Which of the following is a Triple Aim?

• A. Improve patient experience; Improve population health; Reduce costs
• B. Improve patient experience; Improve population health; Increase provider compensation
• C. Improve patient safety; Reduce costs; Improve access
• D. Increase patient satisfaction; Reduce costs; Improve outcomes

Answer: (A)

The Triple Aim focuses on three interrelated goals: improving the patient experience of care, improving the health of populations, and reducing the per capita cost of health care. The option that lists these three elements together—improving patient experience; improving population health; reducing costs—fits this framework exactly. The other choices mix in goals like provider compensation, safety, or access, which aren’t part of the three coordinated aims.
