Ans: D
Population health is an approach that focuses on interrelated conditions and factors that influence the health of populations over the life course, identifies systematic variations in their patterns of occurrence, and applies the resulting knowledge to develop and implement policies and actions to improve the health and well-being of those populations. A classic premise of community health is that the determinants of population health and particularly of health behaviors are embedded in relationships that tie individuals to their family and friends, their neighborhoods, and their communities. Health care rationing is planning for and implementing an equitable allocation or distribution of available health care resources. Health information system is a combination of vital and health statistical data from multiple sources, used to derive information about the health needs, health resources, and use of health services, and outcomes by the people in a defined region.
