HCS 457: Week 5 Summative Assessment: Population Health Presentation

Presentation Content

1.

According to Kindig and Stoddart (2003), population health is defined as the health

outcomes of a group of individuals. While some perspectives consider population

health only as the distribution of health outcomes within a group, there are others who are

concerned with social and environmental factors, policies, and interventions as indicators of

population health. 

As a health care professional, you want to assist in your local community by addressing

the determinants and distribution of the health outcomes of a given population. You plan to

present your findings, including your analysis of approaches to connecting public health

and the health care system, to the department of public health. You will demonstrate how

your skill in population health can improve individuals’ health outcomes through improved

care.
