| CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | The increasing complexity of healthcare and its importance to the national economy established the need and demand for professionals and researchers well-versed and prepared to assume leadership roles. In addition, the complexity and scope of the industry required that research and education be addressed comprehensively and holistically from the perspective of population health: health outcomes and their distribution within the population, the determinants that influence this distribution, and the policies and interventions that impact these determinants. Jcph seeks to create conditions that promote health, prevent adverse events, and improve outcomes. Population health builds on public health foundations by: - connecting prevention, wellness and behavioral health science with healthcare delivery, quality and safety, disease prevention/management and economic issues of value and risk - all in the service of a specific population, be it a city, provider's practice, employee group, hospital's primary service area or age group; - identifying socio-economic and cultural factors that determine the health of populations and developing policies that address the impact of these determinants; - applying epidemiology and biostatistics in new ways to model disease states, map their incidence and predict their impact; and - using data analysis to design social and community interventions and new models of healthcare delivery that stress care coordination and ease of accessibility.
