Transforming healthcare delivery: The essential role of nurses, administrators, and pharmacists in advancing population health management
Keywords:
Integrated care systems, chronic illness management, socioeconomic determinants of health, nursing, health administration, population health management, health equityAbstract
Background: Population Health Management (PHM) is a transformative approach to improving health outcomes by addressing both clinical and social determinants of health within specific populations. This strategy utilizes advanced technology and data analytics to prioritize prevention, proactive care, and enhanced collaboration across healthcare systems. Despite its potential, the integration of PHM into healthcare delivery remains uneven, requiring further research into its methods, outcomes, and implications, particularly for nursing, health administration, and pharmacy. Aim: This paper critically analyzes the foundational principles, processes, and outcomes of PHM, focusing on its impact on healthcare delivery. It examines the role of social determinants of health in achieving equity in care and explores how nursing, healthcare administration, and pharmacy contribute to optimizing and implementing PHM frameworks. Methods: A thorough literature review was conducted, utilizing peer-reviewed articles and case studies from high-impact publications. This review focused on PHM frameworks, including value-based care models and the Triple Aim, to assess key outcomes, challenges, and enablers of successful PHM implementation within integrated health systems. Results: The research findings indicate that PHM provides several notable benefits, such as reduced hospitalization rates, improved management of chronic diseases, and greater health equity through targeted interventions.
