- ~USPSTF was convened by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to determine how providers use preventive services and the effectiveness of available interventions.~recognizing that appropriate preventive services can reduce morbidity and mortality from disease and thus potentially reduce expenditures, the USPSTF analyzed three categories of preventive services

- Primary disease prevention is the base of all the types of preventions. It broadly centers on the prevention of disease and injury. The target person for primary disease prevention is the average person who is living without illness. The most common example of primary prevention is through the use of vaccines. We have all received vaccines, whether it was for hepatitis or the flu, they all are categorized as primary disease prevention. Another form of primary disease prevention is seen in individuals with diet restrictions. The American Heart Association has suggested that individuals who have a high risk for coronary disease reduce the amount of sodium in their daily intake. Primary care will be discussed into more detail in Chapter 13.Secondary disease prevention is closely related to the primary disease prevention, however the main difference is that secondary is more disease specific and is aimed at high risk groups. This is directed at asymptomatic people who have already developed risk factors for a disease but in whom the disease itself has not become clinically apparent. An example of secondary disease prevention can be seen if a female who has family history of cervical cancer receives a pap smear. Chapter 14 goes more into depth about secondary care.Tertiary disease prevention is fairly diverse from the previous types of preventions, it is actually practiced on people who have already acquired the disease. The basis for tertiary prevention is to limit the complications and decrease the severity of the disease. It’s the physician’s goal to reach those before it leads to a reliance on drugs or a permanent disability. The use of insulin therapy to help prevent complications with diabetes is an example of tertiary prevention.
- So, who offers all the three different kinds of disease prevention? All of the necessary services are available by means of physicians, physician’s assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, dentists, health clinics, departments of public health and many others. These strategies are being used by employers who provide health insurance. They are interested in changing the focus to promoting their employees to gain a healthy lifestyle, rather than treating illness. They want to keep their employees healthy in order to keep down insurance costs. Therefore, they try to give every member of staff the opportunity to utilize preventive services.Some companies provide a facility to exercise, incentives (paid time off), or they might organize exercise groups.Pictured here are two pictures of the walkstation. The maximum speed reaches only 2mph, so it lets you walk at a comfortable speed and accomplish work all while burning calories. Why these walkstations seem like a good part to promoting a healthy lifestyle, they come with a hefty price tag of over $4,000.
- Preventive services have proven to show accurate results in many studies, however many providers and patients are cynical of the actual outcome and the price which follows. Because most physicians who provide thesepreventive services never follow their patients to determine if they have been positively affected by the intervention, it has caused some doubt when the physician promotes different services. In order to make services more cost-effective, physicians are tweaking component costs, acquiringrisk profiles for patients, and limiting the frequency of interventions.
- In the past, the U.S. healthcare system hasbeen focused on treating andcontrolling disease. So, the idea of switching the focus to protection, prevention, and promotion is quite a challenge. Although most people realize that shifting the focus will eventually been beneficial, it is difficult for themto grasp because results will not be physically evident for long period of time.
- Most Americans receive a fair amount of knowledge of how to be healthy, it is then up to them to take that information and use it. Information is conveyed through media by means of commercials, product packaging, and flyers; word of mouth; and from their physicians.With this in mind, one tends to wonder what context are the choices being made? For instance, evidence has clearly shown that cigarette smoking leads to negative consequences and we have all seen the anti-smoking commercials on TV. However, individual and societal efforts have not changed the decisions of people choosing to partake in the tobacco use. Similar problems can currently be seen in the coalition to stop obesity. The bottom line suggests that the general public has enough material available to them; the concern is how the U.S. Health Services System should apply existing information to attain a healthier change.
- Who should be held accountable for taking action on these functions? Should the individual, physicians, dieticians, government offices, or society as a whole be in charge? The division of the responsibilities is very vague. As in many situations, one group believes that the other group is taking action, when, in fact, they are not. Most people would agree that it is each individual’s responsibility to take control of their wellbeing. However, a dilemma arises when outliers come into play. Competency is a huge factor. If an individual cannot make their own decisions, they should not be held liable for the maintenance their health status. This affects, but is not limited to, people diagnosed with mental disabilities. Another predicament occurs when peer pressure comes to mind. Many people have been in a situation where they feel pressured to partake in activities out of their comfort zone. A person does not start using cocaine, excessively drinking alcohol, or smoking cigarettes with the hope of becoming an addict; they think that they will only use it on occasion to have a good time. However, as a person’s body adjusts to the regular drug use, they do become addicted. These people hit limitations when trying to quit; such symptoms include agitation, fatigue, lack of pleasure, depression, anxiety, irritability, sleepiness, restless behavior, increased appetite, or extreme suspicion (Heller). It is easy to criticize someone from the outside without fully understanding what they are going through. Therefore, it is critical that a person’s competency is taken into account.
- Epidemiologic Transition In the past several decades, the focus of diagnosis and treatment has been directed at communicable and contagious diseases. Technologic advances have allowed for interventions to help control and/or eliminate many of the illnesses. However, the average American’s lifestyle has caused these common communicable diseases to switch to epidemic disorders. A familiar example of the current way of life includes little physical activity combined with a diet high in calories. Heart disease, lung cancer, and diabetes have grown into the more frequent diseases in Americans and some of the most common causes of death (CDC).
- Technologic Advances New research studies are continuously producing results that help promote health and prevent disease. One major advance in medical progression was the mapping of the human genome. The 13 year long study indentified 25,000 genes and 3 billion base pair sequences. By unraveling DNA, the origin of several diseases were discovered. By understanding what part of the genome is affected, it is easier to diagnose and sometimes treat diseases.
- Managed Care Managed care has the opportunity to give immediate results. It can improve health status and quality of life, which in turn fends off more serious disorders. Because the effects of disease prevention can’t be seen for a long length of time, most people dis-enroll out of their health plan before they can take advantage of the benefits.
- Level of InterventionIntervention to promote healthy behavior can be aimed at one of these three tiers. Individual – individual responsibilities mainly consist of choices about diet, exercise, and risky behavior Community – The community as a whole takes duty when there is a major epidemic, such as water contamination or gas leaks. Social – mainly affects individuals through subliminal messages and commercials.
- Insurance Coverage for Preventive Services There are many different kinds of insurance plans; some cover more than others. Generous insurance plans may sometimes cover weight loss interventions, smoking-cessation classes, drug-abuse treatment, and mental illness services. Other basic packages may only contain a few of these services. In the United States, more people have leaned toward basic coverage plans, because they fear they will never use the offered services
