Public Health and Population Health: A Distinction with a Difference – Part 1 Prelicensure Level
Webinar Description
For the past decade, leaders in health care have been talking about population health and its importance in improving the health of the nation. The simplest definition of population health is “the health outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group” (Kindig and Stoddart, 2003). This term is often used seemingly interchangeably with public health-so what does that mean? Is population health the same as public health? If they are different, what are the differences? How do these concepts look in nursing practice-and how can faculty educate nurses for each role? AACN will present two webinars looking at similarities and differences between public health and population health in nursing practice-and provide exemplars of clinical experiences in each area. Part 1 will focus on public health and population health in nursing education at the prelicensure/generalist level of education and practice, and part 2 will focus on graduate/specialty nursing practice and education as they relate to population and public health.
This webinar is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Academic Partnerships to Improve Health.
Objectives
- Compare and contrast population health and public health in nursing education
- Describe key characteristics of prelicensure level public health clinical experiences at the prelicensure level
- Describe key characteristics of prelicensure level population health clinical experiences at the prelicensure level
This is a two-part series, the second part in the series will cover the Graduate Level. For registration details on Part 2: Graduate Level, see below.
