Proactive Medicine: An Invaluable Concept For Promotion Of Health And Healthcare.

Proactive means acting in anticipation of future needs and before the situation becomes a source of confrontation or crisis. In medical practice it simply refers to an anticipation of what could go wrong and put measures to prevent or avoid it. Proactive medical care is a holistic, structured approach to care, it can influence the way we think, manage and approach medical conditions. It can positively influence the way the medical community looks at and classifies diseases, the way we respond to clinical problems in hospital as well as the way we respond to medical problem as a whole society. The structured thought process and outcome based practice preached by proactive medicine is the way forward in solving some of health care system. Focusing on key process improvements should pave the way toward promotion of health systems.
