With support from the National Network of Public Health Institutes, through a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-funded project, HPIO convened a group of healthcare and public health stakeholders throughout 2014 to develop a consensus definition of population health for Ohio.

This brief describes the consensus understanding of population health that resulted from discussions among members of this workgroup. It provides a definition of population health and describes five key characteristics of population health strategies.
