The Interaction of Public Health and Primary Care: Functional Roles and Organizational Models that Bridge Individual and Population Perspectives

Introduction: Public health and primary care are often conceived as two entities providing complementary services within the health system. This scoping review aims to better understand how the two sectors interact by identifying their shared functions, and by identifying organizational models that could facilitate the interaction between the two domains. Methodology: We conducted a review of published literature using PubMed and CINAHL journal indices. Our search yielded 179 articles. We reviewed abstracts and retained 55 relevant articles. We developed an extraction grid, based on a conceptual framework of functions of public health and primary care, in order to evaluate the relevance of selected articles, classify the information according to their functional connection, and identify interactions between them. Results: Our search identified various activities through which public health can contribute to more effective primary care, and functions usually performed by primary care that seemed to support a population health approach. Most authors identified screening and immunization as actions that are carried out in primary

“…44 In this context, genetic information is an evolving tool that may sometimes assist clinical decision making. Like any tool, however, its value will vary with the clinical context; as a tool, it will always be secondary to the therapeutic relationship in which the health care clinician, with an understanding of the patient's medical and life circumstances, along with the associated moral authority, 45 may make the care personal and potentially more effective. 43 With smoking, the ultimate goal is always the same: helping smokers quit and remain nonsmokers to prevent further risk of tobacco-related disease and premature death.…”

Genetic testing has been proposed as a means to increase smoking cessation rates and thus reduce smoking prevalence. To understand how that might be practically possible, with appreciation of the current social context of tobacco use and dependence, we performed a contextual analysis of smoking-related genetics and smoking cessation. To provide added value, genetics would need to inform and improve existing interventions for smokers (including behavioral and pharmacological treatments). Pharmacogenetics offers the most promising potential, because it may improve the effi cacy of medication-based smoking cessations strategies. All proven interventions for treating tobacco dependence, however, including simple cost-effective measures, such as quit lines and physician counseling, are underutilized. As tobacco use occurs disproportionately among disadvantaged populations, efforts to improve smokers' access to health care, and to the tools that are known to help them quit, represent the most promising approaches for reducing smoking prevalence within these groups. Similar considerations apply to other chronic diseases contributing to population-level health disparities. We conclude that although genetics offers increasing opportunities to tailor drug treatment, and may in some cases provide useful risk prediction, other methods of personalizing care are likely to yield greater benefi t to populations experiencing health disparities related to tobacco use.

“…Healing relationships represent the ways in which 2 or more people (or other living beings such as a beloved pet and objects such as a special stuffed animal) are connected and interact over time and place such that health emerges. 4 Health, as defined by Fine and Peters, 5 is the ability to function in relationships appropriate to one's cultures and place in the life cycle, or, in the words of Kurt Stange, 6 the ability to develop meaningful relationships and pursue transcendent purpose in a finite life. As Wendell Berry 7 summarizes, "Health is membership," the significant belonging and participating that achieve the functions and abilities named by Fine and Peters and Stange.…”
