what are the socio medical model benefits in society?
Socio-medical model of health, is when for example a person would go to hospital ill instead of just being prescribed a bottle of antibiotics socio-medical is when they look at social life, environment they live in etc. and then try to improve that for example if the person is obese they would use that as a reason they could be ill and tell them ways to lose weight etc.

biomedical focus only on the medical need of the person like treating only the illness. socio medical looks at both the medical need and the environment and social condition that the person is in ie poor house increase chance of illness

The evaluation or appraisal of a condition is the definition of the word assessment. This term is used in the medical field to describe the evaluation of patients and medical records.
answer
The strengths of the socio-medical model of health are that: Iit looks at the cause of illnesses and tries to change the factors that cause illness. It encourages people to live healthier lifestyles. It aims to remove barriers so that disabled people have the same opportunity as everyone else to determine their own lives.
Medical response, Patient evaluation, Definitive medical care
A. Querido has written: 'The development of socio-medical care in the Netherlands'
The socio-medical model of health care (if this is what you are referring to) is a model of healthcare that not only focuses on the individual, but the environment as well. For example: if a man is at work and falls down the stairs because there is no handrail, the bio-medical model of healthcare(which is the opposite of the socio-medical model) will just focus on his leg and getting him better as soon as possible so he can get back to work wheras the socio-medical model will not only look at his leg but why he fell in the first place. This means that they will note that the environmental factor (the handrail) wasnt their, so they will get in touch with where the man works and tell them to put a handrail on else they would be breaching health and safety laws, and in the future this may not happen again whereas the bio-medical model wouldn't focus on the environental factor and this could happen again which in the long run, could cost more money on hospital rates and sick pay. hope this helps.
