Health Literacy01:21

Health Literacy

4.1K
Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

3.4K
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...

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...

Teeth01:15

Teeth

531
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Area of Science:

  • Oral health, encompassing dental and craniofacial structures, is integral to systemic health and overall quality of life.

Background:

  • A historical disconnect exists between dental and medical professions in the US, leading to suboptimal patient care, increased healthcare costs, and widened health disparities.
  • Despite advances in treating systemic infectious diseases, common and preventable oral infectious diseases like dental caries and periodontal disease remain a significant public health concern, often termed 'the silent epidemic'.
  • The impact of untreated oral infections extends beyond the oral cavity, contributing to systemic conditions like hospital-acquired pneumonia and post-operative infections, and affecting academic performance in children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assert that current and emerging scientific knowledge in oral, dental, and craniofacial (ODC) health can guide health policies.
  • To advocate for advancements in health equity, improved access to care, affordability, and optimal healthcare outcomes through integrated ODC health strategies.

Main Methods:

  • This paper presents a critical review and assertion based on existing scientific literature and public health data regarding ODC health.
  • It analyzes the consequences of fragmented healthcare systems and the persistence of oral infectious diseases.

Main Results:

  • The division between dental and medical fields hinders optimal health, promotes fee-for-service models, and exacerbates health inequities.
  • Common oral diseases like caries and periodontal disease represent a significant, yet often overlooked, infectious disease burden with serious systemic implications.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating ODC health knowledge into policy-making is essential for achieving health equity.
  • Recommendations include reforming legal, regulatory, and public health systems to ensure transparent, accessible, and integrated oral healthcare based on scientific evidence for all individuals across the lifespan.
