This module provides a broad overview of the Business Case Tool explaining the purpose of the tool, the multidisciplinary team it is designed for, how it is organized, and the different ways it can be used for population health management planning.
Developing a strong business case is a key element in the foundation of patient-centered population-based health care. The Business Case Tool is an interactive Excel spreadsheet that uses site-specific data to model the financial outcomes of various approaches to population health management service delivery and staffing. Using the tool can support your team in the development of a care model that meets the unique needs of your patient population. As a result, your team can strategically allocate resources to reduce health care disparities and enhance quality care delivery.
