HE210 Test 1 Questions And 100% CorrectAnswers
What is Health?? - ANSWER "Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social
well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." It was adopted in 1946
and has not been amended since 1948 (WHO, 1948, p. 100). Many subsequent
definitions have taken an equally broad view of health, including: A state characterized
by anatomical, physiological and psychological integrity; ability to perform personally
valued family, work, and community roles; ability to deal with physical, biological,
psychological and social stress; a feeling of well-being; and freedom from the risk of
disease and untimely death.
Determinants of Health - ANSWER Genetic Inheritance, Physical Environment, Social
Environment, and Health Behavior.
Health Care as a Determinant of Health - ANSWER Primary, tertiary, and secondary
care. PRIMARY is PREVENTING. Health care is concerning with Secondary and Tertiary.
Secondary prevention is concerned with reducing the burden of existing disease after it
has developed; early detection is emphasized. Secondary prevention activities are
intended to identify the existence of disease early so treatments that might not be as
effective when applied later can be of benefit. Tertiary prevention focuses on the
optimum treatment of clinically apparent, clearly identified disease so as to reduce the
incidence of later complications to the greatest possible degree. In cases where
disease has been associated with adverse effects, tertiary prevention involves
rehabilitation and limitation of disability. The health care system is less spent on primary
care.
The Population Served - ANSWER 12.6% was Black or African American, 4.8% was
Asian, and 10.2% was some other race, or two or more races. About 16% of the
population was of Hispanic or Latino origin. As a percentage of total population, every
racial and ethnic group increased between 2000 and 2010 except for non-Hispanic
Whites
There is also a broad range of social classes with large income differentials that are
becoming wider over time Unfortunately, the United States has the greatest disparity
between the rich and poor of all the Western European countries and Japan These
, disparities add to the complexity and fragmentation of the U.S. health care system
through effects such as differential care, payment issues, cost sharing, and access
problems. Age structure also affects the U.S. health care system. The population
forecast for the year 2020 undoubtedly foreshadows major changes on the system, as
the baby boomer generation ages. As a result, health care consumption patterns that
have remained fairly constant over time will move more unevenly in the direction of
elderly care. Physicians will need to spend more time providing services for the elderly,
increasing from 32% of patient care hours in 2000 to 39% in 2020
U.S. Health Care System - ANSWER The five components of health care systems—
facilities, workforce, suppliers of medical products, educational and research
organizations, and financing mechanisms— are organized to provide health services. In
every system, there is some kind of organizational structure that enables the system's
components to interact and function to produce health services for the people. Typically
this requires organizations that function as health care payers, health care providers,
health care policy makers, or some combination of these. These organizations or
entities may be governmental health authorities and other agencies of government with
health care functions (government sector), private, nonprofit health care organizations,
which includes the voluntary health care agencies and professional associations, or
private, for-profit enterprises with health care functions.
Components of the U.S. Health Care System - ANSWER The five main major components
are: Facilities, workforce, training and research, suppliers of medical products, and
financing.
As the physicians have shifted to joining larger organizations, ambulatory care, or care
provided to patients not expected to sleep at an institution, has shifted to standalone
(but hospital-owned) physician practices, ambulatory clinics that are part of hospital
facilities, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC), and community mental health
centers. The other major class of institutions are those housing and caring for patients
in bed, of which the hospital is the most familiar. Acute care hospitals are also the
largest single component of health care expenditures (see Chapter 5). Other inpatient
facilities include hospices, skilled nursing facilities and other nursing facilities, and
intermediate care facilities, including those for the mentally retarded (Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services [CMS], 2015). There are also disease-specific and other
specialty hospitals.Health care and social assistance consists of three subgroups: (a)
hospitals; (b) health services like offices of health practitioners, outpatient care centers,
home health care services, other health care services, nursing care facilities,
residential care facilities; and (c) social assistance like individual and family services,
community food and housing, and emergency services, vocational rehabilitation
services, and child day care services. The health care and social assistance sector
comprises establishments providing health care and social assistance for individuals.
