Data analytics plays a pivotal role in PHM by enabling healthcare providers to identify health risks, track health trends, and forecast future health outcomes. By using electronic health records (EHRs) and predictive models, PHM helps in identifying high-risk populations and addressing their needs proactively, thus reducing avoidable hospitalizations and emergency care. Care coordination ensures that patients, especially those with chronic conditions, receive consistent and efficient care from various healthcare providers, preventing gaps in treatment. Patient engagement and education are fundamental in PHM, as they empower individuals to take control of their health, adhere to treatment plans, and participate in preventive care. Moreover, community-based interventions that focus on social determinants of health, such as access to nutrition, housing, and healthcare, are essential to reducing health disparities and promoting equitable health outcomes. Despite challenges like data interoperability and engaging high-risk populations, PHM represents a transformative shift towards value-based healthcare.
