Only focusing on individual elements is not enough to reform healthcare. It’s important to point out this framework is called the Triple Aim rather than the Triple Aims, since all three components must be balanced and addressed simultaneously in order to reach the goal. It has since become the overarching goal of optimizing healthcare systems, as well as the driving force behind government healthcare policy and funding. ![]() In 2008 the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) first developed the Triple Aim to optimizing health system performance, including simultaneously improving population health, improving the patient experience of care, and reducing per capita cost. It is organized around the health needs and expectations of people rather than diseases. It requires that people have the education and support they need to make decisions and participate in their own care. The integrated people-centered are is an approach to care that consciously adopts the perspectives of individuals, families and communities, and sees them as participants as well as beneficiaries of trusted health systems that respond to their needs and preferences in humane and holistic ways. With the World Health Organization (WHO) recently calling for a fundamental paradigm shift in the way health services are funded, managed and delivered, the integrated patient-centered care comes up as a reformed care model, to empower patients, fight health system fragmentation and foster greater coordination and collaboration with organizations and providers across care settings, to deliver health services that are aligned with the needs of people. ![]() Evidence shows that health systems oriented around the needs of people and in an integrated way are more effective, efficient, improve health outcome, and are better prepared to respond to health crises. As people across the world have longer lifespans, growing burden of chronic illness are poised to become a major health care challenge, which requires effective strategies to address the problems. The world is in a transition toward significant older populations.
