Population Health Management: the new world wide scientific standard

Epidemiologic, demographic and societal challenges put pressure on the sustainability of our health care system. The urgency for a strategy to keep health care costs down — without lowering the quality of health care in the long term — is present more than ever. Healthcare professionals, healthcare insurers and the healthcare industry need to be equipped to meet these challenges proactively.

Population Health Management is a broadly based response to these challenges and has emerged as an important strategy for health care providers and payers. According to thought leaders, it is to become the new worldwide scientific standard. A game changer.

Are you interested in a more proactive approach in health care? Do you want a key role in a more integrated health care system? Then this Summer School is a good introduction. It offers a thorough overview of the various components in Population Health Management.

Reviews from previous participants

Daan L. de Frel, PhD LUMC: “I see a lot of patients with a lot of diseases and we cure them in hospital. But I also see a lot of medical sources wasted on items we could cure within the population, outside the hospital. This summer school presented an opportunity to see how you can manage that. How you can zoom in on a specific population and help them, outside the hospital.”

Dr. D.J. Versluis, MHA, Internist-intensivist, HMC: "PHM gives an excellent insight into the various aspects of public health care and the relationship between them. Awareness of this relationship is essential, to place your own contribution within a broader perspective - and to act upon it within your own domain, in connection with other stakeholders."

Loïse M.G. Jacz-Kruithof MD, General Practitioner: “The highlight is working together with all different professionals during the week.”

Drs Karin J.G. Busch, Regiomanager Zorggroep Hadoks: "The course gave me a concrete understanding of PHM and what it means in daily practice. The combination of theory and practical workshops worked very well."
