Is It Groundhog Day with Population Health? – #HITsm Chat Topic

We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 3/3 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by Hosted by David Chou (@dchou1107) and Lisa Esch (@lisaesch). We’ll be discussing the topic “Is It Groundhog Day with Population Health?“.

Population health seems to be a hot topic in every healthcare IT circle. One of the challenges with population health is that everyone is applying the term to everything. It’s hard to know exactly what is happening with population health and what’s all talk. Plus, in many cases it feels like we’ve been down this road before.

With this in mind, join as at this week’s #HITsm Twitter chat to try and cut through the hyperbole and talk about the population health that’s really making a difference. Plus, we’ll look at how to make sure financial incentives are aligned and where population health is going in the future.
