title: Best practices for an integrated population health management (PHM) program.
abstract: Large employers are beginning to create much more robust and potentially effective systems of integrated health management interventions. This organization-wide activity is referred to as a "Population Health Management" (PHM) approach. Best practices are also beginning to emerge in this area, and a number of technical developments are helping shape the patterns of response from innovative employers. This initiative is rapidly emerging as a critical part of overall business and health care strategy.
