Week 6 – Assignment: Develop a Population Health Management Strategy

In this assignment, you are to determine the most effective strategy or strategies for managing the health of a population. Remember, that the term intervention is used interchangeably with the term strategy.

• Identify the chronic disease you have selected and cite the resource.
• Identify and describe the intervention(s).
• Explain your reason for using the intervention(s).
• Discuss how you plan to implement the intervention(s).
