Population health management (PHM) is a holistic concept that aims to keep a patient population as healthy as possible. One of the main goals of PHM is to minimize the need for expensive medical interventions by incentivizing healthcare providers to develop new skill sets and new infrastructures for delivering high-quality care. In many cases, automation makes population health management feasible, scalable, and sustainable.
Should Radiology Be Involved in Population Health?
The question of whether radiology should engage directly with population health is on many people's minds. As medicine transitions from a fee-for-service footing to value-based care, it is incumbent on every physician to weigh the advantages and challenges of this new care delivery model. Learn how radiologists can position themselves to optimize care for patient populations of all backgrounds while saving on costs and strengthening the U.S. healthcare system.
Leading Population Health Management Initiatives
In this Radiology Leadership Institute Power Hour webinar, learn about population health management (PHM), a relatively new approach to care delivery where the goal is to keep distinct patient populations as healthy as possible while minimizing costly interventions and procedures.

Understanding and Pursuing Health Equity: Opportunities to Take Action
This webinar on health equity and radiology is designed to provide radiologists with insight on how they can take action to ensure quality care for all members of their communities.
Exceeding Expectations
The ACR’s Population Health Management Committee is helping radiologists improve patient health while contributing to downstream savings.
Changing the Storyline
Radiologists can rewrite the existing narrative on health disparities by reaching out to underserved communities about the lifesaving benefits of CTC.
Shoring Up Missed Care Opportunities
By employing population health surveillance and reducing missed care opportunities, radiologists can help anticipate suboptimal patient outcomes before they happen.
Radiology, AI, and PHM
By employing machine learning algorithms, radiologists can lead the way on population health management efforts.
