Escalating Needs for Population Health Management System
Improved living conditions, higher income, employment generation, industrialization, and technological revolution – all these can add that ease in living but at the same time invite in complexities in the daily lives. The stress of maintaining the high end job, rushing to meet the loan repayment deadlines, working double shifts to get through that medical school creates restlessness and no time to lead on with a healthy lifestyle. This ultimately leads to the mass birth of chronic diseases in people all around.
Hypertension, diabetes, obesity and asthma are the commonest of the chronic disorders the real world is now facing and this trend is estimated to only rise upwards by 2025. As the proverb goes, prevention is better than cure, population health management also strives to establish cohorts for patients by recognizing characteristic traits and subsequently develop customized acute and preventive care protocols before the patient contracts the chronic disorder; finally enabling the management to treat the patients as per their respective risk profiles. The management also ensures optimization of the patient’s financial conditions.
