1. The science of public health; concerned with the study of factors determin-
ing and influencing the frequency and distribution of disease, injury, and other
health-related events and their causes.
Answer> Epidemiology
2. Focuses on risk, data, demographics and outcomes for large groups; focus
of care at aggregate and community levels and examination of environmental,
occupational, cultural, and socioeconomic dimensions of health
Answer> Population Health
3. An end result that follows some kind of healthcare provision, treatment,
or intervention and may describe a patient's condition or health status; out-
comes measurement refers to collecting and analyzing data using prede-
termined outcomes indicators for the purposes of making decisions about
healthcare
Answer> Outcome
4. A group of persons who share one or more traits or characteristics without
necessarily having had any direct social connection. Defined subpopulation
used as the organizing unit for care; can be defined by ethnicity, religion,
geographical location, age, occupation, shared diagnosis, shared risk factor;
most common is the high-risk aggregate.
Ex
,Female doctors (all are female, all are doctors, all are both)
Answer> Aggregate
5. Composed of multiple aggregates
Answer> Community
6. Compiled information
Answer> Data
7. Measures the existence of all current cases within a time frame
Answer> Prevalence (Think
Prev-A-lence = ALL or (P)resence)
8. Measures the appearance of new cases
Think What is "in" is "new"
Answer> Incidence
9. Is the ongoing, systematic collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemi-
nation of health data to help guide public health decision making and action.-
Answer> Surveillance
10. Increased chance of poor health outcome
Answer> High Risk
11. The presence of disease/illness in a population or aggregate
Morbidity = disease
The 2 primary measures are incidence and prevalence.
Answer> Morbidity
weekly updates of reportable diseases can be accessed electronically through the
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) published by the CDC
12. Related to the tracking of deaths within a population or aggregate
, Mortality = deaths
Answer> Mortality
13. The process of altering susceptibility or reducing exposure to susceptible
individuals and includes general health promotion and specific measures
designed to prevent disease prior to a person getting the disease; carried out
during the stage of susceptibility.
Examples
Immunization. Healthy diet. Exercise.
Answer> Primary Prevention
14. Screening and diagnosis of disease. The early detection and prompt treat-
ment of disease at the earliest possible stage; goals are to either identify and
cure a disease at a very early stage or slow its progression to prevent com-
plications and limit disability; carried out during the preclinical or presympto-
matic stage of disease; examples are screening programs designed to detect
specific diseases in their early stages while they are curable and to prevent
or reduce morbidity and mortality related to a later diagnosis of disease.
Examples
Mammogram. Colonoscopy. Imaging (CT, X-ray, MRI).
Answer> Secondary Prevention
15. Consists of interventions aimed to facilitate the rehabilitation of the patient
to the highest level of functioning while addressing the risk factors that could
further result in the deterioration of the
patient's health
Examples
Cardiac or stroke rehabilitation programs.
Answer> Tertiary Prevention
16. Instruments with the goal of reducing and/or preventing morbidity and
mortality.
Answer> Screening Tool
