“VHA has done a lot of research in understanding the fundamental pieces that need to exist in order for providers to be able to succeed in transforming to a population health model that will ultimately lead to the improved health of the entire community,” said Keith Kosel, PhD, MHSA, MBA, vice president, VHA and executive director of VHA’s Center for Applied Healthcare Studies. “As with many transformational initiatives, strong leadership is critical. Our agreement with the Jefferson School of Population Health is a big step forward in preparing VHA members with the skills and knowledge to create policies and execute plans to improve the health of populations in the communities in which they operate.”
The first collaboration under VHA and Jefferson’s agreement is the Population Health Symposium on Nov. 11 and 12 in Philadelphia. For more information on the event, click here.
