Public Health Preparedness Capabilities

Introduction

Public health is the science and practice of protecting and improving the health of a community. In the early nineteenth century, life expectancy in the healthiest countries was slightly higher than forty years, while the un-healthiest countries' life expectancy was in the low twenties. The routes and stages of evacuation and resettlement areas, the timely provision of emergency medical care affected patients their evacuation and treatment in order to reduce the incidence of mortality, disability and rehabilitation (Turnock, pp. 261-263.).

Analysis of Public Health Preparedness Capabilities

Improvement was noted in disease detection, investigation and laboratory response

This paper describes the framework adopted by CDC and its various components, most of which were developed in collaboration with expert advisory groups, international agencies and provincial and territorial partners, in the order to protect the health of Americans. Many of the specific and detailed measures are chiefly the SARS coronavirus, but they are also applicable to a variety of respiratory infections, and public health workers are well aware. The tools described in the document are not all new, but many of them have been revised in light of the SARS experience and allow us to be ready to cope with the respiratory season ahead.

In addition, the health regulations that are in place are also important to take into account. There are several schools of thought when it comes to a Public Health Program evaluation. Epidemiologists, economists and administrative and public health officials have set different criterion in order to gauge the efficiency of a Public Health Program.

Evaluating a Public Health Program is a task of a sensitive nature due to the social, political and environmental strings attached to it. It is, however, imperative that such a program be evaluated in order to avoid the negative aspects related to it and at the same time, ensure the smooth and efficient flow of the entire process.

CDC report, Public Health Preparedness

Mobilizing State of the State, presents data that illustrate the progress state health departments have made in disease detection and investigation capabilities of laboratory tests, as well as the planning, implementation, and emergency response in health care. Major improvements in the report include:

Disease detection and investigation. All state public health departments are now able to receive urgent disease reports 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Medical Laboratory. The number of laboratories that can test ...
