Evidence-Based Population Health Improvement Plan The Population Health Improvement Plan (PHII) integrates quality and performance improvement approaches throughout the United States' health departments. The main goals are to increase the pace of public health accreditation preparations, improve efficiency and effectiveness through quality improvement initiatives, and increase the capacity for performance management (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, n.d.). The Triple Aim Framework, developed by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement to improve patient care, population health, and healthcare costs, has been rewarded as part of a national strategy for population- based efforts and is widely cited as a framework for public health (Atkins, Gabriel, Cortelyou- Ward, & Rotarius, 2020, p. 187-200).Population health varies by location due to population needs. It is important to establish an evidence-based plan that is realistic to fit the needs of patients in your area. Data Evaluation It is essential to determine the geographic area in which you will be creating your plan for and consider which diagnosis you will encounter frequently. The use of statistics to identify and classify populations is critical to population health. It also defines the population in terms of health metrics and measurements, as well as monitors and evaluates the results of population health efforts. A disease process prevalent in this area is type II diabetes. Diabetes has created a strain on today's healthcare costs. Patients are often found to be non-compliant and have multiple comorbidities affecting their health. Diabetes population health may be seen as a way for the American Diabetes Association (ADA) to put its aim "to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes" (Hill-Briggs, 2019, p. 61–68) into action.
