The Real Trend in Population Health

The industry's strength and diversity is best seen in the membership of its leading voice, DMAA: The Care Continuum Alliance, which continues to expand its reach across many healthcare industry segments. This week, more than 700 leaders in population health management convened in San Diego for DMAA's 11th annual meeting, The Forum 09. Attendees heard industry leaders speak about a variety of successful interventions, collaborative delivery models, and innovative approaches to care.

The Forum attendees and the broader DMAA membership would identify a clear trend in the population health management industry: A trend of continuing innovative evolution and expansion, built on both past successes and lessons learned, to provide health promotion, prevention, and chronic care management services to all in a continuing effort to significantly improve the health of the nation and reduce the costs of care.

Tracey Moorhead is the president and CEO of DMAA: The Care Continuum Alliance.
