Innovation for Better Population Health

We are involved in forward thinking strategies to support the future of the health information field. Population health should be the driver of needed technologies. The communities that we serve require right-fit systems that are beneficial and affordable. Our aim is to develop and assist the industry with research and development of products that capture, analyze, predict and exchange contextual patient and population health data. This includes information on social determinants such as the availability of healthy foods, access to transportation, air quality, community health scorecards and other impactful information. Technology for community involves those communities, including providers, in the creation of new services. The NCPC understands community, population health, clinical services, policy and the technological innovations needed to develop appropriate systems for vulnerable communities.
