Reflection and Application of Learning

In years past, population health assessment was associated with functions of the public health system. While it remains an essential component of public health practice, population health assessment shapes healthcare delivery across a variety of settings.  Whether through public health or clinical healthcare systems, assessment and analysis of population health is the first step in identifying needs and creating strategies to improve outcomes.
