Why does the aging of the American population pose the need for more healthcare in this country? If the physicians the medical office manager works with asked him to design a program to educate patients about preventive medicine, do you think this
would help decrease the need for more acute care?
As a population ages, the need for healthcare increases because people tend to need healthcare services more frequently as they get older. A program designed to educate patients about preventive medicine would likely decrease the need for more acute care. This is because preventive medicine tends to decrease the likelihood that a patient will develop acute care needs.
