How is Aggregation Applied in Population Health Management?
In the context of population health management, aggregation involves grouping individuals based on demographic factors, health conditions, and social determinants of health. This allows healthcare providers to:
Identify high-risk populations that may benefit from targeted interventions. Develop community-based programs to address specific health issues. Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of public health initiatives.
For example, patients with diabetes may be grouped together to receive tailored educational programs, nutritional guidance, and regular monitoring.
