The Evolution of Population Management at CHRISTUS Health

Grayling Yarbrough, Director of Population Health Management, and Randy Osteen, Associate CIO and Vice President for Information Management, CHRISTUS Health.  Over the past few years, Population Health Management has become a buzz word in the healthcare industry as payment and care delivery moves from fee-for-service to value-based care models.  In 2013, CHRISTUS Health began its journey to prepare for these changes to support its growing Health Plans, Clinically Integrated Networks and Population Health Services Organization.  Grayling and Randy discuss the background and journey on which the organization has embarked to effectively manage high-risk populations, support Health Plan operations, and improve the quality of care and service delivered across its large integrated health network.
