Overview

Population health refers to the health status and health outcomes within a group of people rather than considering the health of one person at a time. For public health practitioners, improving population health involves understanding and optimizing the health of a population broadly defined by geography. To improve population health it is necessary to influence the social drivers that affect health outcomes through population-wide policies and intervention.
