Algorithms for Health Planners

Vol. 4, Heart Attack Mortality

L. Jeff Harris, Emmett B. Keeler, Shan Cretin, Marie E. Michnich

ResearchPublished 1977

One of a series of reports presenting a methodology to help health planners develop objectives and actions by means of selected health status indicators that may be amenable to health care interventions. Using the algorithms, health system agencies can investigate determinants of health status, identify possible breakdowns in the health care system, and specify remedies. The algorithms rely primarily on vital statistics. This report in the series shows how health system agencies can approach the potential health problem of premature heart attack deaths.
