Proactive care stratifies at-risk individuals based on known algorithms and ensures that preventive actions are taken to intervene well before the onset of symptoms, let alone illness. This approach has long been recognized as vital to maintaining population health and protecting sick care system resources so they are available only for the most acute needs.
