Population Health

Population Health is the state of Tennessee’s care coordination effort to support TennCare Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) populations. The program contracts with statewide managed care organizations to improve healthcare outcomes such as increasing child vaccinations, reducing preterm births, and enhancing behavioral health services for adults with substance use disorder. To advance those goals, the program uses evidence-based approaches, such as text message interventions, chronic disease management, and patient-centered medical homes.
