About us
The Department of Population Medicine (DPM) in the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute is a research and teaching collaboration between Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Harvard Medical School. The Department was created in 1992 to focus on research and education as they relate to the care of large defined populations, including individuals who do not seek out care. As the nation's first medical school appointing department based in a health plan, we are strategically positioned to improve population health and health care delivery locally, nationally, and internationally. We’re distinctive for our scope, expertise, and collaborations. Our mission and activities are highly consonant with the National Academy of Medicine’s advocacy for a national Learning Health System – one that incorporates evidence-based practices into routine care, captures new knowledge as part of the ongoing delivery of care, and then applies new knowledge in a timely manner. The Department is housed in the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute, a limited liability corporation of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. We are one of 15 Harvard Medical School affiliates. In 2021, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care combined with Tufts Health Plan, creating Point32Health. The Institute is also part of Point32Health and now partners with both health plans. Dr. Richard Platt is both Department Chair and President of the HPHC Institute.

💡 Though considered an integral part of a daily oral hygiene routine, a new study co-authored by Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute's Izzuddin Aris found that daily flossing among U.S. adults has shown only a slight increase from 2009 to 2020. Read more in #JADAJournals:
This month in JADA, one study finds the prevalence of daily flossing among U.S. adults increased only slightly from 2009 to 2020, suggesting messaging to encourage adults to floss daily has been ineffective. https://lnkd.in/gX4J8D8W #JADAJournals Izzuddin Aris Harvard School of Dental Medicine Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute

Online now: a collaborative effort between researchers from Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention takes a closer look at how PCORnet and similar networks can fill in gaps for existing national surveillance infrastructure. The team, which includes Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute's Kshema Nagavedu, MPH; Soowoo Back, MPH, Christine Draper, Casie Horgan, Juliane Reynolds, and co-senior author Jason Block say that #EHR have an important role for public health surveillance both for chronic and infectious diseases, providing comprehensive information available soon after data collection. They suggest that strategic funding and financing models need to be developed, and federal, state, and local support could help establish EHRs as an important sustainable mechanism for surveillance.

🌟Happening today| ISAC webinar🌟 Antibiotic susceptibility patterns used for epidemiologic surveillance of Staphylococcus aureus Organised by the ISAC MRSA Working Group 📆11 July 2024 ⏰ 15.00 CET / 09.00 EST There have been recent studies in the US and Spain showing emerging resistance in MSSA to macrolides and to tetracyclines. ST398 S. aureus strains, initially identified as “livestock associated MRSA” are a fascinating example. Studies of clinical S. aureus strains have in some cases included molecular epidemiology suggesting that ST398 S. aureus strains may be responsible for a change in the relative prevalence of strains causing clinically significant disease. Other studies have examined national or transnational emergence of various increasingly common strains of MRSA and MSSA, using susceptibility patterns to track strain emergence or change over time. Join this webinar and hear from 3 experts in the field on these topics. The session will be moderated by Dr Michael David (Director of the MRSA Research Program and Director of the Skin and Soft Tissue Clinic at Penn) and Prof. Margreet Vos (Clinical Microbiologist / Professor of Healthcare related Infections at ErasmusMC, Rotterdam) There is still time to register ⬇ https://lnkd.in/e9vcsRF6 #MRSA #staph #staphaureus #staphlococcal #staphinfection #healthcare #saureus #antibioticresistance #antibiotics #antimicrobialstewardship #antimicrobialresistance #antimicrobials #clinicalmicrobiology #globalhealth #publichealth #MSSA
