Health information systems (HIS) allow for the optimization of healthcare information acquisition, storage, retrieval, and usage. Key advantages of HIS include centralized data access across locations, increased efficiency through easy access to patient records and test results, improved security and confidentiality of patient data, increased storage capabilities, and improved accuracy through automated flagging of abnormal test results. However, HIS implementation presents disadvantages as well, most notably very high upfront and ongoing costs. Learning new systems also presents a learning curve challenge for some. On balance, the advantages of data access, efficiency, and patient care improvements provided by HIS are worth the costs.

"Mental Health and Well-Being in a Prolonged Crisis,"
presented by Rebecca Caldwell and April Scott, Student Health Services
School-Based Health Center Innovations: Looking Ahead to the Future of School...CHC Connecticut
This document summarizes a session on the future of school-based health centers and their role in school re-entry during COVID-19. It discusses strategies for planning school re-entry, the importance of partnerships between schools and health centers, and the services health centers can provide to support re-entry efforts, such as testing, tracking cases, providing medical supplies, and addressing student mental health needs. Considerations are provided for how health centers can adapt operations, implement infection control, screen students, and collaborate with schools during the reopening process. Resources for school health programs in planning for re-entry are also shared.
1. What are your personal thoughts on the use of electronics by lauvicuna8dw
1. What are your personal thoughts on the use of electronics by children in and out of the classroom? At what ages do you find electronic use most appropriate? What advice would you give parents regarding the appropriate amount of time for electronic use?
2. If you suspected that a student was not receiving proper nutrition at home, what actions might you take? Be specific.
3. In this benchmark assignment, you will be planning a Wellness Fair for the students and families of your kindergarten class. The Wellness Fair will incorporate the mini-lesson plans you previously created in this course. You will also create a digital invitation to the Wellness Fair.
Part 1: Mini-Lessons Rationale
In preparation for the Wellness Fair, review the health, nutrition, safety, and fitness mini-lessons you designed throughout the course.
In 250-500 words, write a rationale explaining your instructional decisions for each wellness lesson. Make sure to include how those decisions directly support the characteristics and needs of the “Class Profile” students.
Part 2: Wellness Fair Event Plan
Health, safety, nutrition, and fitness are topics you have been teaching to your kindergarten students through your mini-lessons; however, it is also beneficial to educate the families on the same topics. Therefore, your goal in this section is to design a wellness fair to educate the families on these topics so they can support their children at home more successfully.
In order for the fair to be effective, you will need community support to assist in providing educational booths in the areas of health, nutrition, safety, and fitness. For this part of the assignment, you will create a 1,000-1,250 word plan outlining the wellness fair for your students’ families, including how you will involve the community.
Include the following in your plan:
· Agenda: Outline the timing for each activity during the event in a simple agenda format.
· Welcome: Briefly describe how you will introduce the event to all participants.
· Opening Activity: Plan an opening activity for the families and children that will explain the purpose of the wellness event with the community and promote shared values and expectations in creating a healthy, respectful, and challenging learning environment.
· Community Resource Booths: Outline four community resource booths that will provide information on health, safety, nutrition, and fitness (one booth per topic). Include a community resource you will invite to represent the topic, 3-4 interesting and important statistics relating to the booth’s topic and young children, and a 50-100 word description of why that topic is important to the development of young children. Briefly describe how each booth will address the needs of children in the class both with and without exceptionalities, based on the “Class Profile.”
· Closing Activity: Plan a closing activity for the families and children that employs strategies and opportunities to ensure fut ...

This document provides the syllabus for a Health and Wellness course at Salem State University. The course will be taught by Dr. Brian Witkov on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7:50-8:50am or 8:50-9:50am in room 214 of the O'Keefe building. Students will use the textbook "Your Health Today" and be assessed based on attendance, in-class activities, pop quizzes, homework, and three tests. The course aims to help students develop critical thinking around wellness, integrate multiple dimensions of wellness into their lives, and empower positive health behaviors. Reasonable accommodations will be provided for students with disabilities.
