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.
