Quaternary prevention: theory and practice

13 Oct

All health services have adverse effects, all health services might produce damage to health. A few services produce more benefits than harms in specific situations. Unnecessary and inappropriate services mainly produce harms, and few benefits if any. Quaternary prevention is the prevention of unnecessary and/or inappropriate services and the prevention of over-medicalisation. Quaternary prevention refers mainly to personal services, to clinical care, but collective services is not out of scope. The topic of the 2011 Seminar of Innovation in Primary Care was quaternary prevention. We included the speakers abstracts and the summary of the face-to-face encounter.
