Public Health Law Research: Exploring Law in Public Health Systems
2012Co-Authors: Jennifer K. Ibrahim, Scott Burris, Scott P. HaysAbstract:The importance of law in the organization and operation of Public Health systems has long been a matter of interest to Public Health lawyers and practitioners, but empirical research on law as a factor in Health system performance has been limited in quantity and sophistication. The emergence of Public Health Law Research (PHLR) and Public Health Systems and Services Research (PHSSR) within a coordinated effort to strengthen Public Health research and practice has dramatically changed matters. This paper introduces Public Health law research as an integral part of PHSSR, discusses the challenges of integrating PHLR and PHSSR and highlights two examples of current research that demonstrate the benefits of an integrated approach to improve the use of law in Public Health practice.

Can Public Health performance standards improve the quality of Public Health practice
Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP, 2000Co-Authors: Bernard J. TurnockAbstract:Recent developments suggest that a national Public Health performance standards program could succeed in improving the quality of Public Health practice. Public Health standards also may be useful for enhancing accountability and strengthening the science base of Public Health practice. For national Public Health performance standards to have a substantial influence on the quality of Public Health practice, several important issues must be addressed. These include agreement as to the ultimate purpose and appropriate unit of measurement, delineation of the specific qualities to be measured, and expansion of strategies to promote widespread use of Public Health practice standards.

Building bridges between schools of Public Health and Public Health practice.
American journal of public health, 1994Co-Authors: Arden Handler, Laura A. Schieve, Pamela Ippoliti, Audrey K. Gordon, Bernard J. TurnockAbstract:A 1988 Institute of Medicine report, The Future of Public Health, characterized the current Public Health system as fragmented, particularly with regard to relationships between Public Health agencies and academic institutions. As one response to the report, the Health Resources and Services Administration established the Center for the Development of Public Health Practice at the University of Illinois to advance linkages between schools of Public Health and Public Health agencies. Surveys of schools of Public Health and of state Health agencies were conducted in 1992 to collect baseline data on the practice links between the two. Responses reveal that there is a substantial amount of informal collaboration between them. Formalization of collaborative activities between schools and agencies is beginning to occur and is expected to expand owing to increased focus on Public Health practice at schools of Public Health.

The Role of the Public Health Official in Communicating Public Health Information
American Journal of Public Health, 2007Co-Authors: Enrique Regidor, Luis De La Fuente, Juan L. Gutiérrez-fisac, Salvador De Mateo, Cruz Pascual, José Sánchez-paya, Elena RondaAbstract:The prevailing views on the role of Public Health professionals refer to professionals in the academic world, without taking into account the fact that many Public Health professionals are government employees. For example, the American Public Health Association states that Public Health professionals play an active role in communicating Public Health information to nonscientific audiences, such as the general population or the mass media.We propose that Public Health officials have an important responsibility to promote the practice of Public Health. However, they must do so within the bureaucracy. Any actions that Public Health officials wish to take as advocates of particular Public Health activities should be carried out independent of their role as government officials.

Public Health performance.
American journal of preventive medicine, 2009Co-Authors: F Douglas Scutchfield, Michelyn W Bhandari, Nicole A Lawhorn, Cynthia D Lamberth, Richard C IngramAbstract:This review examines past, current, and future issues in developing and using Public Health performance data for improving the Public Health system. Issues are explored relating to Public Health performance data collection and analysis, and inferences made from those data, largely by examining Public Health performance data collected since the Year 2000. More research is needed to improve understanding of the context in which Public Health systems operate and how that context affects performance and its relationship to Health outcomes. There are major areas of concern that must be addressed by the Public Health practice organizations, governmental Public Health entities, and the Public Health systems research communities, such as ensuring that data are collected on Public Health infrastructure, practice, and performance and that data from various sources are collected in a harmonious fashion. At issue also is the examination of the impact of new arrivals to the Public Health system, such as accreditation and credentialing of the Public Health workforce, on Public Health system performance.
