the expanded chronic care model
The Expanded Chronic Care Model (ECCM) builds on the original
Chronic Care Model by recognizing that managing chronic illness isn't
just about healthcare services—it's also shaped by social, community,
and population health factors.
Epidemiology
Is the study of the distribution of factors that determine health-related
states in a population.
Offers ways to control health problems.
Branch of medical science concerned with the incidence, distribution,
and control of diseases that affect large numbers of people.
,diffrence between a population, community and aggregate?
Population- a large group of people that share certain characteristics
(demographics, age, health status)
A community - share a relationship or cultural or faith based group (key
focus- shared relationships, collective action)
Aggregate- subpopulation (ex. BCIT students)
Capacity building
Capacity building→ building capacity for older adults to build their own
health
there was a large outbreak and now many people are sick and in their
homes taking precautionary measures and therefore the incidence rate
is lower because of less social interaction and contact.
,• What are the two types of epidemiology?
Descriptive epidemiology- examines health outcomes in terms of what,
who, where, and when. It asks questions such as, What is the disease?
Who is affected? Where are they? When do these events occur? Thus,
descriptive epidemiology discusses a disease in terms of person, place,
and time.
associated determinants of health (see Chapter 1). It asks questions such
as, How does the disease occur? Why are some people affected more
than others? Determinants of health may be individual, relational, social,
communal, or environmental.
incidence rate
number of people contracting a disease during a time period (new
cases)
Prevalence Rate
Total number of people infected at one time in a population, regardless
of when the disease began.
Morbidity rate
number of people affected in relation to the total population in a given
time period
, mortality rate (death rate)
the number of deaths per thousand people
epideiology in terms
Risk is the chance or likelihood that something will harm or otherwise
affect one's health.
Epidemiological process:
Epidemiological process: research process to help investigate a health
pattern
Step 1: define the health pattern and explore current statistics to health
pattern
Health patterns can be an outbreak, injuries, accidents or even wellness.
Step 2: Using epidemiological methods to describe the
distribution→who, what, where when of a disease (morality rate,
morbidity, incidence rate)
Step 3: Searching for factors that explain the pattern or risk of
occurrence
Step 4: determining what has influenced the occurrence of a particular
disease or why and how events occurred as they did (low disease rates
because of vaccinations)
