An individualized care plan involves all health care workers and outlines care to meet the

The acute awareness of preventive medicine has resulted in today‘s emphasis on education

mental health and wellness promotion activities. This preventive education has resulted in an
emphasis on wellness, rather than illness. Improved insurance payments, decentralized care
centers, and increased numbers of health care givers did not influence an emphasis on
wellness.
