Population Management Overview

Population Management enables you to track the status of a group's health data and other information. The two

types of groups in Population Management are query groups and static groups.

A query group is based on criteria that you select. The members of a query group may change automatically if the

patients no longer fit the criteria, or if patients begin to fit the criteria. A static group includes patients that you

select. The members of a static group never change unless you change them. Whenever a patient is deleted, that

patient is automatically removed from all groups.

Population Management provides the following tools for reviewing and maintaining group data and information:

● Group Summary

enables you to review the group member list or to set profile information for all group

members.

● Graphs & Reports

allows you to use the options that follow to view graphs and reports for the group's data:

❍ Group Trend—displays group data organized in chronological order

❍ Distribution List—

displays members of the group listed in value ranges according to their data

❍ Distribution Histogram—

across a specific date range

❍ Before and After

before and after a specified event, organized in value ranges
