UT System is committed to addressing the health needs of Texans through our research, care delivery, and educational and workforce training. In this Population Health Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2019-2024, prepared at the request of the UT System Board of Regents, we outline a strategy focused on our institutions and their unique strengths and opportunities. Our institutions are committed not only to providing exceptional health care to their patients, but to working in partnership with their communities to identify and implement programs that will improve the health of all people and inform practices and standards across the United States.
This plan was developed by a group of population health leaders from the UT health and medical institutions as part of the newly established UT Collaboration for Population Health Innovation and Improvement (UT CoPHII). A key premise of the planning process was that an overarching UT System plan could not be developed in isolation from the population health plans of our individual campuses. Institutional plans were therefore first developed by internal population health teams, with ongoing input from UT CoPHII colleagues and leadership, and then approved by the institutions’ leadership.
