  • What does population health integrate?

    - public health initiatives

    - health promotion

    - disease prevention

  • What is the difference between population health and public health?

  • What reports were instrumental to the introduction of population health in Canada?

    - The Lalonde Report (1974)

    - Alma-Ata Conference (1978)

  • What agencies in Canada play an important role in formulating the country's population health approach?

    - the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC)

    - the Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR)

    - Statistics Canada

    - the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI)

  • Name the 8 steps for the population health approach.

  • Element ___ and ___ are of particular importance.

  • Describe element 1. Focus on the Health of a Target Population.

    Focuses on the health of a specific of the population or a specific target of the population (subpopulation). A study might be done on the general health of a target population, or it can be more specific, like cancer rates within a geographic area.

  • What following questions can measuring the health status of a population answer?

    - How healthy is a population, and is its health improving?

    - What can be learned about current trends in health status to help plan for future initiatives?

    - What are the most important health issues?

  • What is a health indicator?

    Summary measures designed to provide comparable and actionable information about priority topics related to population health or health system performance. 

  • What method can be used to identify inequities in the health care system?

    Ongoing population surveillance, based on health indicators.

  • Describe element 2. Address the Determinants of Health and Their Findings.

  • What is this describing?

    What is this describing?

    How the new population health organizes population health.

  • Population health promotion policies are made using what 3 evidence sources?

    1. Research studies

    2. Knowledge from experience

    3. Eval. of current programs to anticipate strategies needed for the future (upstream investments)
