A public health department is collecting data
regarding how many people participate in childhood
vaccination programs every year. This data collection
is part of which public health core science? Select all
that apply.
Informatics
Surveillance
----------------------------------
Public Health Surveillance monitors the impact of control
measures like vaccinations.
Public Health Informatics collects, compiles, and
communicates vaccination information.
Epidemiology determines where diseases originate, the
spread through populations, and possible preventive
measures, but do not monitor vaccine use.
Public Health Laboratories perform tests to confirm
disease diagnoses and conducts research and training.
They do not monitor vaccine usage.
Prevention Effectiveness provides economic information
for decision makers to assist them in selecting the best
solutions when there is a disease outbreak.
Place the four components of the public health
approach in the correct order.
,Surveillance
Risk Factor Identifcation
Plan intervention
Implementation
------------------------------------
The first step is identifying the problem. Informatics are
used by surveillance systems to collect data about a
health event.
The second step is identifying the cause. Informatics
investigate factors, environmental or personal behaviors,
that might make certain populations more susceptible to a
health event.
The third step is looking at possible interventions. Data
from the past help guide proposed interventions.
The fourth step is implementing the intervention. This
takes a lot of collaboration between different agencies and
informatics is key in communication
In what ways do electronic health (eHealth)
technologies promote public health?
Provide consultations to rural clients
_____________________________________________
Electronic health (eHealth) technologies can communicate
through phones, mobile devices, and computers help
clients receive timely consultations, appointments, and
resources especially in remote areas and within vulnerable
populations. eHealth technologies do not provide remote
self-testing, data collection yearly, and prevent all
outbreaks.
A public health system in a remote area needs to
decide about how to educate the public about food
safety. What would be the best informatics to use?
,Analyzing the population's preference on education
_____________________________________________
Data collection, analysis, and dissemination of information
drive quality decision-making in public health systems
across states and territories. However, analyzing how they
would like to be educated would help the public health
system's decision. Data about current food safety
practices, surveying current knowledge, and just
distributing pamphlets will not help decide how to educate
the public.
A public health department examines past disaster
relief data to plan for upcoming hurricane response.
Which part of the public health approach is this?
Intervention evaluation
______________________________________________
__
Intervention evaluation includes examining data from the
past help guide proposed interventions.
Surveillance systems to collect data about a current health
event.
Risk factor identification is where informatics investigate
factors, environmental or personal behaviors, that might
make certain populations more susceptible to a health
event.
Implementation is putting the solution into action.
