Key Terms

preventive care, chronic condition management, occupational health services, virtual visits

4 terms

preventive care medical

"offers convenient primary and preventive care at the Clarksville, Tenn."

Preventive care are routine medical services—like vaccinations, screenings, checkups and lifestyle counseling—designed to find or stop health problems before they become serious. For investors, preventive care is like regular maintenance on a car: it can reduce future big medical bills, shift demand across insurers, clinics, drugmakers and device makers, and influence long‑term costs and revenue patterns in the healthcare sector.

chronic condition management medical

"acute care for common illnesses and injuries, chronic condition management and select"

Ongoing care, tools and programs designed to help people live with long-term health problems (like diabetes or heart disease), including monitoring, regular treatment, medication management and lifestyle support. For investors, it matters because effective chronic condition management can lower hospital visits and long-term costs—creating steady demand for treatments, devices, software and services and influencing reimbursement, pricing and the predictable revenue potential of healthcare companies, much like regular car maintenance reduces the risk of sudden, costly repairs.

occupational health services medical

"chronic condition management and select occupational health services."

Occupational health services are programs and medical care focused on keeping employees healthy and safe at work, including injury treatment, health screenings, workplace risk assessments, and compliance with safety rules. For investors, these services matter because they can lower medical and insurance costs, reduce time lost to illness or accidents, and help a company meet regulatory requirements—similar to regular maintenance on a fleet that preserves value and reduces unexpected breakdowns.

virtual visits technical

"integrated care experience that combines onsite services with virtual visits, health"

Virtual visits are medical or health consultations conducted remotely using video, phone, or secure messaging instead of in-person clinic appointments. For investors, they matter because they can lower costs, expand patient access, speed appointment volume and create new revenue streams or subscription models for healthcare providers and technology platforms—similar to how online shopping opened new sales channels for retail. Adoption, reimbursement rules and technology reliability drive their financial impact.
