FAQ
What should I know about immunizations?
Immunization is the process by which a vaccine stimulates an immune response. The body creates antibodies (immunoglobulins), in response to the vaccine. These antibodies protect against infection.
What are the three primary goals of a healthcare system?
Healthcare systems should have three primary goals: Provide affordable healthcare, improve health outcomes and reduce costs.
These goals have been combined into a framework called Triple Aim. It is based on research by the Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI). IHI published this in 2008.
This framework aims to ensure that we all focus on the same goals and can achieve each goal while not compromising other goals.
This is because they're not competing against each other. They support each other.
As an example, if access to care is improved, fewer people die from inability to pay. This lowers the overall cost for care.
Improving the quality of care also helps us achieve the first aim - providing care for patients at an acceptable cost. It improves outcomes.
