The role of health care increasingly goes beyond looking after people who are sick. Hospitals have typically focused on improving health through being a ‘repair shop’. However, improving health needs to go beyond tackling illness, and today, healthcare systems have a crucial role in focusing more on health promotion, the risk factors and causes of ill health. J In this session, participants will have the opportunity to hear more about population health improvement and the role of healthcare staff, leaders, and organisations in improving population health.

Objectives:

• Describe the key features of population health improvement


• Identify opportunities and challenges of healthcare organisations and leaders in undertaking these approaches


• Translate learning and insights to generate ideas for your own work
