Abstract

This paper examines the more general background to health indicators. It deals with the relation between health and social indicators, before examining the health concept. It discusses possible purposes for which health indicators should be developed, and gives some of the important data sources for this exercise. The paper contains some less traditional examples of health indicators as mainly applied in The Netherlands. Finally, it draws conclusions on the possibilities of developing health indicators.

Implementing emergency research requiring exception from informed consent, community consultation, and public disclosure.

Conducting emergency research in the out-of-hospital and emergency department setting is a challenge because of the inability of patients to provide informed consent in many situations. Federal guidelines allowing research under an exception from informed consent for emergency research have been established (21 CRF 50.24). Community consultation and public disclosure, 2 required components of obtaining this exception, are seen by many as a barrier to resuscitation research. This article will provide a brief overview of the history of the exception from informed consent for emergency research and summarize our methods recently used to successfully complete community consultation and public disclosure for a trial evaluating 2 devices used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a large metropolitan area.
