Healthy People
Goal: Promote personal safety, healthy behaviors and access to quality healthcare for all.
Here's what successful grant recipients will need to use for measuring their programs:
- Access to Care Index – average of % of residents with health coverage, % who sought needed medical care (need care/got care), % who sought needed mental health care, % who have a usual health care provider, and % who did not have difficulty affording prescription medication in the past year.
- Healthy Behaviors Index – average of % of residents who do not smoke, % who do not drink heavily, % who are not obese, % who eat at least five servings of fruit/vegetables daily, and % partaking in adequate moderate physical activity.
- Percent of Unpreventable Hospitalizations - % of hospitalizations that were not classified as ambulatory care sensitive (preventable).
- Population in Safe Homes – annual cases of abuse, neglect, and domestic violence per 100 residents.
- Youth Health – Asthma and Diabetes hospitalizations per 100 residents under age 18.
- Youth Obesity – Michigan Care Improvement Registry data
