Health care and medicine can be classified into many different categories for many different reasons. The distinctions between the categories come from the differences between primary, secondary and tertiary cares.

different specifying criteria. One of the classifications is a distinction on 
the basis of preventative and curative care: primary, secondary and tertiary 
cares. Primary care occurs when lifestyle modification behaviors are taught and 
encouraged in order to maintain a state of good health before disease occurs. 
Secondary care is provided after a disease has occurred, with a view to prevent 
progression into a disability. Tertiary prevention occurs after a disability has 
occurred, to improve function through rehabilitation.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4C0FB43E-7F13-4683-AAD3-C16E0B4D19C1/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
