Editor's Notes
- #4: First, a little history. Many of you may be familiar with the core functions, which were outlined in the 1988 Institute of Medicine report “The Future of Public Health.” As stated in the IOM report, the three core functions of public health are assessment, policy development, and assurance. This is a good start to describing public health, but in 1994, when the country was exploring issues related to healthcare reform, the public health sector felt that a better definition and description of public health was needed. A “Core Functions of Public Health Steering Committee” was convened to address this need. This Steering Committee involved representatives from Public Health Service Agencies (CDC, HRSA, Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, etc.) and key national public health organizations. The committee produced a statement called “Public Health in America.” Public Health in America – Vision and Mission The Public Health In America statement provides a vision and mission for public health as well as the context of what public health should be prepared to do and how public health service is delivered. The vision for public health is broad: “Healthy People in Healthy Communities.” The mission identified is to “Promote Physical and Mental Health and Prevent Disease, Injury, and Disability.”
- #5: The last part of the Public Health in America statement defines the “Essential Services of Public Health.” The 10 essential services are shown here on the screen and include Monitor health status to identify and solve community health problems Diagnose and investigate health problems and health hazards in the community Inform, educate, and empower people about health issues Mobilize community partnerships to identify and solve health problems Develop policies and plans that support individual and community health efforts
- #6: 6. Enforce laws and regulations that protect health and ensure safety 7. Link people to needed personal health services and assure the provision of health care when otherwise unavailable 8. Assure a competent public and personal health care workforce 9. Evaluate effectiveness, accessibility, and quality of personal and population-based health services 10. Research for new insights and innovative solutions to health problems Basically, any public health activity can fit into one of these 10 categories. So, for example, Essential Service #1 includes activities such as data collection, community health assessments, and the maintenance of population health registries. As another example, Essential Service #7 includes personal healthcare services as well as transportation and other enabling services and assuring the availability of culturally appropriate personnel and materials. Since the release of the 10 Essential Services, numerous initiatives have explored the utility and feasibility of these services and have found them to be a good descriptor of public health.
- #7: The Public Health Wheel shows the three core functions (assessment, policy development, and assurance) in black around the “wheel” of essential services. In essence, the essential services can be grouped under the three core functions. Essential services 1 and 2 fit under the core function of assessment. Essential services 3, 4, and 5 fit under policy development while essential services 6, 7, 8, and 9 fit under assurance. Research (essential service 10) and system management form the center of the wheel since these activities are included within all three core functions.
