On December 14th from 14.00 to 15.00 pm, IFIC Ireland will host a free webinar on Population Health, the latest in our Realising Integrated Care series.
As we try to build better integrated care systems, a population health approach is a must. Our panel of experts will discuss their experience in making care more accessible and more effective for local and regional populations and disadvantaged groups.
The presentations and Q&A discussion will touch on themes that will be further explored at our International Conference for Integrated Care (ICIC) in Flanders next May, including:
- How can digital innovations such as digital care support plans enable improved population health approaches?
- How can we collect and include data on a broader range of indicators including social care and support, psychological and mental needs among others, to identify the needs of the population to plan better support services?
- How can we ensure risk assessment and stratification are included in all the population health approaches?
- How can national and regional care strategies and policies support population health approach?
- How can we know our population better to adapt population health initiatives to the characteristics and needs of the local population?
- What are the training and education needs for better integrated care at all levels including population health management?
- How can we reach out to the more vulnerable groups to ensure an inclusive approach?
Speakers will include:
Dr Sarah O’Brien, Office of National Clinical Advisor and Group Lead (NCAGL) for Chronic Disease
Solvejg Wallyn, Policy Officer at Flemish Community – Agency Care and Public Health
