Answer 1

• 1) FALSE--because according to WHO health is defined as complete physical,mental and social well being and not merely absence of disease or infirmity
• 2)health outcomes of group of people including distribution of outcomes with in group is called population health.

health care-organised provision of medical care to individuals or a community

medical care--provision of what is necessary for a person's health and wellbeing by a doctor or nurse or any other health care staff

health--health is a state of complete physical,mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity

• 3)TRUE

to improve health care of community managers of health care organisation do many other things apart from providing quality care

--determine budget

--order and receive supplies

--distributes regular communication

--pay rolls and benefits

--conducts meetings--with doctors,patients vendors etc and also community forums

• 4)a health difference that is closely linked with social,economic or environmental disadvantages is HEALTH DISPARITY

health disparity is also defined as difference between groups in health insurance coverage,access to and use of care and quality of care

---determinants of health--range of factors that influence state of individual or population

eg: biological determinants (age,sex etc) social determinants (discrimination) etc

---health outcome: it is a process of examining whether or not interventions are associated with change in patient's health status.this can be directly measured or by using proxy measures.....interventions can be direct or indirect

• 5) In order to have range of services needed to fully care for a person or population,the health care organisation may provide CONTINUUM OF CARE

Continuum of care--concept involving an integrated system of care that guides and tracks patient over time through a comprehensive delivery of health levels spanning all levels of intensity of care

--EHR--it is a systematised collection of patient and population electronically stores health information in a digital format.

--Chronic care--refers to medical care and it addresses pre existing or long term illness as opposed to acute care which is concerned with short term or severe illness in brief duration

--offering diagnostic test alone does not mean to provide full care to the pt

hence in the aspect of meaning itself we can say that continuum of care provides full care to population and patient

• 6)Hospitals are providing continuum of care TO FOCUS ON SPECIALISED INTENSIVE CARE

​​​​​​​first given 3 options---to separate physical and mental health,to readmit patients,to adopt new payment methods do not apply in the purpose of adopting continuum of care

they are designed and specially meant for reducing hospital stay and good progress and hence they started to focus on specialised intensive care so that patients get the best and apt treatment and for their fast recovery

• 7) NO

All health care organisations do not provide health care services

for example Health Information Technologists ( HIT ) handle the technical aspect of managing patient health information

TELEHEALTH--it is a health care organisation but health care services are not provided here.....they use electronic communication technology to facilitate long distance health care and health education

these are all part of health services but not direct services which are applied on patients
