Population Health Program Accreditation
Helping improve integration of population health principles into management of defined populations.
If an individuals’ journey through the health care system is fragmented and uncoordinated, the result can be increased costs and poorer outcomes.
Population health management activities can help organizations identify the needs of individuals and deliver appropriate, coordinated care, but many organizations don’t have a defined framework for effective population health management.
NCQA Population Health Program Accreditation helps organizations align their operations with the industry’s best population health management practices. Having a solid population health strategy reassures organizations and employers that they can monitor and address opportunities and challenges in their populations.
