Population health flips the usual model of US healthcare on its head. Instead of waiting until patients get sick and then billing on a fee-for-service basis when they seek care, population health is proactive.

It addresses the root causes of disease in the community by focusing on prevention and the social determinants of health.

It sounds great in theory, but is anyone actually doing it?

🎙️⚕️ ABOUT CARETALK EXECUTIVE FEATURES
Caretalk Executive Features is a series where we spotlight innovative companies and leaders working to advance the healthcare field.

🎙️⚕️ ABOUT MARK C. CLEMENT CEO, TRIHEALTH
In 2016, under Mark’s leadership, TriHealth began its journey towards population health because they saw that the healthcare system was broken and that it was up to them to get care right. Mark’s vision for providing better care, health, value, and experience is the basis for a more human approach to healthcare, designed to keep people healthy rather than simply helping them access treatment when they’re sick. This shift in approach has transformed healthcare in Greater Cincinnati and established Mark and TriHealth as the vanguards for adopting and effectively implementing the population health model.

Through Mark’s leadership and a concerted effort to improve access, TriHealth has been able to direct 70% of its caseload to the outpatient setting (compared to 55% for the next closest health system), ensuring consumers are always within 10 minutes of TriHealth facilities. Areas that were once healthcare deserts now have access to state-of-the-art care.

🎙️⚕️ ABOUT TRIHEALTH
TriHealth operates 5 hospitals and over 100 other ambulatory, post-acute, and other sites of care throughout the Tri-State region of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. The organization also operates the largest corporate health and fitness program in Greater Cincinnati, the largest not-for-profit hospice in the region, and major teaching programs, including nine residencies and fellowships.

In 2016, TriHealth began its journey towards population health because it saw that the healthcare system was broken and it was up to them to get care right. TriHealth has made a steadfast commitment to delivering better care, better health, and better value.
