ABSTRACT
The future of population health will promote improved patient self-management, sophisticated decision support at the point of care, and exchange with state and national registries. The future of population health will enable improvements in primary, secondary, and tertiary wellness and disease management. Expansion of the digital health landscape has resulted in an explosion of data types that patients are using as part of their health experience. Population health of the future will pivot centralized approved United States Preventive Task Force recommendations alongside personalized estimates of risk, resulting in improved precision medicine. Improved access to prevalence, risk, and community-based benefit can be included in population health predictive analytics of the future. This should enable entities, health systems and clinics, insurers, and public groups to better balance those tough decisions. Larger data sets that have uniform and reliable health information related to race, ethnicity, age, language, gender identity, sexual orientation, and geospatial data will help to identify those differences.
