      Population Health strives to create a more equitable world to create capital \"H\" health. This is part of public health 3.0's philosophy, which the Hampton-Peninsula Health District is transitioning to adopt. Public Health 1.0 refers to the period from the late 19th century through much of the 20th century when modern public health became an essential governmental function with specialized federal, state, local, and tribal public health agencies. During this period, public health systematized sanitation, improved food and water safety, expanded our understanding of diseases, developed powerful prevention and treatment tools such as vaccines and antibiotics, and expanded capability in epidemiology and laboratory science.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t

      Public Health 2.0 emerged in the second half of the 20th century and was heavily shaped by the 1988 Institute of Medicine (IOM) IOM report,\u00a0The Future of Public Health<\/em>. In that report, the IOM posited that public health authorities were encumbered by the demands of providing safety-net clinical care and were unprepared to address the rising burden of chronic diseases and new threats such as the HIV\/AIDS epidemic. The focus of public health became preventing chronic diseases and unhealthy lifestyles in order to prevent long-term medical illnesses.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t

      Public Health 3.0 refers to a new era of enhanced and broadened public health practice that goes beyond traditional public department functions and programs. Cross-sectoral collaboration is inherent to the Public Health 3.0 vision. In this approach, local communities are building upon historic success at health improvement, and adding a focus on social and environmental determinants of health to achieve health equity.\u00a0This is done through deliberate cross-collaboration across sectors, especially non-traditional partners.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\n\t<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      \n\t\t\t\t\t\tPopulation Health is built on an understanding of the social determinates of health within the general population. Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks. Assessment of the determinants impact on health and the development of strategies to address those factors that may be causing poor health is the work of Population Health. SDOH can be grouped into 5 domains: Economic Stability, Education Access, Quality Health Care Access, Quality Neighborhood and Built Environment, and Social and Community Context\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

      The CHA-CHIP is an acronym for Community Health Assessment and Improvement Planning.\u00a0It's a community-wide process that involves identifying the most important health factors in a community and developing a plan to improve health.\u00a0The plan is based on the results of a community health assessment (CHA) and is often called a community health improvement plan (CHIP).<\/p>\n

      The CHA is a systematic process that involves collecting and analyzing data to understand health in a community.\u00a0This data can help identify problems and assets, and inform policy formulation, implementation, and evaluation.\u00a0The CHA can also help measure how well a public health system is performing.<\/p>\n

      The CHIP is a long-term effort to address public health problems based on the CHA results.\u00a0It involves developing strategies to address priority issues, bringing together resources and stakeholders, and creating a shared framework for community health.\u00a0The CHIP should ensure that priorities are relevant to the community and that objectives and strategies are S.M.A.R.T.\u00a0.\u00a0Strategies are often carried out by community partners and tracked using an online dashboard.\u00a0The CHIP is typically updated every three to five years.<\/p>\n

      We work with the Peninsula Community Health Collaborative, a network made up of: The Hampton & Peninsula Health Districts, Bon Secours, the Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters, Riverside Health System, and Sentara Healthcare to complete our Community Health Assessment.<\/p>\n

      The Rankings were developed by the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.\u00a0 Within each state, the counties (cities) were ranked on two sets of measures: health outcomes (length and quality of life) and health factors (health behaviors, access to and quality of clinical care, social and economic factors, and the physical environment).\u00a0 The Rankings were developed to increase awareness of the many factors that contribute to the health of communities.\u00a0 The first set of the Rankings was released in February 2010.\u00a0 For more detail on the County Health Rankings visit\u00a0www.countyhealthrankings.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t
