Population Health
What is Population Health?
We define population health as a system of care that drives better health outcomes and experiences at a lower cost for populations, we have agreed to take responsibility for. These populations are often defined by geographic region, age, gender, ethnic and racial background, disability, or another defining characteristic.
What Are We Doing About Population Health?
In 2015, Ochsner Health launched Ochsner Health Network (OHN), a clinically integrated network focused on sharing knowledge, resources, processes and technology to:
- Improve quality of healthcare
- Enhance the care delivery model to center around the patient
- Develop better coverage solutions for employers and patients; and to
- Improve efficiency thereby reducing the total cost of care
