	Errata: In the last issue of Population Health Bulletin, the following quote should have been attributed to Jason Pyle, President/CEO, BaseHealth: "Healthcare providers know that portions of their populations are high-risk, costly patients. They currently identify this cohort through utilization data (claims). This, however, is backwards. A large portion of a provider’s high-risk population is likely unknown... To address high-risk populations, organizations must identify the unknowns — the patients whose health hasn’t deteriorated but will without intervention. We call these unknowns, 'invisible patients.' Once identified, invisible patients represent the greatest opportunity to provide excellent patient care and reduce costs." (It was attributed in error to Thomas Graf.)
