What does FAIR mean in HEALTHCARE

Facilitates

The term “facilitate” means to make something easier or less difficult. As it relates to occupational participation, this could refer to resources that support someone getting involved with a certain activity. These could be tangible resources such as educational materials or helpful skillsets that are required for certain jobs; or intangible resources like positive attitudes and support networks within an organization. By helping create an environment where people feel empowered and encouraged to pursue their goals and interests, facilitators can make occupational participation much more accessible.

Allows

The term “allows” refers to activities and processes by which someone is enabled to do something that they were previously unable to do before without a particular permission or privilege granted by another person or institution. This could include processes such as acquiring special licenses or certifications in order to engage in certain occupations; or simply having someone offer up their time and energy to help prepare you for whatever task you may be attempting. Regardless of whether these permissions come from individuals or institutions, allowing others access provides them with opportunities for success they may not have had prior.

Inhibits

In stark contrast from allows, the concept of “inhibiting” implies restrictive factors that hinder someone from engaging in occupations they desire. These factors could range from structural limitations such as boundaries set by demographics (i.e., gender disparity), environmental factors (i.e., inaccessible locations), financial costs associated with entering certain occupations; even societal pressures such as cultural norms for who should participate in specific roles — all discourage potential participants from taking full advantage of the opportunity presented before them.

Restricts

Finally we have “restricts,” which refers both directly and indirectly keeping someone back from pursuing an occupation without any sort of allowance by another party involved. Restrictions stem largely from economic differences between individuals who seek out employment but lack the necessary funds regardless; either due to wage gaps resulting from racism/sexism/ableism/etc., lack of access to key resources such as quality education programs; even government policies designed with only the wealthy accessing them specifically tailored towards benefiting those of higher classes rather than those struggling economically on the bottom end wages—all create a cyclical effect that continues entrapping marginalized groups in poverty while overshadowing their potential capabilities unexplored due unaddressed socio-economic disparities blocking them altogether.
