Resumo: | Both the Public Health approach and the Clinical approach to health aim at improving or maintaining health, and both are scientific in nature. Clinical, laboratorial or epidemiological indicators are approaches to knowledge useful for the diagnosis and monitoring of the health situation, and for the measuring the impact of interventions. Data quality, among other characteristics, is of paramount importance for the quality of the outcome when using health indicators. Most indicators used in Public Health are measures of frequency, association or impact at population level and result of the epidemiological approach to individual data or information, sometimes of clinical nature. The simplest example of the interconnections between the Public Health approach and the Clinical approach to health may be illustrated by individual pharmacological interventions, curative or preventive, which efficacy, efficiency and effectiveness were evaluated in groups of individuals where that individual was, almost certainly, not included. The interests, approaches and practices of Medical General Practitioners and Public Health Medical practitioners are constantly converging. It seems important that both are aware of this for the sake of a better individual and population health. |

Ambas utilizam abordagens científicas para tentar responder a essas necessidades, expressas ou reais. Os indicadores, clínicos, laboratoriais ou epidemiológicos, são aproximações ao conhecimento que permite diagnosticar a situação, monitorizar a sua evolução e medir o impacto das intervenções. A qualidade dos dados utilizados na sua construção é, entre outras características, fundamental para a qualidade do resultado pretendido. A maior parte dos indicadores utilizados em Saúde Pública têm origem em dados e informação individual, por vezes clínica. A análise epidemiológica daqueles dados e informação gera indicadores de frequência, medidas de associação e medidas de impacto a nível populacional. Por seu lado, a abordagem clínica utiliza, também, informação epidemiológica para enquadrar e fundamentar intervenções no indivíduo ou na família. O exemplo mais simples da interligação das duas abordagens é ilustrado pela intervenção farmacológica, preventiva ou curativa, dirigida à pessoa, mas cuja eficácia, eficiência e efectividade foram estudadas em grupos de pessoas em que, quase certamente, a pessoa em questão não esteve incluída. Os interesses, abordagens e práticas dos Médicos de Família e dos Médicos de Saúde Pública convergem de forma constante, sendo importante que disso haja consciência para uma cada vez melhor saúde das pessoas.Associação Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar2007-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.32385/rpmgf.v23i4.10388https://doi.org/10.32385/rpmgf.v23i4.10388Portuguese Journal of Family Medicine and General Practice; Vol. 23 No. 4 (2007): Revista Portuguesa de Clínica Geral; 439-50Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar; Vol. 23 Núm. 4 (2007): Revista Portuguesa de Clínica Geral; 439-50Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar; Vol. 23 N.º 4 (2007): Revista Portuguesa de Clínica Geral; 439-502182-51812182-517310.32385/rpmgf.v23i4reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://rpmgf.pt/ojs/index.php/rpmgf/article/view/10388https://rpmgf.pt/ojs/index.php/rpmgf/article/view/10388/10124Dias, Carlos MatiasFreitas, MárioBriz, Teodoroinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-09-17T11:58:50Zoai:ojs.rpmgf.pt:article/10388Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openairemluisa.alvim@gmail.comopendoar:71602024-09-17T11:58:50Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |

Both the Public Health approach and the Clinical approach to health aim at improving or maintaining health, and both are scientific in nature. Clinical, laboratorial or epidemiological indicators are approaches to knowledge useful for the diagnosis and monitoring of the health situation, and for the measuring the impact of interventions. Data quality, among other characteristics, is of paramount importance for the quality of the outcome when using health indicators. Most indicators used in Public Health are measures of frequency, association or impact at population level and result of the epidemiological approach to individual data or information, sometimes of clinical nature. The simplest example of the interconnections between the Public Health approach and the Clinical approach to health may be illustrated by individual pharmacological interventions, curative or preventive, which efficacy, efficiency and effectiveness were evaluated in groups of individuals where that individual was, almost certainly, not included. The interests, approaches and practices of Medical General Practitioners and Public Health Medical practitioners are constantly converging. It seems important that both are aware of this for the sake of a better individual and population health. |
