Cerner & Missouri Forging A Real Partnership For Population Health

Increasingly, the United States is looking to “population health” as a means of providing better health and care to entire communities. Nevertheless, defining such communities and how to improve outcomes, especially for our most vulnerable populations, has been misunderstood by most. There is no single analytical tool, coordinated care model or insurance reimbursement method that can solve our many issues with access to and quality of care – and the associated individual behaviors – for all. It is only with honest assessment, understanding and transformation of housing, food, transit and education, in tandem with better health information that can lift all citizens.
