State Government holds the responsibility for public health across the urban, less urban, and rural areas with varying geographic and economic settings of their citizens. Given the challenges with prioritizing HIV, STDs, and Hepatitis in the state’s vast public healthcare environment, many state’s have found more targeted results through the use of chronic disease management models. These models may require an overhaul of the state/clinic/nonprofit provider funding streams and relationships. Chronic disease modeling has been successful in measuring outcomes that improve health, quality of life, and increase prevention; given the varied nature of healthcare systems’ evolutions, it may be time to assess, plan, and redesign the state’s systems of care.
States are faced with 1) the translation of federal dollars into programs that prevent further spread of disease, 2) ensuring surveillance activities that both capture and allow for opportunities to prevent diseases, and 3) ensuring care and treatment can be accessed and funded. Public health requires political will, leadership, and focus of the state’s resources to achieve the outcomes necessary to improve the public health standing. The stigma and multiply-funded program challenges for sexually transmitted diseases create an environment that at times may make it challenging to locate staff for specific functions.
offers a variety of services to maximize the limited resources within states to achieve outcomes of disease reduction, increase measureable disease outcomes to include biologic measures, psychological measures, and healthcare stability.
