Epidemiology - is the science of public health
Population Health - focuses on risk, data, demographics, and outcomes.
Outcomes - is the end result that follows an intervention
aggregate - is a defined population.
community - is composed of multiple aggregates
data - is complied information
Prevalence - measures the existence of a disease. Measures the number of all cases of a disease or
attribute in a population at a given time
Incidence - measures the appearance of a disease. Measures the occurrence of new events in a
population over a period of time.
surveillance - is the collection, analysis, and dissemination of data.
high-risk - is an increased chance of poor health outcome.
Morbidity - is the presence of illness in a population
mortality - is related to the tracking deaths in an aggregate
vital statistics - statistics on live births, deaths, fetal deaths, marriages and divorces.
cases - set of criteria used in making a decision as to whether an individual has a disease or health
event of interest
, Social Justice - the view that everyone deserves equal rights and opportunities —this includes the
right to good health
Inter-professional collaboration - The idea of sharing and implies collective action oriented toward a
common goal, in this case, improving the quality and safety of patient care. It involves responsibility,
accountability, coordination, communication, cooperation, assertiveness, mutual respect, and
autonomy.
Healthy People 2020 - aims to reach four overarching goals: 1.Attain high-quality, longer lives free of
preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death, 2. Achieve health equity, eliminate
disparities, and improve the health of all groups 3.Create social and physical environments that
promote good health for all. 4. Promote quality of life, healthy development, and healthy behaviors
across all life stages.
Determinants of care/health - The range of personal, social, economic, and environmental factors
that influence health status are known ...
risk analysis - the characterization of the potential adverse health effects of human exposures to
environmental hazards
health disparities - the difference in health statuses between various groups (populations).
Sensitivity - measures the proportion of actual positives that are correctly identified as such (e.g., the
percentage of sick people who are correctly identified as having the condition)
Specificity - (also called the true negative rate) measures the proportion of actual negatives that are
correctly identified as such (e.g., the percentage of healthy people who are correctly identified as not
having the condition)
Positive predictive value - is the probability that subjects with a positive screening test truly have the
disease
epidemiological triangle - 1. A traditional model of infectious disease causation, known as the
Epidemiologic Triad is depicted in Figure 2. The triad consists of an external agent, a host and an
environment in which host and agent are brought together, causing the disease to occur in the host.
