International Nursing Organizations II01:28

International Nursing Organizations II

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva. The WHO has many initiatives that center around health. Primarily, they lead global efforts to expand universal health coverage using science-based policies and programs. They are also responsible for shaping health research agendas and developing norms and standards.
The WHO provides expert team support, including funding, vaccines, testing, and treatment tools at the country level to fight...
Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
Primary Healthcare Services01:30

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...
Stages of Infection01:26

Stages of Infection

Stages of infection describe what happens to a susceptible host once a pathogen invades the human body. The stages of infection are incubation, prodromal, illness, stage of decline, and convalescence. The incubation stage is the period from exposure to a pathogen until symptoms start. The infected person is unaware of impending illness as the pathogens grow and multiply within the body. The duration may vary depending on the type of infection. The incubation period of measles averages ten to...
Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures01:22

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...
Steps in Outbreak Investigation01:18

Steps in Outbreak Investigation

In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Health Equity
  • Public Health Surveillance

Background:

  • Significant advancements in global health have been observed over the last century.
  • However, these health improvements are unevenly distributed, leading to entrenched health inequalities within and between nations.
  • Health gains are fragile and susceptible to disruptions from economic, political, social changes, and civil unrest.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the persistent issue of health inequalities despite overall global health progress.
  • To emphasize the limitations of current health-status measures in accurately tracking health trends.
  • To advocate for the urgent development of improved regional and national health surveillance systems.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a review and analysis of existing global health trends and surveillance limitations.
  • It synthesizes information on the impact of socio-economic and political factors on health equity.
  • It identifies the need for enhanced data collection and analysis for health monitoring.

Main Results:

  • Global health improvements have not benefited all populations equally, exacerbating health disparities.
  • Existing health metrics are insufficient for comprehensive trend analysis, masking complex health issues.
  • The susceptibility of health gains to various societal changes underscores the need for robust monitoring.

Conclusions:

  • Addressing entrenched health inequalities requires a concerted global effort.
  • Enhanced health surveillance systems are critical for understanding and responding to both persistent and novel health threats.
  • Improved data collection and analysis are essential for effective public health interventions and policy-making.
