health data from diverse sources, HIEs assist in identifying health trends, patterns, and areas for improvement at the population level. This data informs public health strategies, disease surveillance, and interventions aimed at enhancing overall community health.

Hello colleagues, In June I posted about the release of the Public Health Reports Supplement “𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚-𝘽𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 𝙀𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨.” This supplement was created to help elevate authentic, needs driven public health practice. Particularly practice aimed at expanding access to conditions vital for health and well-being, reducing gaps in population health, and affording fair and just opportunities for all to become as healthy as possible. Our goal for dissemination is an ancient, well established one in public health—infusing practice and research derived insights into the operations of our professional networks and systems. We wish our professional community to grow continuously stronger in collectively enacting equitable strategies for promoting, protecting, and preserving health. After releasing the “Practice-Based Health Equity Research from the Frontlines” supplement CDC's Office of Health Equity with the continued support of Janice Bowie Gulzar Shah, PhD, MStat, MS. and Hazel D. Dean, ScD, MPH, FACE, FFPH, collaborated with Erin Williams of the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health and Zygmunt Dembek to produce the webinar announced in this repost. We hoped to provide opportunities to hear more on the important efforts described in the supplement. To offer this, we crafted the webinar with authors of selected articles representing distinct types of practice-based research. The following panelists will engage webinar participants and describe ways they leveraged practice-based knowledge within research despite facing challenges of the COVID-19 Pandemic, and other “cascading collective traumas” (e.g., an economic recession, structural racism and organized community responses, weather-related disasters, and the emergence of backlash against public health).

PBMs can play a key role in improving population health. At CVS Caremark, we’re finding opportunities along the care continuum to close gaps and improve health outcomes. This can look like supporting medication adherence and providing resources for disease management. In this clip, Dr. Michelle Gourdine talks about this important connection to population health and some of the tenets of our clinical agenda. #TeamCVS

Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, people began reporting symptoms that persisted weeks and months after the initial phase of illness. Today, Long COVID impacts millions of people worldwide, with many enduring health limitations that affect nearly every aspect of their lives.  One challenge the Long COVID community faces is visibility. According to a recent National Center for Health Statistics survey, 32 percent of US adults have not heard of Long COVID. Of those, 20 percent report feeling these symptoms might be “just the normal aches and pains of life.” International Long COVID Awareness Day on March 15 calls for increased public understanding of this debilitating chronic illness and support for those affected by it. This year’s theme, “Confront Long COVID,” reflects the goals of the Health+ Long COVID cycle. The Health+ Long COVID Human-Centered Design (HCD) Report and its corresponding Healthathon, conducted in partnership with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), helped elevate the voices in this often-overlooked community. By conducting interviews and workshops with patients, caregivers, and practitioners, we surfaced insights informed by real-world experiences that will improve lives and access to care for those living with Long COVID.

Do you know that collaboration between national statistical offices and public health agencies is crucial to better prepare for future health emergencies? I’m looking forward to moderating our #WHOPandemicHub panel session at the #UNDataForum on 15 November. Our session, “Towards enhanced pandemic and epidemic intelligence: The value of collaboration between National Statistical Offices and National Public Health Agencies” will bring together global experts and leaders to discuss how data-driven insights and stronger partnerships between national statistical offices and public health agencies strengthen global preparedness and response.    Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eyJSDcKk #betterdata #SDGs #datainnovation #datapartnerships #StatisticsAndHealth #CollaborativeSurveillance  

The concept of social determinants of health (SDH) has gained recognition in health research, highlighting the impact of socioeconomic factors on health outcomes and access to care. Yet, this is often overlooked in disease control efforts. For effective Mpox control, adopting a public health approach that accounts for SDH is essential. #PublicHealth #SDH #HealthEquity #Mpox

Traditional healthcare often plays catch-up with individual illnesses. Population health takes a different approach, focusing on preventing disease and promoting well-being for entire communities by addressing social factors and healthcare disparities.

#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking Public health studies focus on improving health outcomes at the community or population level. They examine various factors such as disease prevention, health policies, and environmental influences. These studies delve into how social determinants, healthcare access, and lifestyle choices impact overall health. The ultimate goal is to develop strategies to enhance public well-being

The 2024-2025 Commonwealth Budget reveals key commitments to First Nations health, focusing on communicable disease control, mental health, and suicide prevention. However, QAIHC Chairman Matthew Cooke expressed significant disappointment, stating that the budget does not adequately address Indigenous health needs nor respond to the Australian Productivity Commission’s findings on Closing the Gap. With $94.9 million dedicated to health strategies, including vaccination uptake and STI testing, the budget leaves many questions about the government's priorities unanswered.
