title: Clarifying population health.
abstract: "Population health" is the latest buzzword in health policy discussions, and more recently used by politicians. In fact, it is currently used to describe a wide range of activities. Governments are referring to population health more frequently as they try to find ways to reduce pressures on their health care systems. Its significance, therefore, cannot be overstated. But does anyone know what population health really means?
