Cancer diagnoses are projected to double by 2040, necessitating a new approach. Value-based focused Population Health Management (VBPHM) integrates quality aims and population health to improve cancer care globally.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Public Health
- Healthcare Management
Background:
- Global cancer diagnoses are rising rapidly, posing a significant challenge to healthcare systems worldwide.
- Current healthcare models struggle to address the comprehensive needs of patient populations, highlighting a need for "systems thinking".
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce and define Value-based focused Population Health Management (VBPHM) as a framework for improving population health.
- To examine the application of VBPHM at county and community levels within the United States.
- To discuss the potential role of Community-based Participatory Research within the VBPHM framework.
Main Methods:
- This review synthesizes existing literature on quality improvement frameworks and population health management.
- It examines the integration of the Institute of Medicine's six aims of quality with population health management strategies.
- The study analyzes the applicability of VBPHM at geographic county and community levels in the US.
Main Results:
- VBPHM emerges as a synthesized framework integrating "value-based focused" quality aims and population health management.
- The framework is applicable to county and community levels in the US for enhancing healthcare delivery.
- Community-based Participatory Research is identified as a potentially valuable component for VBPHM implementation.
Conclusions:
- VBPHM offers a comprehensive approach to address the growing burden of cancer and improve overall population health.
- The framework provides actionable strategies for healthcare leaders to deliver high-quality, compassionate, and patient-centered care.
- VBPHM has global applicability, particularly in enhancing cancer prevention and treatment outcomes.
