Recent data show that Americans consume, on average, more than three times the recommended level of sodium per day in their food and beverages. High salt intake contributes to high blood pressure and its complications – stroke, heart attack, congestive heart failure, and kidney failure. In fact, thousands of lives could be saved if sodium consumption were lowered in people with high blood pressure.
Write a briefing document that addresses this problem in the patient population using the medical model that a health care provider might use versus a population health model that might be used by public health officials and/or a population health management partnership.
Stated otherwise, contrast how we might address the treatment of individuals who suffer a consequence associated with a high sodium diet in each model. Define and explain the medical model and the population health model and provide scenarios and resources that would be used to address this problem for each model.
