Reimagining Population Health Management
Can Genomics Evolve our Sick Care System into a True Healthcare System
Date: December 15, 2020
Time: 11:30 am – 12:30 pm PST
Imagine if our healthcare system could actually prevent us from becoming patients in the first place.
In today’s healthcare, we use only 10% of the data that predicts health outcomes. Genetic information has the potential to radically improve our predictive power and to help risk-stratify the patients at highest and lowest risk of common chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension.
This webinar will explore how using genetics as a routine part of our healthcare can help us improve population health management—by identifying the highest-risk patients and proactively delivering personalized, preventive interventions to the right patients at the right time.
In this webinar, we’ll cover:
- The channels, tools, and delivery methods that could be used for population health management;
- How genomics can be paid for when applied as a population health management tool in the transition to value-based care; and
- How digital health companies should think about building solutions for population health management.