1. The elderly population is growing significantly due to increased life expectancy and the aging of the baby boom generation. Elders now represent 12.8% of the total US population.
2. Elders face challenges related to health, income, housing, transportation and accessing community services. While health has improved, most elders have multiple chronic conditions and disabilities that increase with age.
3. The aging of the population will strain health care services and increase the economic burden on working populations. It will also shift the geographic distribution and diversity of the elderly population in the US.
This document provides an overview of maternal, infant, and child health topics including key statistics, health risks and disparities, programs and policies that impact outcomes. It discusses factors influencing health from pre-pregnancy through adolescence and the importance of family characteristics. Community programs aim to improve access to care, education and support to enhance health across this lifespan.
This document discusses injuries as a major community health problem, including both unintentional and intentional injuries. It provides statistics on the costs and burden of injuries in the US. The main causes of unintentional injury deaths are motor vehicle crashes, falls, and poisonings. Intentional injuries include violence and self-harm. Prevention strategies aim to reduce risks through education, regulation, environmental modifications, and other approaches. Overall the document presents injuries as an important public health issue and outlines key epidemiological factors and prevention tactics.
Around 1 in 4 American adults have a diagnosable mental illness each year, causing significant disability, and community mental health centers aim to provide treatment and support outside of institutions. Rates of mental illness are high among youth and associated with issues like substance abuse and violence. Throughout history, approaches to mental health care have shifted between institutionalization and deinstitutionalization in communities.
Here are some key discussion questions this chapter raises:
- Racial and ethnic classifications have changed to better reflect the diversity of the U.S. population over time as understanding of these social constructs evolves. How can data collection continue improving to support equitable health outcomes?
- What cultural factors most influence health behaviors and outcomes in different minority groups? How can health programs be designed to address each group's unique needs and beliefs?
- Socioeconomic disparities like poverty, education and income strongly influence health, but do not fully explain differences. What other historical, political and social determinants must be addressed?
- Empowering minority communities requires access to decision-making power. How can health programs foster social networks,
The document discusses the scope of drug abuse problems in communities, factors that contribute to drug abuse, different types of drugs and their effects, prevention and control efforts at various governmental levels, and spending on drug control programs. It also covers definitions, legal and illegal drugs, prevention strategies like education and treatment, and agencies involved in drug prevention efforts.
This document discusses health issues for three age groups: adolescents and young adults (ages 15-24), adults (ages 25-64), and the elderly (ages 65 and over). For adolescents and young adults, risky health behaviors like unintentional injuries, violence, substance abuse and unsafe sex are major causes of mortality and morbidity. Community health strategies aim to address social and cultural influences on behaviors in this age group. Adults experience most chronic diseases associated with unhealthy lifestyles earlier in life. Community efforts focus on prevention, screening and management of conditions like cancer, heart disease and obesity.
The document discusses several theories about boys' development and gender treatment, including male separation trauma, boys dominating classrooms which can lag girls' development, and boys being raised with problematic ideals and alienation. It also notes studies showing issues like absent childhood models, maternal separation, inherent isolation, and dysfunctional rearing that boys face. Some potential solutions discussed include promoting positive male heroes, offering male-only classes, emphasizing activities, and less demonization of males. Overall, the document analyzes research on challenges boys face and potential ways to address issues like depression, underachievement, and emotional disorders.
Over the last century, significant progress has been made in public health and increasing life expectancy. Community health involves both individual actions and organized community efforts to promote health. The factors that influence community health include physical, social, cultural, and economic factors. Community organizing brings people together to identify common goals and implement strategies. Both personal health behaviors and herd immunity play roles in community health. Looking to the past can help communities better plan for the future. Current goals aim to attain high quality, longer lives for all through health equity, healthy environments, and healthy behaviors across all stages of life.
