Chapter 3 Flashcards
(21 cards)
A framework developed by William Haddon Jr, MD, as a method to generate ideas about injury prevention that address the host, agent, and environment and their impact in the pre-event, event, and post-event phases of the injury process
Haddon matrix
Collection of the methods, skills, and activities necessary to determine whether a service or program is needed, likely to be used, conducted as planned, and actually helps people
Evaluation
The first national standards established to protect the confidentiality of a patients health info
Health insurance portability and accountability act (HIPAA)
A strategy for carrying out an intervention; includes goals, objectives, activities, evaluation measures, resource assessment, and time line
Implementation plan
Injuries that are purposely inflicted by a person on himself or on another person; including suicide or attempted suicide, homicide, rape, assault, domestic abuse, elder abuse, and child abuse
Intentional injuries
In the context of prevention, specific measures or activities designed to meet a program objective; categories include education/behavior change, enforcement/legislation, engineering/technology, and economic incentives
Interventions
Info necessary for public health and research such as some geographic info, birth dates, and dates of treatment
Limited data set
Deaths caused by injury and disease; usually expressed as a rate, meaning the number of nonfatal injuries in a certain population in a given time period divided by the size of the population
Morbidity
Deaths caused by injury and disease; usually expressed as a rate, meaning the number of deaths in a certain population in a given time period divided by the size of the population
Mortality
State the intended effect of the program on participants or on the community in such terms as the participants increased knowledge, changed behaviors or attitudes, or decreased injury rates
Outcome objectives
Something that offers automatic protection from injury or illness, often without requiring any conscious change of behavior by the person; child resistant bottles and air bags are examples
Passive interventions
Keeping an injury or illness from occurring
Primary prevention
State how a program will be implemented, describing the service to be provided, the nature of the service, and to whom it will be directed
Process objectives
Data that contain the patients name, address, and other specific identifiers
Protected health information (PHI)
An industry whose mission is to prevent disease and promote good health within groups of people
Public health
A potentially hazardous situation that puts people in a position in which they could be harmed
Risk
Characteristics of people, behaviors, or environments that increase the chances of diseas or injury; some examples are alcohol use, poverty, smoking, or gender
Risk factors
Reducing the effects of an injury or illness that has already happened
Secondary prevention
The ongoing systemic collection, analysis, and interpretation of injury data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice
Surveillance
Injuries that occur without intent to harm; some examples are motor vehicle crashes, poisonings, drownings, falls, and most burns
Unintentional injuries
A way of measuring and comparing the overall impact of deaths resulting from different causes, calculated based on a fixed age minus the age at death
Years of potential life lost
