Things to consider when choosing a population

You might have a number of potential population segments in consideration. Below are some key things to consider when picking where to start:

• Is there a segment of the population that is failing to thrive, where there might be some inequity apparent?
• Will the work be able to impact on all three parts of the triple aim?
• Can you get your arms around the population? (Can you count who is in the population?)
• Is existing work taking place and is this work a priority to those in the system?
• Are there other partners who share responsibility for this population that are willing to partner with us in this work?
• Is there readily available data that people are willing to share?
