Answer:

baseline, endemic (possibly hyperendemic) are all references to a constant number of infections

Explanation:

<em>What term describes a </em><em>constant number of infections in a region?</em>

Now, there are a few terms we could use for this.

Sometimes, it may be referred to as a baseline (because that's the level its typically at--the "constant" number)

Baseline also can be called "endemic" (the constant presence)

The -endemic really just means persistent, so "hyperendemic" is a persistent high-level, which could be the baseline for that region

epidemic/cluster/outbreak/pandemic are all when we variate strongly from the baseline/expected number of infections

hope this helps! have a lovely day :)

What do you view as important issues within healthcare<br> delivery?

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The answer to the question: What do you view as important issues within healthcare delivery, would be: the availability of more and better resources to ensure that all patients are treated with efficiency and effectiveness, depending on their individual needs, and the possibility to have more, and better-prepared office staff, like secretaries and receptionists, so that healthcare providers can focus entirely on patient care, and not on the mountains of paperwork, phone calls and documentation that insurance companies require to authorize a simple procedure that would improve a patient´s life.

Explanation:

Although there are a lot more issues that need to be addressed regarding patient care delivery, these two have proven to become real obstacles. First, although some hospitals and clinics are blessed with resources, this is not always the case, especially for public hospitals. The result of this is that patients at public hospitals are not always given the best care that could be given to them due to lack of resources and this lowers the efficiency of healthcare. The second issue is that healthcare professionals are becoming encumbered more and more with the amount of paperwork and documentation that is demanded by insurance companies simply to authorize the payment of a procedure. This also limits the effectiveness of treatment, as healthcare professionals do not have access to all the resources that are available to ensure the best treatment. This is why, to me, these two are some of the most important issues to face right now.
