Key Concepts

-
Levels of Prevention
This concept refers to the systematic approach in public health that categorizes interventions into different stages—primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary prevention. Each stage targets a different phase in the natural progression of disease, from preventing disease onset to reducing complications and addressing the risks of overtreatment or unnecessary interventions.
Quaternary Prevention
Quaternary prevention is a concept in preventive medicine that focuses on protecting patients from excessive, unnecessary, or potentially harmful medical interventions. It aims to minimize harm by avoiding overmedicalization, ensuring that healthcare practices do not contribute to iatrogenic effects or unnecessary complications.
