OT425: Knowledge Check for class 4/9

I learned a few things from the lecture on Health Promotion from Prof. Flick. In the lecture Pro. Flick discussed the Triple Aim from the IHI. The goal of the Triple Aim is to better the health care of individuals across the board while reducing the cost per capita. Triple Aim also wants to empower individuals and families by assuring a seamless journey through the healthcare system. Prof. Flick also discussed the three types of intervention which are primary, secondary, and tertiary. Finally I read about social determinants of health on the HealthyPeople.gov website. These determinants can be anything from factors such as public transportation and safety to personal factors such as income and resources.
