Population health cannot succeed in isolation — What health systems can do next
Health systems are being asked to improve outcomes, advance equity and manage costs at the same time. Yet many of the factors driving health exist outside hospital walls.
When population health strategies rely solely on internal resources, gaps emerge. Social needs go unmet, avoidable emergency department use persists and initiatives stall without clear ownership or shared goals. These challenges have become more pronounced as value-based care expands and financial pressure intensifies.
This whitepaper draws from a featured executive session at Becker's CEO + CFO Roundtable, where clinical leaders from Duke Health, Mount Sinai Health System and others shared how collaboration is reshaping their population health strategies.
Through real-world examples, the discussion explores how collaborations with community-based organizations, payers and industry partners are helping health systems address social determinants of health, reduce avoidable utilization and better align incentives.
Key takeaways include:
