Population Health Informatics: Driving Evidence Based Solutions into Practice

By Ashish Joshi (Author), Lorna Thorpe (Author), Levi Waldron (Author), October 2017

Population Health Informatics addresses the growing opportunity to utilize technology to put into practice evidence-based solutions to improve population health outcomes across diverse settings. While most health informatics texts take a hospital centric approach, this innovative new first edition focuses on how to operationalize population health informatics solutions to address important public health challenges impacting individuals, families, communities, and the environment in which they live. The book uniquely uses a practical, step-by-step approach to implement evidence-based, data- driven population informatics solutions. Perfect for public health students and students from other interdisciplinary fields with an interest in population health informatics, this book fulfills a key component of the new Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH) recommendations for “Critical Components for the Core of a 21st Century MPH Degree”.
