About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of community-driven health analytics in whole population care with insights from Meghan Harris of Acentra Health.

True healthcare transformation doesn’t happen in an isolated spreadsheet; it happens within the community. While the industry generates massive amounts of health data, that information too often fails to reach the local leaders who need it most. Join host Beth Friedman and Meghan Harris, President and Chief Operations Officer at Acentra Health, for an engaging conversation about health analytics and the community drivers of health. Drawing on her background in mathematics and statistics, Meghan explains why the most effective interventions are built with the whole person in mind and steers by the communities themselves. Beth and Meghan dig into the practical realities of whole-population care, exploring how broader challenges like housing and environmental factors shape individual outcomes. Tune in to discover how we can bridge the divide between “data rich” and “data poor” populations, putting actionable insights directly into the hands of those designing the future of healthcare.
