Answer 2

Explanation:

The World Health Organisation (WHO) in 1948 defined health as a "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well being not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" [8]. While this definition is comprehensive (though rather utopian and ambitious) it clearly indicates what should be the goal of health care intervention. Medical professionals however tend to focus more narrowly on a medical model of health care -a history and examination- followed by investigation and treatment, and finally clinical measures of successful outcome. This approach has been criticised for producing a paternalistic doctor-patient relationship. The relative success of a given health care intervention may differ significantly from a patient perspective vis-à-vis the health care provider's perspective. When this occurs we may ask ourselves; Has a health need been met? Was the care process satisfactory? Has the burden of disease on the patient's quality of life been minimised?

This traditional approach to patient assessment, using clinical and laboratory evaluation, is largely based on observer ratings by health professionals. In the 'medical model', there is an optimal level of functioning and everybody below this could be assumed to suffer ill health. However if these cases are examined carefully, physically-disabled individuals could be found with better quality of life than individuals with optimal functioning, as quality of life refers to a broader concept of health than has traditionally been defined. Modern medicine is slowly beginning to recognise the importance of the perspective of the patient in health care and more investigations are needed to understand the importance of the inter-relationships among health needs, satisfaction, and quality of life.
