Book excerpt: "The Nation has lost sight of its public health goals and has allowed the system of public health to fall into 'disarray'," from The Future of Public Health. This startling book contains proposals for ensuring that public health service programs are efficient and effective enough to deal not only with the topics of today, but also with those of tomorrow. In addition, the authors make recommendations for core functions in public health assessment, policy development, and service assurances, and identify the level of government--federal, state, and local--at which these functions would best be handled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Progress and Problems, in Preventive Medicine These important conceptions and discoveries marked the opening of an era unparalleled in the history of the world for steady and substantial progress in every branch of human endeavor. Each generation retells the story of past achievements in its own way. The use of ether for the relief of pain has become one of those twice told tales which it is a pleasure to recall and an honor to relate. The story itself, however, full as it is of human interest and dramatic elements, will not here be repeated, for it seems more to the purpose to consider some of the progress which in no small part was made possible by the introduction of the experimental method as exemplified in the discovery of ether and its application as an anesthetic. A Constructive Program. Formerly hygienic and sanitary measures were based almost solely upon a negative program. This was necessarily so because we had to await the exact observations of Pasteur before the sanitary sciences could be placed upon a sound basis of fact. The old books of hygiene were full of fads and fancies. By the old books I do not mean ancient tomes, but the books which were regarded as authority when I was a medical student. The whole sanitary system was then a vague or confused jumble and an uncertain guide. The system was an assemblage of sanitary dont's. We were told what not to do, in order to avoid infection, or to improve our bodily vigor. When the sanitarian of yesterday did depart from this negative program and ventured to give counsel of a positive character, it turned out to be mostly guesswork and very often wrong. When I was a boy they told me not to catch cold, but they could not tell me what to do in order not to catch cold, and if they did it was mostly poor advice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute of Medicine study Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) recommended that an interdisciplinary summit be held to further reform of health professions education in order to enhance quality and patient safety. Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality is the follow up to that summit, held in June 2002, where 150 participants across disciplines and occupations developed ideas about how to integrate a core set of competencies into health professions education. These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system.

Download or read book Reducing Risks for Mental Disorders written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding of how to reduce risk factors for mental disorders has expanded remarkably as a result of recent scientific advances. This study, mandated by Congress, reviews those advances in the context of current research and provides a targeted definition of prevention and a conceptual framework that emphasizes risk reduction. Highlighting opportunities for and barriers to interventions, the book draws on successful models for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, injuries, and smoking. In addition, it reviews the risk factors associated with Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, alcohol abuse and dependence, depressive disorders, and conduct disorders and evaluates current illustrative prevention programs. The models and examination provide a framework for the design, application, and evaluation of interventions intended to prevent mental disorders and the transfer of knowledge about prevention from research to clinical practice. The book presents a focused research agenda, with recommendations on how to develop effective intervention programs, create a cadre of prevention researchers, and improve coordination among federal agencies.
