In 2002, the Institute of Medicine completed a study focusing primarily on the financing of public health services. This report added a new paradigm for approaches to examining the public health services that a population would require. Describe the four areas the IOM report defined
The IOM report defined the areas as:
• Foundational Capabilities: cross-cutting skills needed in state/local health departments everywhere for health system to work anywhere; essential skills/capacities to support all activities
• Foundational Areas: substantive areas of expertise or program-specific activities in all state/local health departments necessary to protect the community's health
• Programs/Activities Specific to a Health Department or a Community's Needs: additional, critical significance to a specific community's health, supported by Foundational Areas and Capacities; most of a health department's work
• Foundational Public Health Services: comprised of the Foundational Capacities and Areas; a suite of skills, programs/activities that must be available in state/local health departments system-wide
