The contemporary focus of the integrated health systems defines the nature of the clients as a population rather than an individual. Population management involves which of the following activities?
 
  1. Census taking to determine the total number of people in the community's population
  2. Assessing the needs of the client population through health histories, claims, use of service patterns, and risk factors
  3. Providing case management services for every citizen in the community
  4. Selecting programs for wellness that are repeated annually

Question 2

The health care industry comprises systems that integrate financing, management, and delivery of services. Population management includes wellness and illness prevention. The use of integrated systems has had important consequences such as
 
  1. Management has shifted from inpatient care to primary care providers as points of entry.
  2. Emphasis is on population health management rather than on episodes of illness for an individual.
  3. Care management services and programs do not provide access and accountability, but case management services do.
  4. Population management no longer requires assessment.
