At this point, among the things
that become the principle of an epidemiologist is concerned about effectiveness
and efficiency of a health care program. Where is in an epidemiological do a
study of the feasibility assessment of a health care through an evaluation becomes
very important think to payed. In the science of epidemiology also prepared a
set of methods for assessing effectiveness and efficiency of a health care
program for eradication and control of a disease.
Becker (1983) gives an
example of the evaluation method possible control to reduce the number of
cholera incidents using cholera vaccination program, with PAB program and
family's toilet. It turned out that this epidemiologic method provides a tangible
result that the PAB and family's toilet program is very effective, since both
are protection factor of cholera disease.
In addition, it has been known that
epidemiological methods became the basis for preparing the work program based
health data and facts. This is because the epidemiological provide basic data
in accordance with epidemiological variables (person, place and time). These
variables give directions to the eradication and control of PM (infection
disease) and PTM (non-infection disease).
In this case, the role of epidemiologic methods
also indispensable in conducting tests of significance on each of health
phenomenon. This information is indispensable in the process of drafting a
plan, which is then used as the basis for determining the priority problems.
Once the priorities are set then the next issue is the determination of the
destination to arrive at an action plan which will be implemented in the form
of operational implementation. Overall this stage will then be monitored and
evaluated so that it becomes a relentless cycle that is continuous (on going
process). This is later known as Model-Based Planning Epidemiology.
