4A Engaging Communities: Improving Population Health in Alternative Payment Models
Objectives
Addressing upstream social, behavioral, and environmental determinants of health can help achieve success in alternative payment models
Effective population health strategies are marked by approaches to:
Identify individuals most likely to benefit
Leverage existing programs to address needs and support the development of new programs where gaps exist
Apply a data-driven approach to monitor effectiveness of service delivery
Partnerships across the delivery system—payers, providers, public health groups—and with communities themselves are critical to the success of population health strategies
