Population Health

The Population Health Toolkit brings together tools and information to support improving your awareness as your organization journeys into population health management. We believe that the future of health care depends on creating a movement toward wellness but that this should be done in a holistic approach using community data and systems thinking. This toolkit is continually updated with resources to do just that.

Transition to Value and Population Health is one of the National Rural Health Resource Center's five core focus areas.

Take the Population Health Readiness Assessment to assess your organization’s unique strengths and needs for transitioning toward population health using the seven Baldrige categories to ensure a holistic approach for success. Then explore a variety of rural-relevant resources curated into these categories. We hope that the tools and resources found here can help change the rural health care landscape.
