Dashboards, in the automotive sense of the word, are intended to communicate - at a glance - what's going on underneath the hood. Drivers may respond differently to this information than would an auto mechanic, but the ultimate goal is the same - to keep the car running well. Population health dashboards are analogous. During this session, participants will hear how various dashboards help patients determine how healthy their communities are, whether the health metrics are useful, and how to use health metrics to communicate health messages across communities.

Session Objectives: *Participants will be able to describe the importance of how people search for and consume health information *Participants will be able to describe the importance of population health metrics in achieving “accountable care” for all.
