Cover Story: Health systems worldwide are searching for better ways to respond to growing complexity. This paper introduces a systemic health system population segmentation model based on the unified care model, which combines medical and psychosocial needs and links lifelong and episodic care into a coherent whole. Developed and evaluated in Yishun Health, Singapore, the model provides a practical foundation for integrated health service planning, resource allocation, and shared accountability. The findings highlight psychosocial factors as major determinants of outcomes, opening new possibilities for designers, planners, and leaders seeking more person-centered and sustainable health system transformation. View this paper
