The three core functions of public health are assessment, policy development and planning, and assurance. The core function “assessment” includes monitoring, diagnosing and investigating health problems in communities. The core function “policy development and planning” includes educating people, creating community partnerships, and developing policies that promote individual and community health needs (Truglio-Londrigan & Lewenson, 2018). The core function “assurance” includes enforcing healthcare laws and regulations, linking people to needed health services, ensuring an appropriate workforce to carry out public health needs, evaluating effectiveness of processes, and researching new opportunities.
The ten essential public health services overlap and support the core functions and include monitoring, solving, identifying and investigating health problems; informing, educating and empowering people and communities; mobilizing community partnerships; developing policies and plans; applying health care laws and regulations; evaluating effectiveness of public health personnel and services; and studying new ideas and solutions (Truglio-Londrigan & Lewenson, 2018).
