	"Population health management is founded on understanding population and subgroups' clinical needs and utilization patterns and by being informed by tools and tactics to predict future risks and utilization. These are exactly the strategies we need to successfully reduce readmissions: Know your data and why your patients are readmitted; identify readmission risk factors, broadly defined; address and mitigate those risks; and ensure successful linkage to follow up and services in the community. Readmission reduction is a training ground for population health management capabilities." -Amy E. Boutwell, M.D., MPP, President, Collaborative Healthcare Strategies
	"Managed care organizations (MCOs), endocrinologists and primary care physicians (PCPs)...report that an average of 72% of their patients with type 2 diabetes are included in a PHM program, a rate that they forecast will increase to 81% in the next two years."
