Mid Term By Asmita Neupane University Of the Potomac HLTH110: Online Introduction to Health Services Administration Prof. Dr. Charm Times 03/29/2024 1. Describe the four phases of clinical testing in humans. The Four Phases of Clinical Testing in Humans Clinical testing in humans normally involves four separate phases, each with a unique goal in determining the safety and efficacy of a novel medical intervention. These steps are intended to guarantee that potential therapies are thoroughly evaluated before being released to the general public. Phase 1: Safety The primary goal of phase 1 studies is to evaluate the safety of the experimental treatment on a small sample of healthy volunteers, typically ranging from 20 to 100. Researchers want to know the maximum …show more content…
What is the difference between a'smart' and a'smart'? How do changes in disease incidence and prevalence translate into healthcare utilization patterns? Changes in illness incidence and prevalence have a direct influence on healthcare consumption patterns, influencing all areas of healthcare delivery, resource allocation, and healthcare system design. The increasing need for medical services, diagnostic tests, treatments, and follow-up care that results from an increase in illness incidence also drives up healthcare usage. On the other hand, a decline in the occurrence of an illness might lead to fewer people using healthcare services. The demand for primary care services is one important way that variations in illness incidence and prevalence affect the use of healthcare resources. An increase in primary care visits for the diagnosis, treatment, and condition monitoring of medical disorders is frequently correlated with higher illness incidence. This increase in demand may put pressure on primary care resources, leading to longer appointment wait times and perhaps lower-quality care (Ford, 2020). Additionally, variations in the prevalence of an illness affect the need for specialist healthcare
