The PHN monitors health status in several ways, completing a community assessment is o
b& b& b& b& b& b& b& b& b& b& b& b& b&
nly one way that health status is monitored. The PHN would not diagnose or solve “world” pr

The Institute of Medicine’s stated mission on public health is “to generate organized com

munity and technical knowledge to prevent disease and promote health.” Tracking avia flu
