Primary Healthcare Services

1.9K
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.

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

14.1K
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.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Preventive Healthcare Services

1.8K
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

439
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

3.9K
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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A machine learning model can identify Veterans at high risk for Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias (ADRD). Black American Veterans face a disproportionately higher risk of developing ADRD compared to White American Veterans.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Gerontology
  • Data Science

Background:

  • Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias (ADRD) are underdiagnosed, leading to detrimental outcomes for patients, families, and the VA Health Care System.
  • Underdiagnosis of ADRD exacerbates existing healthcare disparities, disproportionately affecting Black Americans (BAs) compared to White Americans (WAs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a machine learning (ML) model for identifying Veterans at risk of undiagnosed ADRD.
  • To assess the risk of developing dementia in the near future among Veterans using ML-derived risk scores.

Main Methods:

  • A ML model was developed using over 850 variables from structured and unstructured electronic health records of 20,000 BA and 20,000 WA Veterans.
  • Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox-proportional hazards models were utilized to analyze ADRD risk based on race and ML score quintiles.

Main Results:

  • A hazard ratio of 2.20 (95% CI, 1.93-2.51) indicated increased ADRD risk for higher ML scores.
  • Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed steeper ADRD risk curves for BAs in the highest two quintiles and for WAs in the highest quintile.

Conclusions:

  • Elevated ML scores correlate with a higher risk of developing ADRD post-index date.
  • Black American Veterans in the study sample exhibited a higher risk of developing ADRD compared to White American Veterans with similar ML scores.
