Although all three pillars of the Triple Aim framework are crucial, given my experience as a manager in the healthcare industry, I believe that improving people's health is the most significant factor to take into account to achieve the goal of optimizing the delivery of healthcare. Because of this, efforts to improve population health have a long-term effect. When the population's health is prioritized, underlying causes of illness and disease may be treated, which will ultimately lead to better long-term health outcomes. If we implement preventative measures, promote healthy lifestyles, and address socioeconomic issues, we may reduce the burden of chronic illnesses and the need for expensive therapies. The simple statement, "Preventive Care Reduces Costs," is true. The majority of costs connected with providing medical care go toward treating preventable diseases and issues brought on by a lack of early intervention. When we put greater emphasis on a community's overall health, we may shift our focus to preventative care, which is frequently more affordable than treating advanced sickness. This makes it possible to more efficiently use resources while lowering the overall cost of healthcare. The entire experience of the patient is enhanced by their increased health: Although the patient's experience is an essential part of providing healthcare, it is closely related to the individual's state of the patient's overall experience with the healthcare system is improved as a result of their better health results. They are more likely to have a greater quality of life overall, require fewer hospital stays, and experience less discomfort from chronic illnesses. Patients in a healthy population are more satisfied with their medical care, which fosters closer ties between patients and healthcare professionals. "Value-Based Care Is Supported by Population Health Management" The shift to value-based care models places more emphasis on patient care quality than it does on the quantity of services provided. Since healthier populations require fewer medical treatments and hospital stays, improving population health is a strategy that works well with this model and leads to better cost management and improved patient experiences. To close current health gaps: Focusing on population health helps us better address the health inequalities that impact certain demographic groups. If we focus our efforts and resources on groups that aren't receiving enough treatment, we might be able to reduce gaps in healthcare access and outcomes. The path to achieving healthcare delivery efficiency is to make the population's health better. Even though the Triple Aim's three pillars are connected and essential, this is the case. By prioritizing preventative measures, tackling social and economic factors of health, and promoting healthy lives, we may create a healthcare system that is stronger, more effective, and fair. Both the individual and the greater good of society will gain from this.
The triple aim framework in healthcare is seen every day in my current career. From my perspective, I find that reducing costs is the most important in achieving these goals. Many patients are taken aback by the cost of certain procedures recommended to them, pushing them away from the care they need. In order to improve the other aspects of the triple aim framework this one needs to be addressed more aggressively. I believe that patient experience will only improve when cost for healthcare is regulated to accommodate everyone. This then improves care for the entire population. It will allow providers to understand more of a variety of backgrounds.
