HRSA Webinar: Tips for Using Your Health IT System for Population Health Management

Health IT systems are proving to be a valuable tool in managing population health. This webinar provides tips and examples from experts on how to use your health information technology (IT) system to achieve this.

By focusing on the health of a community or population, providers can determine what risks or variables are affecting the public health of the community as a whole. Health IT systems can collect patient health data, allowing safety net providers to view health information across their entire patient population to achieve greater health outcomes. Presenters will provide examples of how health IT systems are used for managing population health within their communities to improve health outcomes.

Presenters:
• Richard Elmore, Office of National Coordinator for Health IT
• Staff from Maine Primary Care Association
• Staff from Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO)
• Staff from Finger Lakes Community Health
