Virtual

Healthcare organizations exist to serve the communities in which 
they reside. Though community health has always been a focus 
for these organizations, new regulations require them to take an 
active role. The health of a community or geographic population 
has a critical impact on a healthcare organization’s planning, 
operations, financial sustainability, outcomes and success. 
Due to the implementation of the key components of the 
healthcare reform by legislation, it will be even more important 
that provider organizations are both aware of and responsive to 
the health status and disease states that are most prevalent in 
their communities. Not only is a population-based focus the right 
thing to do, but it may prove to be the financially astute course of 
action.
