Question Description
***Comment this***
When the U.S healthcare system was established, the primary goal was to treat diseases. People mainly went to health facilities for treatment or diseases or injuries. However, in the age of chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease, the approach is changing from disease-oriented. Today, prevention of diseases/injuries and promotion and health and wellness is taking priority. For instance, healthcare providers are encouraging patients to avoid cigarette smoking due to the high risk of lung cancer. In a disease-oriented approach, healthcare providers would be more interested in treating lung cancer than promoting preventive measures (Whitney, 2018).
