A disease can be considered "emerging" if it is newly identified or previously unknown, causes disease, infection or infestation in animals, and has the potential to result in significant animal or public health impacts. It might also be a previously known disease that has changed in some way, either by an increased ability to cause disease, an expanded host range, a change in geography, and/or causing unexpected sickness and death.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medical and Hospital Organization
CONT

There must be a clear definition of the community served by a particular practitioner, agency or IHS in order to plan and fund services based on a capitation model. The patient roster identifies the patients served and paid for in a particular practice. Rostering, which is often referred to as enrollment or registration, can be organized in a number of ways, including geography, affinity groups and disease groups. Enrollment is generally voluntary. When the patient rosters, he/she is guaranteed a certain package of services. In return, the patient is committed to receiving his or her services within the practice, agency or IHS to which he or she is rostered.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Geography
DEF

The study of the distribution of human disease and causes of death, together with the factors of the environment conducive to human health and sickness.

CONT

Medical geography spans the human and physical branches of the subject and may be traced back to the interest of Greek geographers in the influence of climate on health, death rates, and diseases.(...) Today, geographers still cooperate with physicians in using modern techniques for mapping the distribution of deaths from various diseases(often an interesting indicator of the economic development of regions), and the information thus gained may also provide clues indicating some of the causal processes behind distributional variations.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Géographie humaine
