Question

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION 1. Using the health problem analysis framework, illustrate how infant (and specifically neonatal) mortality rates are affected by "better babies or better care." 2. What is the public health "science" underlying the Outcome Oriented Perinatal Surveillance System

Answer 1

Answer:

The neonatal period is the first 28 days of life. It is the period when new born babies are vulnerable to health problems. Considering health problem analysis framework, Infant or neonatal mortality is rampant at this stage of life, as babies(one month or below) have low chances of surviving. Better care or better babies care focus intensive care for neonates, and reducing their mortality rate.

Public health science outcome-orientated perinatal surveillance system can be explained as an objective, understandable, and acceptable basis for establishing monitoring evaluation, and regulatory strategies for hospitals with units for maternity and newborns. It is also the continuous, systematic collection, analysis and interpretation and data related to newborn babies in Hospitals, for the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice.

Explanation:
