This document discusses health management practices in the United States and strategies for addressing health disparities. It outlines approaches a health educator working for a state public health department could take to prioritize health conditions and concerns. Key data sources are identified, including national statistics from the CDC and reports on trends at the state and local levels. Developing regional systems and structures is suggested to help hospitals in disparately impacted geographic areas address health problems across state borders through collaborations.

Questions
1. What can or should be done when populations are disproportionately unhealthy or
at higher risk for certain health condition
When populations is at a risk of certain health condition, there is need for public
knowledge about health promotion and diseases preventions. The success of health
maintenance and disease prevention depends on many factors. One is an informed
and knowledgeable public, which in turn depends on widespread dissemination of
the known benefits and harmful effects to health and well-being of particular
behaviors. Also willingness on part of individuals to change their habits and attitude
is necessary. Thus more information is needed about techniques and strategies that
are likely to be effective in inducing and maintaining behavior among the entire
population (Russell,1987).
The Bureau of Health Professions should collect information on health care
personnel (professionals and support staff such as nurse`s aides) who focus on
health promotion and disease prevention activities and services to the general public
in a variety of medical and non-medical, and institutional and non-institutional
settings.
Finally is by improving our residents` health and reducing disparities by;
Setting priorities among disparities to be addressed at the federal, state,
tribal and local level
Articulate valid reasons to expend resources to reduce and ultimately
eliminate priority disparities.
2. You are a health educator working for the state Department of PublicHealth. How
do you prioritize on what health conditions or concerns yourdepartments focus?
As an health educator, I will focus my full attention on health care reforms in the
United States in order to overlook the importance of public health principles and the
role of public health agencies in maintaining and improving health standards.
I will urged society to create and maintain the conditions under which members of
the community can be healthy. This is due to the fact that the responsibility for
maintaining and improving the public`s health lies with all sectors of society.
Furthermore, to enhance and keep public health, I will incorporate preventive
programmes and activities. The primary providers of public health services are the
government health agencies. These agencies in communities throughout United
States are responsible for protecting, accessing and assuring individual, community
and environmental health. These agencies build partnership and often provide direct
services to ensure that there is access to adequate health service in a community.
Others roles of public health agencies include:
Monitoring health hazards, including newly emerging diseases.
Creation of standards of protection.
2. Allowing scientific advancement in protecting the public health through the
health research based institutions.
Developing public policies, plan improvements and implements new
inventions.
3. What data sources will you rely on?
The most appropriate data sources I will employ are;
Metasites
National statistics
State, Country and Metropolitan Level Statistics
International statistics
Metasites
Center for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC): Data and Statistics documents
collection, such as CDC prevention guidelines are presented in topic list or table of contents
Statistical databases and document databases are presented in a series of “fill in the
blanks”
Health Data Tools and Statistics which partners in information access to the public health
workforce
National statistics
Health United States, an annual reports on trends in health statistics. The report consists of
two main sections: A chart book containing text and figures that illustrate major trends in
the health of Americans and a trend table section on that contained detailed data tables.
State, Country and Metropolitan Level Statistics
Community Health Reports; Minnesota Health Report. These reports are the results of
collaborative design efforts between local public health, the Minnesota Department of
Health (MDH) and the Minnesota Hospital Association (MHA) to provide information that is
useful and can be compared to reports by the MDH
4. How do you help hospitals in geographic region address this health disparities?
Hospitals in Eastern Virginia, lower Mississppi and West Central Appalachia should develop
regional systemand structures in order to cope with health problems across state borders.
They include the health care development of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the
Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) as well as work in the lower Mississppi Delta.
3. The ARC should remain active in this field and supports work that illustrates disparities in
health status and access through the university of Kentucky (www.mc.uky.edu/rural
health/ARC-AHPAC/ahpac.htm)
There is need of regional initiative in the Mississippi Delta through various organizations and
governments. The Health Resource and Services Administrations (HRSA) announce a
programme to improve health care by supporting rural hospitals in Delta region in late 2001.
