All were chosen based on data integrity, sponsoring agency, and repetition of study. The one source that differs somewhat is the Local Public Health System Performance Assessment from the National Public Health Performance Standards Program. The results are based on local health experts’ completion of the assessment. Every effort was made to cross reference data points and integrate findings in the present report. All sources are listed in the reference list on page 59.</p><p>Focus Areas Within the 11 focus areas the following trends, or notable findings, emerged:</p><p> Monitoring Health Status and Evaluating Services presented the greatest opportunities for community health service actions  Washington County population is declining and aging  Per capita income in Washington County has increased although a segment of the population lives below the poverty level with the poorest group being children under the age of 5 and a larger percentage of those under age 18 living in poverty than at the state and federal levels  OWF and TANF assistance to children increased while it has decreased to adults in Washington County  Food assistance has trended upward  The number of uninsured adults and children has increased  Washington County has a higher infant mortality rate than the state  Leading causes of death in Washington County include cancer and heart disease with the highest cancer site incidents and mortality rates being lung, breast, and prostate; Washington County residents lag the state in PAP tests, mammography and colonoscopies (but not PSA testing)  Washington County residents are more likely to have had a heart attack, heart diseases or a stroke than the state average and less than 50% recognize symptoms of heart attack and stroke  There has been an increase in maternal smoking during pregnancy  Child custody rates have risen and reunification with parents has simultaneously decreased somewhat  Washington County has higher rates of abuse and neglect of children of all ages than the state</p><p>4  Our population is aging and the incidence and severity of their disabilities is increasing with the largest area being physical disability  Due to the lower educational attainment by Washington County’s older population they may be more economically vulnerable  Preventable hospitalizations are higher for residents with uncontrolled diabetes pneumonia and COPD than the state  Washington County’s ratio of physicians to population is higher than the state (more residents per physician)  Washington County health risk behaviors include a higher incidence of smoking and less exercise than the state  Washington County ranks 82nd out of 88 counties in Ohio for physical environmental (quality and built environment).  Washington County ranks 72nd out of 88 counties in Ohio for clinical care (quality and access).  Washington County ranks 62nd out of 88 counties in Ohio for health behaviors (tobacco use, diet/exercise, alcohol use, unsafe sex).  Washington County ranks 22nd out of 88 counties in Ohio for social/economic factors (education, employment, income, family/social support, community safety).</p><p>5 Focus Areas</p><p>Health Service Actions1</p><p>Purpose of National Public Health Performance Standards Program (NPHPSP):</p><p> To improve the practice of public health and performance of public health systems</p><p> Guide state and local jurisdictions in evaluating current performance against optimal standards Essential Public Health Services (EPHS) – include 2-4 model standards Model Standards – describe key aspects of optimally performing health system</p><p>Ten EPHS and the respective model standards:</p><p>1.
