From Duke Prospective Health Care Club
Prospective health care is intended to address the need to reduce costs and improve patient care in the current health care system, especially with chronic conditions.
Advances in the science behind health care—including the fields genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics—have fueled the development of prospective health care.
However, a discussion of prospective health care would be incomplete without contributions from other fields, including public policy, economics, ethics, and journalism.
The Journal of Prospective Health Care endeavors to raise awareness, promote discussion, and encourage collaboration among students, professors, and professionals from all fields to further the development of prospective health care.
