In this report, the authors present a representative case of the implementation of community assessment and the subsequent application of findings by a large, vertically integrated health care system.
Geographic information systems technology was used to access and analyze secondary data for a geographically defined community. Primary data included a community survey and asset maps.
In this case presentation, information has been collected on demographics, prevalent health problems, access to health care, citizens' perceptions, and community assets. The assessment has been used to plan services for a new health center and to engage community members in health promotion interventions.
Geographically focused assessments help target specific community needs and promote community participation. This project provides a practical application for integrating aspects of medicine and public health.
在本报告中,作者介绍了一个由大型垂直整合医疗系统实施社区评估及随后应用评估结果的典型案例。
利用地理信息系统技术获取并分析一个地理区域界定明确的社区的二手数据。原始数据包括社区调查和资产地图。
在本案例展示中,已收集了关于人口统计学、普遍存在的健康问题、医疗服务可及性、居民认知以及社区资产等方面的信息。该评估已被用于规划新健康中心的服务,并促使社区成员参与健康促进干预措施。
以地理区域为重点的评估有助于针对特定社区需求,并促进社区参与。该项目为整合医学与公共卫生的各个方面提供了实际应用。
