Since 1980, the United States has taken on 10-year plans that outline certain key national health objectives set to be accomplished during a 10-year timeframe (Shi & Singh, 2015). These initiatives are founded on medical care with prevention services, health promotion, education, community health care, and increased access to integrated services. The initiative, Healthy People 2010: Healthy People in Healthy Communities, launched in 2000. The initiative emphasizes the role of community partners such as
The health status of the population in the United States is a national priority. The Healthy People 2020 outlines priorities and to improve the health of individuals and communities across the country. Healthy People 2020 is defined as a comprehensive set of national objectives for “improving the health of all Americans” (Healthy People 2020, n.d, para. 1). The Healthy people 2020, is aimed at improving the health of individuals and communities and envisions “a society in which all people live long, healthy lives” (Healthy People 2020, n.d, para 4). A short priority list was developed and contains twenty-six objectives knowns as Leading Health Indicators (LHI). The list of objectives was created to prioritize health issues that must be addressed and to find appropriate actions to take in order to improve the health of the population.
Purpose: Link public health data at state/county levels to the Healthy People 2020 Target rates. Describe the indicator, target data and whether progress has been made towards the goal.
By observing these areas, it is noticeable that the design of the program is in line with five health promotion actions under the Ottawa Charter. The first two working areas intends to “develop personal skills” because it promote the local community members to increase their level of political analysis on their health problems and possible solutions (Laverack & Labonte, 2008a). The third area addresses to “strengthen community action” by empowering the community members to have ownership and control of their own endeavours and destinies (WHO, 2015). The fourth area is to “build healthy public policy” in joint action with the government and local community to achieve the health equity among groups (Laverack & Labonte, 2008a). The fifth area aims to “create supportive environments” by making healthy and easy choices in numerous settings in which people are spending much of their daily activities (Laverack & Labonte, 2008b). The last two areas are in line with the action to “reorient health services” because the program contributes resources for engaging the health workforce and better understanding on the roles of health system to improve population health (Laverack & Labonte, 2008b).
In 2010, Healthy People 2020 was started by the Department of Human Health Services. Health programs and research topics were instituted to help Americans live healthier and longer lives (CDC, 2014). The 42 topics presented are all very important in maintaining the goals set by Healthy People 2020. If these programs were to be cut or budget restraints imposed on them, the impact would be felt by all Americans. There would be more unhealthy people, preventable chronic diseases would be more prevalent, and education and health associated programs would be
In 1987, the Healthy People 2000 report was created. This report implemented a new national prevention strategy with three goals that will, increase life expectancy, reduce health disparities, and increase access to preventive services. The 2000 report also gave health promotion, health prevention, and preventative services that would identify and surveillance activities were identified.
“Program sustainability or survival is increasingly recognized as an important outcome of health programs. Substantial resources are often committed to community-based health programs, yet programs are often short- lived” (Mermelstein, Sporer, Emery & Curry, 2009). For maintaining a viable health promotion program it is very important to understand the different factors that will affect the sustainability of the program. “Planning for sustainability requires, first, a clear understanding of the concept of sustainability and operational indicators that may be used in monitoring sustainability over time. Important categories of indicators include: (1) maintenance of health benefits achieved through an initial program, (2) level of institutionalization
Even though the MAPP strategic planning model has been initiated for utilizing organizational practices within the external communities to help with improving the outcomes for constituents, it serves a very important goal for health care leaders that are concerned about the public’s health issues. Many communities have utilized this strategy based on the health issues that have plagued several communities for several years, thus, the MAPP process have been proven to work within numerous communities. The resources that are available through MAPP are the CDC, NACCHO, and HRSA which are available to provide an assessment to the community and help with initiating a strategic plan that would benefit all that are affected by health issues or concerns.
Jarvis (2012) noted the purpose of Healthy People 2020 and pointed out the determinants of health and health disparities in the creation of a new framework health care delivery that maintain and promote healthy communities.
The CHNA includes a Databook, with primary and secondary data to highlight regional health needs. The Databook compares the county to health targets and supports grant writing. The original document included a list of 250 indicators, including health outcomes and behaviors. I participated in two meetings with the San Joaquin County MAPP Steering Committee, reviewed additional
The Community Health Status Assessment (CHSA) is one phase of MAPP process. It identifies how healthy the residents in Champaign’s County Illinois are, and what is the current health status of the community. CHSA also detects the quality of life of the population within the community (National Association of County & City Health Officials, 2014). From data of this phase of MAPP process, Champaign County Illinois could understand where they are in comparison to the State of Illinois and the nation. CHSA data includes death rates, birth rates, the top-ranked communicable disease in this region, behavioral risk factors, violent and injury crimes rates, and other social determinants may affect the health of the people in the community (National Association of County & City Health Officials, 2014). Definition of health as in this assessment is taken from the World Health Organization; a state of complete mental, physical and social wellbeing and doesn’t mean disease free or disability and the indicators have analyzed here support this philosophy (Carole Community Health Needs Assessments, 2014).
The HealthyCities leadership academy, an initiative launched in 2016 (GE Launches HealthyCities Leadership Academy to Accelerate Population Health in Communities Across America, 2016) aims to improve the health whole populations across the world by directly working with the government and communities. The program’s focus is to increase awareness and educating
In Week 11 we reviewed the government websites, Healthy People 2020 and Rural Healthy People 2020. I had previous knowledge of Healthy People 2020 but not of Rural Healthy People 2020. These websites provide a lot of useful resources that will be very beneficial in future classes as well as in professional practice. I have gone to the websites several times just to explore and learn about all the information contained. I have bookmarked the websites for my personal use and have shared the knowledge of these websites with several
The discussion board post initiated my thoughts regarding health promotion and disease prevention. Health promotion is a process that allows individuals to increase control over and improve health (Pender, Murdaugh, & Parsons, 2011). The United States government developed a program, Healthy People, to guide national health promotion and disease prevention efforts (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015). Healthy people increases public awareness of the determinants of health (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015). Utilizing Nola Pender’s model and healthy people objectives future opportunities for health promotion research and effective interventions for practice are limitless.
Diabetes has a big impact on the overall health of the community. An example of MAP-IT in action is: Mobilize= The County Health Department addressing the needs of the diabetic population by developing and presenting education and training programs. Looking into best practices for diabetes and what actions similar communities have taken to address this problem is the first step. Developing a plan if new approaches are needed is next. Assess=The Public Health Nurse (PHN)
