Our government and many health-related organizations put together a plan every 10 years to improve the health of the nation. This decade’s plan is called HealthyPeople 2020 – https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/About-Healthy-People
Some of the broad areas that Healthy People 2020 focuses on are:
- Reducing or eliminating illness, disability or premature death
- Eliminating health disparities
- Addressing social determinants of health
- Improving access to quality health care
- and many others
HealthyPeople 2020 mid-course review shows which of the most important indicators of health are improving, staying the same, or declining – https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/data-search/midcourse-review/lhi
Late in 2020, Healthy People 2030 was released, though work still continues to evaluate some of the Leading Health Indicators – https://health.gov/healthypeople
