Population Health Management

Proactively working to improve people’s health and wellbeing with a focus on preventing ill health, prolonging life expectancy and promoting healthy behaviours is known as population health management. 

Population Health Management helps us improve the health and wellbeing of people living across Central East by using information to understand the health needs of people in our area and improve services. 

It helps us see which health problems have the biggest impact, which services work best, and where we can make the greatest difference. It also helps us identify the people and communities most likely to benefit from care and measure whether services are improving health, reducing unfair differences, and making good use of NHS resources.

We will continue to use a population health management approach to plan, improve and review services. This means using local evidence to understand need and identify what care works best. It means targeting support and resources to the people, communities and services where they can have the greatest impact. 

It also means measuring what care is delivered, what difference it makes, and whether it is improving health and reducing inequality. This helps the ICB make better decisions and make best use of public resources for the people we serve.
