"The seventh biennial Harrison Survey, jointly sponsored by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the Society for Academic Continuing Medical Education (SACME), documents an academic enterprise that displays three major characteristics, somewhat in opposition to its traditional image as an isolated, passive educational entity. First, continuing medical education/ continuing professional development (CME/CPD) is increasingly integrated into the functions and missions of academic medical centers, academic health systems, and medical schools of the United States and Canada. Second, it demonstrates numerous examples of innovation and scholarship in educational design and operation. Finally, possibly as a result of the first two elements, there is an increased focus on assessing the impact of CME/CPD activities on learner competence, performance, and health care outcomes. The purpose of the survey is to help identify and understand the placement and alignment of the CME/CPD unit within the academic medical center (AMC). Survey findings will benefit those in the CME/CPD field who can use the data to assess and enhance the shape and scope of CME/CPD and who will share the information with AMC leaders, including deans, CEOs, and others. The survey generates broad but important findings for discussion and analysis in three areas: CME/CPD's structure, its function relative to relationships and educational methods, and its scope, reach, and impact. Throughout this report, data from the last Harrison Survey in 2013 are used for comparative purposes"--Executive summary.
Emerging public health information suggests that to reach the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's goal to improve health and fitness, prevent disease and disability, and enhance quality of life for all Americans through physical activity, we must create a culture that integrates physical activity into our daily lives. The ACSM American Fitness Index[tm] (AFI) program developed a valid and reliable measure of health and community fitness at a metropolitan level to: Provide community leaders with information to understand the personal, community, societal and environmental influences on physical activity and healthy eating; Develop strategies to promote physical activity at multiple levels of influence; and Take action through local community mobilization with the AFI Community Action Guide, health promotion partners and other best practices.

The Affordable Care Act promotes better health for women through the law's core tenets of access, affordability, and quality. For example, the law's provisions have expanded coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplaces and Medicaid expansions; made coverage more affordable through premium tax credits and by eliminating gender differences in premiums in the individual and small-group insurance markets; and improved quality of coverage by eliminating lifetime and annual dollar limits on Essential Health Benefits and requiring coverage of recommended preventive services and maternity care. Continued implementation of the Affordable Care Act will play a significant role in promoting the health and well-being of women across the lifespan. This report is organized into three sections that describe how health care access, affordability, and quality of care have improved for women since enactment of the Affordable Care Act.

This report covers the demographic, health, and economic aspects of global population aging. After an examination of past and projected growth of the older population and dynamics of population aging, the report then covers health, mortality, and health care of the older population. Finally, work, pensions, and other economic characteristics of older people are addressed. Compared to previous versions of the report An Aging World, this edition is unique for expanding the analysis of aging trends to all countries and areas, with an emphasis on the differences among world regions. Where data are available, it also updates the latest statistics and trends for health and economic indicators.

AHA data: includes data collected by the American Hospital Association that represents the single best source for credible, consistent information about the nation's hospitals. AHA Data provides easy, streamlined access to multiple data sets that cover demographic, operational, fnancial and IT characteristics of the nation's hospitals. AHA annual survey database: offers a wealth of data from more than 6,000 hospitals. Can be used to extract valuable demographic, operational, staffng, employment model, insurance and utilization characteristics for hospitals, providing an essential foundation to valuable health care research. Can expand analysis by matching ASDB data to public data sets using the Medicare Provider Number. Supports longitudinal healthcare research with a full decade or more of ASDB data. AHA annual survey database with financial data: sourced from the Healthcare Provider Cost Reporting Information System (HCRIS) managed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS).

This report presents a summary of methods and results of the latest World Health Organization (WHO) global assessment of ambient air pollution exposure and the resulting burden of disease. To date, air pollution -- both ambient (outdoor) and household (indoor) -- is the biggest environmental risk to health, carrying responsibility for about one in every nine deaths annually. Ambient (outdoor) air pollution alone kills around 3 million people each year, mainly from noncommunicable diseases. Air pollution continues to rise at an alarming rate, and affects economies and people's quality of life; it is a public health emergency. Interventions and policies for tackling air pollution issues exist and have been proven to be effective. Air pollution has also been identified as a global health priority in the sustainable development agenda. The role of the health sector is crucial, and there is a need to engage with other sectors to maximize the co-benefits of health, climate, environment, social and development. Saving people's lives is the overarching aim to implement policies aiming at tackling air pollution in the health, transport, energy, and urban development sectors.
