What is risk management? - Broad collection of activities involved in addressing health or
SAFETY RISKS
Population health indicators:
What are they used for?
When are they collected? - - used to measure health of populations as well as the
PROGRESS made toward creating healthy citizens
- many are collected and collated annually to allow HC professionals to compare data, track
changes, and ID areas of success and improvement
What are population health interventions?
At what levels could they be implemented? - Include POLICY and PROGRAM development
to address factors that influence people's decision making
May be implemented at community, sectoral, or societal levels

creating perpetuating stigmas and other prejudices that affect HCP's assumptions and their
behaviors towards groups, potentially leading to OPPRESSIVE BEHAVIOURS directed toward
those at risk.
