Annual Review of Public Health
|January 15, 2010
Summary
Progress on Healthy People 2010 goals shows some gains but significant work remains. The Leading Health Indicators (LHI) reveal ongoing challenges in increasing healthy life years and eliminating health disparities.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Health Policy
- Health Disparities Research
Background:
- Healthy People 2010 established national health improvement goals.
- It built upon decades of previous public health initiatives.
- Key goals include increasing quality/years of healthy life and eliminating health disparities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate progress toward the Healthy People 2010 agenda.
- To analyze changes in Leading Health Indicator (LHI) measures.
- To assess progress on overall objectives and health disparities.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of changes in objective values for 31 key measures.
- Evaluation of progress toward specific Healthy People 2010 targets.
- Examination of trends in health disparities.
Main Results:
- Some progress has been observed across Healthy People 2010 objectives.
- Advancement toward overarching goals remains insufficient.
- Significant disparities in health outcomes persist.
Conclusions:
- Continued effort is required to meet Healthy People 2010 targets.
- Addressing health disparities remains a critical challenge.
- Substantial work is still needed to achieve national health goals.

01:30Primary 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.

01:26Methods 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...

01:26Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.

01:18Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

01:25Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.

01:18Introduction To Health Care Delivery System
The healthcare system is constantly changing and complex. Various services are available from different healthcare providers, but gaining access to these services has become challenging for people with limited healthcare insurance. Uninsured people present a challenge to healthcare because they frequently postpone or forego treatment.
