Health Review

There already have been many arguments about the possible relationship between individual health andpopulation health, and many studies argue that both of these two terms are identifiable or even are hard to define if therewas no informative contextualization. The opinion of this study is that they have a symbiotic relationship, which causesand influences each other. Furthermore, individual health should be the basement of the population health forever. In thisarticle, there are three challenges facing American public health: uneven distribution of medical resources; risinghealthcare cost; gun violence. The relationship between individual and population health and how to balance them arediscussed and studied in the article.

Objective: The prevalence and economic burden of wounds are growing. Any wound has the potential to become hard-to-heal and require frequent care. Clinicians need to find ways to absorb demand on services without compromising outcomes. Drivers of wound care efficiency—time-to-heal, frequency of dressing change and the incidence of complications—can be evaluated to shape future wound management. A survey of wound care was conducted by clinicians from five centres in Sweden over a one-week period, during which clinicians documented every wound once. At the time of surveying, 49% of wounds were considered to be improving, infection incidence was 11.7% and dressings were changed a mean of 2.2 times per week, with highly exuding wounds changed 6.9 times per week. The data highlighted the importance of diagnosing patient and wound characteristics in selecting treatments and organising care. Recognised gaps in diagnoses potentially identify opportunities to influence healing, complication incidence and intensity of nursing, thus reducing demand on resources. In conclusion, this survey highlights opportunities to reduce the burdens these drivers present. Through improved diagnosis and alignment to recognised care pathways, there is potential to improve patient outcomes and alleviate the strains placed upon wound care providers.
