Abstract
Nearly half of Americans received employer-sponsored health insurance in 2018. How can the principles of population health enable employers to provide better quality and patient experience in healthcare for their employees, while keeping costs manageable? Dr. Kaminski will lead a discussion with two leaders in the new Population Health for Employers program at the Jefferson College of Population Health.
