Introduction
The United States healthcare system has been plagued by several issues such as high cost
of health care, disparities in the access and low-quality healthcare especially for the minority and
the vulnerable population. It is for this reason that the Triple Aim Initiative was initiated. The
Triple Aim in healthcare is the “improving the patient experience of care (including quality and
satisfaction), improving the health of populations and reducing the per capita cost of health care”
(Duff, n.d.).
To achieve the Triple Aim Initiative, several recommendations need to be implemented.
The first recommendation is partnering with individuals and families. This will entail creating a
strong relationship with individuals and their families to develop custom health care plans that
work specifically for them. This will avoid generalization in healthcare and ensure that every
individual has a unique plan that works out for them hence leading to higher quality health care.
This leads to the second recommendation of redesigning primary care such that the entire
population is divided into a small number of groups to capture the main differences and the core
needs that will lead to better health care and improve the health of the general populations
(Johnson, 2020).
The third recommendation is increasing the medical coverage of the most vulnerable
populations such as the minorities to tackle the issue of costly health care that hampers them
from seeking medical intervention. The Affordable Healthcare Act (ACA) should be reformed,
and premiums reduced to an affordable level to enable coverage for the low-income earners
(Duff, n.d.). The government should also directly partner with medical service providers to

ensure that the concerns of additional workload and costs placed on health care providers due to
ACA are addressed. This can involve government subsidies to cover the low-cost insurance
premiums to ensure that medical providers do not face any hurdles (Johnson, 2020).
Conclusion
The Triple Aim initiative looks forward to improving the health care system in the United
States and make it among the best. Some of the recommendations that can be used to easily
achieve the Triple Aim includes partnering with individuals and families, redesigning the
primary care, and increasing the medical coverage of the most vulnerable populations.
