This also provides the backdrop against which the health care systems and the intervention programs are evaluated and redefined. One of the underlying aspects on this aspect, is that health is one of the most complex elements of the population characteristics and takes a multidimensional form and thus requires a number of metrics to establish the measure (Remmert, 2011). However, one of the simplest ways to establish the health of a population is through the aggregation of data from individuals and generate the statics that can be used in reference to a certain population at a certain point in time or period. Population health like most other complex systems has inputs and outputs, all of which affect the system in a varying number of ways, at complex levels of integration. The population health system is thus affected by a number of inputs which include aspects such as financing, policies, commodities, facilities, time and human resources (McDowell, Spasoff, & Kristjansson, 2004). At the end of the system there is the outputs which are elements that leave the system which in this case include the outcomes and byproducts of the system (Vassie & Fuller, 2003).
