Using the health problem analysis framework, illustrate how infant (and specifically
neonatal) mortality rates are affected by “better babies or better care.
Using the health problem analysis framework shows how better babies or better care
affects infant mortality rates. This is because components of better care determine whether there
is a decrease from improved or advanced risk characteristics among newborn babies (Malak et
al., 2019). The better baby also focuses on looking for healthy and standardized babies that do
not get sick. Therefore, better baby care means there was access to the most recommendable
availability of nutritious foods, advanced strategies on mothering, a well-set-up interactive
environment, and other required necessities. These babies managed to live longer; hence they
became the champions of better babies or better care.
Describe the public health “science” underlying the Outcome Oriented Perinatal
Surveillance System.
The public health "science" underlying the Outcome Oriented Perinatal Surveillance
System is the social determinants of health behind the case. The physical environment and
geographical position were part of an added advantage to the type of care they could receive. The
physical environment represents the place of residence, built environment, and crowded
conditions. It then explained how the newborns' outcomes differed between Chicago and New
York. Therefore, the main focus was to try and understand why there was a difference between
New York City and those in Chicago, whereby babies born in New York were much better than
those born in Chicago. The social determinants were then used to find the underlying causes.
, Explain why the structure and process standards are not equal to quality care and better
outcomes.
There is no equality in the structure and process standards and better outcomes because of
various reasons. Quality measurements focus on structures, and care processes are proven after
demonstrating having a good relationship to positive health outcomes (Kelly et al., 2017). They
are then under the health care system control that assesses the quality of care. It then does not
explain the patient's quality care and better outcomes since the processes can easily be followed,
although there is no consideration of the needs of a patient. Therefore, the study is conducted to
find an objective based on the evidence found after data collection. The study then finds what is
needed and produces reliable results.
Identify the aspects of perinatal networks and perinatal systems which influence the
outcomes for referral hospitals. For community hospitals? Determine which level of
hospitals likely merits the closest scrutiny.
Perinatal networks focus on promoting optimal perinatal care for families and patients. It
is then accomplished through a reduction in morbidity and mortality rates by promoting optimal
care (Furfaro and Payne, 2018). The care is directly offered to families through identifying and
implementing quality and improved activities. This can only be successfully done through
offering education and training, conducting research, and coordinating between organizations,
agencies, and health service providers. The main goal is to have an increase in the coverage for
patients. Perinatal systems focus on improving maternal and perinatal outcomes hence reduce on
child mortality. For the hospital levels, regionalized systems are assigned hospitals based on risk-
