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 accountabili-ty, but case management services do.
4. Population management no longer requires assessment.
