  • Beschreibung: <jats:p> Although “population health” is one of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s Triple Aim goals, its relationship to accountable care organizations (ACOs) remains ill-defined and lacks clarity as to how the clinical delivery system intersects with the public health system. </jats:p><jats:p> Although defining population health as “panel” management seems to be the default definition, we called for a broader “community health” definition that could improve relationships between clinical delivery and public health systems and health outcomes for communities. </jats:p><jats:p> We discussed this broader definition and offered recommendations for linking ACOs with the public health system toward improving health for patients and their communities. </jats:p>
