Dr. Nancy Seifert

Instructor, Oregon State University

“Population health is the collaborative efforts among all health care professionals within a population that measures patient outcomes, builds on best practices and monitors access.”

Dr. Peter Slavin

President, Massachusetts General Hospital

“Population health is a management approach to redesigning the care for a group of people with the aims of making their care better and more efficient.”

Mari K. Stout, MHSA

Quality Improvement/Provider Engagement Specialist, ATRIO Health Plans

“Population health: Managing the system of activities focused on improving health outcomes for a collection of individuals (a population) by identifying care gaps based on evidence-based guidelines, understanding barriers and developing systems/teams that can help make the right thing the easy thing for individual patients and providers.”

Amy Stowers

CEO, OptimizeIT Consulting

“Any definition of population health is evolving and thought provoking, in the most serious context possible, because every human as a member of the global population deserves the right to the foundational elements necessary to be healthy. Foundational elements are both basic and unique to populations; therefore, it is essential for the elements to be identified and provided in an unrelenting manner that mitigates any negative impact to the health of populations.”

Quint Studer

Founder, Studer Group

“I prefer to use the term ‘people health,’ meaning each individual should be as healthy as possible.”

Bahaa Wanly

Administrator, UW Medicine

“Effectively taking responsibility for the health care of populations of patients to ensure high-quality, efficient health care at the lowest possible cost for the population.”

Jennifer Weiss Wilkerson

Vice President, MedStar Health

“Population health is an approach to managing the health of a population — a community, a group of employees, insurance plan enrollees, etc. — in order to improve the health outcomes of each member of that population. Population health is also about providing value — the highest possible outcome at the lowest possible cost.”

Dr. Stephanie Works

Senior Medical Director, Providence Medical Group

“Population health is a concept placing emphasis on addressing multiple health determinants for a group of individuals, such that the overall health of the group improves.”
