Preventing Healthcare Disparities Together
Apply evidence-based guidelines to the identification and prevention of significant healthcare problems affecting populations at risk.
Evidence-Based Guidelines for Identifying and Preventing Healthcare Problems in At-Risk Populations
Identifying and preventing significant healthcare problems in at-risk populations is essential for improving health outcomes and reducing health disparities. Below are strategies and evidence-based guidelines that can be applied to address these issues effectively.
1. Identify At-Risk Populations
- Definition and Examples: At-risk populations may include low-income individuals, racial and ethnic minorities, the elderly, people with disabilities, and those living in rural areas. Identifying these groups is crucial for tailored interventions.
