Characteristics of Population Health Physicians and the Needs of Healthcare Organizations.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:Healthcare organizations are transitioning from fee-for-service, volume-based care toward value-based care and the Triple Aim. Physicians have critical roles as leaders and practitioners in this emerging field of population health management; however, the competencies required of these physicians are not well described. The purpose of this study is to explore the approaches of healthcare systems to population health-related functions, the competencies needed, and the characteristics of physicians who lead or staff these functions. METHODS:Investigators conducted semistructured interviews with a convenience sample of 14 healthcare executives and 15 Preventive Medicine physicians and a focus group with 9 healthcare executives. Interviews and the focus group were recorded, transcribed, and coded. Themes and notable quotes were identified. Data were collected and analyzed in 2019. RESULTS:Population health was variously defined by the healthcare executives, often naming specific components or activities. The typical population health activities described by healthcare executives (e.g., quality measurement and process improvement) were reported along with the skills of physicians performing these functions (e.g., data analysis, informatics, leadership, business acumen). A total of 2 types of population health physicians were described: the clinician leader and the population health specialist. CONCLUSIONS:This exploratory study identified several useful competencies for population health physicians in healthcare systems. Findings point to opportunities to promote a more systematic approach to population health and to prepare Preventive Medicine and other physicians for population health management positions.
