Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. The health-for-all concept was further developed in the World Health Organization's (WHO) Global Strategies for Health for All by the Year 2000, published in 1981, and the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, developed at the First International Conference on Health Promotion in 1986. Both focused on social, economic, and political reform and empowerment as strategies for improving the health of the world's populations. The Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) created a mechanism to categorize nursing services. Prospective payment of services was the feature of DRGs. The Future of Public Health by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) focused on assessment, policy formation, and assurance as key indicators.
