PLANNING FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH OUTREACH
Planning for Community health Outreach
The three broad categories that I chose from the leading health Indicators are infant deaths, current use of any tobacco products among adolescents, and maternal deaths. With regard to infant deaths, Healthy People reported that infant deaths were associated with disparities in geographical locations, income, and race/ethnicity1. The policy level objective to be enacted to reduce the rate of infant deaths in the community would be to ensure that public health agencies work together with healthcare providers, other healthcare partners, and communities to address the behavioral and social health factors that affect birth outcomes and contribute to infant mortality - beginning with jurisdictions that have high rates of infant deaths. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that this was likely to increase understanding of infant mortality and thus reduce its rate1.
Like infant deaths, the rate of maternal deaths is also linked to disparities by race/ethnicity and income levels. Therefore, the policy level objective that can be implemented for the rate of maternal deaths would be to improve the medical care quality for women prior, during, and after pregnancy to include maternal mortality surveillance for all reproductive health complications starting with women from developing countries2. This is more so the case given that the said countries tend to have high rates of deaths related to childbirth and other factors related to pregnancy.
The third measurement relates to the use of any tobacco products among adolescents. The CDC observes that a high number of tobacco use began at childhood and adolescent. For this reason, a health policy objective would be use of smoke-free initiatives and advancement of cessation efforts in homes and public places so as to ensure that youths and children do not pick up the habit3.

Community Health Nursing The contribution that a community healthcare unit can make towards enhancing population health and minimizing inequalities is strengthened by international law. Primary healthcare has demonstrated to have an independent impact on improving the status of health within the community. It also affects the reduction of health inequalities and the achievement of improved health outcomes at a relatively low cost and making the healthcare system sustainable. There is substantial

The subject is now part of a national political task force, with the goal of eliminating the problem within one generation (Ferran, 2010). Formally, teen pregnancy is based on a woman who will not reach her 20th birthday by the expected birth of her first child. This definition does not assume marriage, nor if the woman is legally an adult (depending on the country). The idea of marriage and birthing
Another key facet of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is that it has enacted legislature that makes it easier for people with previously existent health care conditions to both get health coverage as well as to get the treatments they need. Again, the result of this aspect of the health care reform measure is that it should make it possible to increase the general wellness of the American
Medical ethics are basically a collection of values, principles and moral judgments in the context of healthcare practice. For instance at the core of these values, is the aspect of autonomy. In this regard, it is realized that a patient is granted the right to accept or refuse treatment which only affects them. Medical practitioners are not therefore supposed to forcefully offer their services or compel patients to accept
