Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Answer is prevention
Rationale : PHI is distinguished from other information systems and technology by its emphasis on prevention in populations (Yasnoff, O'Carroll, Koo, Linkins, & Kilbourne, 2000, p. 67). The focus on population health is linked to prevention as opposed to diagnosis and treatment. Public health has a governmental context as public health nearly always involves linkages to government agencies at the local, regional, national, or global levels.
