Things to consider when choosing a population

You might have a number of potential population segments in consideration. Below are some key things to consider when picking where to start:

• Is there an opportunity to improve all 3 aspects of the triple aim – population health outcomes, quality of care provided, and value for money?
• Is there a segment of the population that is failing to thrive, where there might be some inequity apparent?
• Is there an urgency to do something differently / redesign the system for this population segment?
• Do we have a really good idea who is in of this population? (Can we count them?)
• Do we have access to data that we can track regularly on outcomes, quality of care and value?
