Question

The Iron Triangle depicts the idea that, in healthcare, as we move towards one side of the triangle, we move towards the other sides as well. For example, high-quality healthcare will likely be very accessible and very affordable.

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

In healthcare, the concept of the Iron Triangle was proposed by William Kissick (1994), who indicated that healthcare policies have to face an important challenge. This challenge describes the complex relationships between three fundamental factors that form part of any health care system: quality, access, and costs. These three factors have the same priority, and the rise of one factor directly influences one or both remaining factors (i.e., we can not simultaneously improve quality, cost and access in a health care system). In consequence, the better association in a health care system is given by high access, high quality, and low costs.
