The “secret sauce” of population health blends access to data with actionable analysis, curates partnerships across sectors, and connects with communities to create options for upstream interventions.

We all want to be healthy. Yet, the money we spend primarily goes to taking care of people once they are already sick. At that point, it is too late – it costs too much, and cannot turn back the clock to give someone “health.” Providing value by improving patients’ health – at an efficient price – is the future of our health system. Consumer data holds a predictive key.

To improve community health outcomes, healthcare organizations need to look at indicators that go beyond traditional measures. Harnessing the power of social, economic, behavioral, environmental, and demographic data can bring a wealth of knowledge and predictive insights – allowing healthcare providers to address not only current population needs, but also emerging health risks and opportunities in the communities they serve.