There are many types of organizations that help shape community health. These include governmental agencies like the World Health Organization (WHO) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Nongovernmental organizations also play a role, such as voluntary health agencies, professional associations, philanthropic foundations, and social/service/religious groups. Each organization aims to promote health through activities like education, advocacy, research funding, and direct service provision.
The document discusses the components of a Coordinated School Health Program (CSHP) which aims to promote student and staff health and well-being. A CSHP includes administration, health services, education, environment, and family involvement components. It is overseen by a school health council comprising community stakeholders. The school nurse and teachers play important roles in implementing the program. Challenges to effective CSHP implementation include lack of funding, curriculum controversies, and addressing issues like violence and access to healthcare on school grounds.
This document discusses disease classification and prevention and control strategies. It describes communicable diseases as being caused by biological agents and transmitted between individuals, while noncommunicable diseases have complex, multifactorial causes. The chain of infection model outlines the steps by which a communicable disease is transmitted. Prevention strategies target various levels - primary prevention prevents disease, secondary prevention detects and treats early, and tertiary prevention focuses on rehabilitation. Both individuals and communities play important roles in prevention efforts.
Epidemiology is the study of disease, injury, and death in populations. It involves collecting information about who is sick, when they became sick, where they live, and using this data to prevent disease outbreaks. Rates such as incidence, prevalence, and attack rates allow comparisons of outbreaks over time and between places. Sources of standardized health data include vital statistics, national health surveys, and epidemiological studies which can be descriptive to describe epidemics or analytic to test hypotheses.
There are many types of organizations that help shape community health. These include governmental agencies like the World Health Organization (WHO) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Nongovernmental organizations also play a role, such as voluntary health groups, professional associations, philanthropic foundations, and social/religious organizations. Together these different organizations work to promote health, fund research, provide education and services, and advocate for health issues.
Community organizing aims to empower communities to work together to address health and social issues. It involves identifying common problems, mobilizing resources, and developing strategies to achieve collectively set goals. Successful community organizing assumes that community members themselves are best positioned to create solutions and that participation and consensus-building are key. The process generally begins with a community member recognizing an issue and deciding to address it. Organizers then work to understand community perspectives and build a coalition to prioritize the issue and develop an intervention strategy. Evaluation ensures the program achieves its intended outcomes and benefits the community.
The document discusses the health effects of moderate alcohol consumption versus higher risk drinking. It notes that moderate drinking of 1-2 drinks per day is associated with reduced risks of cardiovascular disease, based on a J-shaped mortality curve. However, drinking more than 3 drinks per day or binge drinking increases risks of health issues like high blood pressure, cancers, and injuries. It provides definitions for terms like alcohol abuse, problem drinking, dependence, and alcoholism.

9. Health
Promotion
Program
Project
Project Overview: Based on the number of students in class, groups will be formed to
collaborate and create a health promotion program for a specific population. The program
will be presented to the class in a series of Power Points based on the stage of program
development to the class as if they were the community in which you were planning to
run the program for. Discussions of population demographics, needs assessments,
preparation and planning, implementation, and evaluation will be discussed. Students will
be provided ample opportunity during class to work with their groups on this project.
Key Points of Discussion: These must be addressed to receive full credit
1. The Mission Statement: The general idea or main purpose
2. Data Collection and Organization assessment (Internal & External
Assessment): Does anyone care and can it be done – appropriate resources
3. Goals and Objectives: Define your goals and objectives
4. Needs Assessment & Analysis: Who’s the target, what are your resources,
create, administer and analyze the assessment
5. Determining and Setting Priorities: What are the gaps in existing services and
what are the needs not begin met
6. Preparing To Begin The Program: Step by step activities - what needs to get
done first (pilot program?)
7. Developing a Timeline: when things need to be done
8. Implement the Program: final preparation, marketing, community education –
is everything in place
9. Evaluation and Feedback: are objectives being met, are the activities effective,
timelines being met, regular evaluation
