Concepts of Health and Illness01:29

Concepts of Health and Illness

Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...
Dimensions of Health and Illness01:21

Dimensions of Health and Illness

The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.
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...
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...
Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II01:18

Models 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.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results from...
Integrated Healthcare System01:20

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • One Health is a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to achieving optimal health for humans, animals, plants, and the environment.
  • This concept, rooted in historical medical thought, is increasingly vital for addressing global health issues in an interconnected world.
  • Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, such as West Nile virus, highlight the interconnectedness of human and animal health and the importance of the human-animal interface.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To underscore the significance of the One Health approach in contemporary global health challenges.
  • To illustrate the relevance of One Health principles across diverse scientific domains and academic health center missions.
  • To highlight efforts in integrating One Health principles and breaking down disciplinary barriers.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of the One Health concept.
  • Analysis of historical and contemporary examples of zoonotic disease outbreaks.
  • Examination of the impact of environmental changes on health.
  • Review of academic health center missions and their alignment with One Health.

Main Results:

  • One Health integrates diverse fields like agriculture, environmental science, veterinary medicine, human medicine, and public health.
  • Pathogen transmission between animals and humans, exemplified by West Nile virus, necessitates a unified approach.
