Healthy People 2020
Healthy People was a call to action and an attempt to set health goals for the United States for the next 10 years.
Healthy People 2000 established 3 general goals:
Increase the span of healthy life.
Reduce health disparities.
Create access to preventive services for all.
Healthy People 2010 introduced 2 general goals:
Increase quality and years of healthy life.
Eliminate health disparities.
Practical Policy for Preventive Services
The U.S. health care system faces significant challenges that clearly indicate the urgent need for reform.
There is broad evidence that Americans often do not get the care they need even though the United States spends more money per person on health care than any other nation in the world.
Preventive care is underutilized, resulting in higher spending on complex, advanced diseases.
Practical Policy for Preventive Services
Patients with chronic diseases too often do not receive proven and effective treatments such as drug therapies or self management services to help them more effectively manage their conditions.
These problems are exacerbated by a lack of coordination of care for patients with chronic diseases.
Reforming our health care delivery system to improve the quality and value of care is essential to address escalating costs, poor quality, and increasing numbers of Americans without health insurance coverage.
Why policies need to be developed?
Basic needs are not being met (e.g., People are not receiving the health care they need)
People are not being treated fairly (e.g., People with disabilities do not have access to public places)
Resources are distributed unfairly (e.g., Educational services are more limited in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty)
Why policies need to be developed?
Current policies or laws are not enforced or effective (e.g., The current laws on clean water are neither enforced nor effective)
Proposed changes in policies or laws would be harmful (e.g., A plan to eliminate flextime in a large business would reduce parents' ability to be with their children)
Existing or emerging conditions pose a threat to public health, safety, education, or well-being (e.g., New threats from terrorist activity)
