Caring for Our Communities

There has never been a more compelling time to adopt a system of care based on population health management. The COVID-19 pandemic revealed substantial health disparities. The population is aging, and the Medicare insolvency crisis is looming. Now is the time to move away from fee-for-service care and toward an approach that prioritizes quality, outcomes, and affordability for all populations. In Caring for Our Communities: A Blueprint for Better Outcomes in Population Health, author Mark Angelo shares the expertise he has acquired as a senior administrator of a large accountable care organization and a leader in population health and palliative medicine. He provides tactical guidance for developing effective population health programs and explores value-based care models. He also uses real-world examples and industry experts' views to clarify the concepts underlying value-based initiatives and shares how data and analytics are used to assess the health and needs of a population. Caring for Our Communities provides a road map for creating an outcomes-focused system, using the right resources to nurture the health of our communities.
