Defining Population Healthcare • “The aim of Population healthcare is to maximise value for those populations and the individuals within them Population healthcare focuses primarily on populations defined by a common need which may be a symptom such as breathlessness, a condition such as arthritis or a common characteristic such as frailty in old age, not on institutions, or specialties or technologies”

Systems can focus on symptoms, conditions or subgroups of the population (also known as a service)A NETWORK is a set of individuals and organisations that deliver the system’s objectives (a team is a set of individuals or departments within one organisation)A PATHWAY is the route patients usually follow through the network A PROGRAMME is a set of systems with ha common knowledge base and a common budget • Primary Secondary Acute Community Outpatient X X X X X
