Local Epidemiology & Outcomes

By completing this task, you will have:

• A well-defined target population [example of CaReMe target population definitions – co-morbid vs multi-morbid]
• A list of the target populations organised in order of priority (#1 being the most important, aligned with the main Goal)
• Filled in the specific slides in your project deck
• A mind map in digital format (multi-layer template: Fill in Target population)

Tip

• Understand your Target Patient Population, which your Clinic intends to care for – in order to correctly determine the epidemiologic characteristics and clearly define the outcomes to aim for.

Aim: Once your Target population has been defined – it is important to develop a more “quantitative” picture of the epidemiologic characteristics of your current population of patients and their outcomes, to ensure consistency.

Objective: To enable the coherence of the set goals and target population with the current situation and the actual impact of the transformation of care you aim for, and possibly also health economic considerations.

Tip

• Example of Outcomes: Preventing death and disease, Improving medical care, Improving quality of life and empowerment, etc.
• Remember: Outcomes should be realistic, measurable and assessed practically
