The topic of population health is central to the understanding of healthcare. In this textbook the editors explain how influences within population health impact healthcare for all by providing tools on how to identify and analyze specific populations. Focus is placed on the supports and practices used in the advanced practice role with chapter contributions by known experts on their respective topics.
The text is divided into three parts. The first part provides a global review of population health, and includes access to data, data analysis, and explores the various APN roles in population health; practitioner, nurse educator, nurse executive, and policy advocate. The second part addresses key issues and populations including the elderly, the military, the chronically ill, and substance abusers. The third section addresses care providers and techniques that foster better care delivery, such as social marketing, coaching, compassion fatigue and resiliency.
