Community Health Needs Assessment 2013 Health Status of the Community This section of the assessment reviews the health status of Madison County residents. As in the previous section, comparisons are provided with the state of Kentucky and the United States. This in-dept assessment of the mortality and morbidity data, health outcomes, health factors and mental health indicators of Madison County residents that make up the community will enable Saint Joseph Berea to identify priority health issues related to the health status of its residents. Good health can be defined as a state of physical, mental, and social well-being, rather than the absence of disease or infirmity. According to Healthy People 2010, the national health objectives released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, individual health is closely linked to community health. Community health, which includes both the physical and social environment in which individuals live, work and play, is profoundly affected by the collective behaviors, attitudes and beliefs of everyone who lives in the community. Health people are among a community’s most essential resources. Numerous factors have a significant impact on an individual’s health status: lifestyle and behavior, human biology, environmental and socioeconomic conditions, as well as access to adequate and appropriate health care and medical services. Studies by the American Society of Internal Medicine conclude that up to 70 percent of an individual’s health status is directly attributable to personal lifestyle decisions and attitudes. People who do not smoke, who drink in moderation (if at all), use automobile seat belts (car seats for infants and small children)j, maintain a nutritious low-fat, high-fiber diet, reduce excess stress in daily living and exercise regularly have a significantly greater potential of avoiding debilitating diseases, infirmities and premature death. The interrelationship among lifestyle/behavior, personal health attitude and poor health status is gaining recognition and acceptance by both the general public and health care providers. Some examples of lifestyle/behavior and related health care problems include the following: Lifestyle/Behavior Primary Disease Factor Smoking Lung cancer Emphysema Cardiovascular disease Chronic bronchitis Alcohol/Drug Abuse Cirrhosis of liver Malnutrition Motor vehicle crashes Mental illness Unintentional injuries Suicide Poor Nutrition Driving at Excessive Speeds Lack of Exercise Overstressed Obesity Digestive disease Depression Trauma Motor vehicle crashes Cardiovascular disease Depression Mental illness Alcohol/Drug abuse Cardiovascular disease Page 15
Community Health Needs Assessment 2013 Health problems should be examined in terms of morbidity as well as mortality. Morbidity is defined as the incidence of illness or injury and mortality is defined as the incidence of death. However, the law does not require reporting the incidence of a particular disease, except when the public health is potentially endangered. Due to limited morbidity data, this health assessment relies heavily on death and death rate statistics for leading causes in death. Such information provides useful indicators of health status trends and permits an assessment of the impact of changes in health services on a resident population during an established period of time. Community attention and health care resources may then be directed to those areas of greatest impact and concern.
