Primary Health Care and Population Health
Discussing risk stratification, population health management and learning health systems, and their relationship with Primary Health Care
During this session we will discuss what population health management is, what learning health systems are and how they relate to primary health care. We will learn about the recent WHO report on Population Health Management. We will hear about the Basque Country’s experience of using risk stratification tools in primary care over the past decade, and about the 25-year journey to develop a successful primary case focused ‘Learning Health System’ in north east London. We will also explore the role of the commercial sector in supporting the analysis of population health data and identify lessons for countries wishing to strengthen the role of primary health care in managing health and care at a population level.
Learn more about, and watch back, previous sessions run by LSHTM’s primary health care group on our website.
