	"Population health management (PHM) is a team sport. The traditional one-on-one, inbound medical model is not sufficient to achieve the goal of PHM, which is to enable everybody in a defined population, irrespective of health status, to maintain and improve their health. To be successful in achieving this goal, providers and payers must recognize and attempt to influence social determinants of health (economic stability, education, social and community support, health and healthcare and neighborhood environment) in addition to assuring that care is coordinated and that individuals have the skills, knowledge and confidence necessary to play an active role in their health and healthcare." -Christobel E. Selecky, Population Health Alliance, Population Healthcare Strategies
