Evidence of health in a community can be judged by examining progress in the focus areas delineated in Healthy People 2020.Access to primary care services is a measurable outcome that provides evidence of effectiveness of health programs.The availability of immunization services at the hospital or at many offices does not provide evidence that these services are being used.Similarly,the fact that affordable housing is under construction does not mean that it is being accepted and used nor that enough is being built.Mortality rates may be stable but could be quite high and within unacceptable parameters.
