The clinical care category represents access to quality health care and preventive services, such as primary care providers, immunizations and preventable hospitalizations. This category is one of the five categories of measures used in the America’s Health Rankings model. The other four categories are behaviors, social and economic factors, physical environment and health outcomes. This model is built upon the World Health Organization’s definition of health: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Our model reflects that determinants of health directly influence health outcomes.
