    OBJECTIVE: A sustainable healthcare system calls for strengthening the focus on prevention. In general, there is no articulated demand for preventive interventions by an individual. Prevention therefore requires a programmatic approach. Based on an empirical analysis of primary and secondary prevention in our healthcare system, we identify crucial elements of such an approach. DESIGN: Desk research METHOD: The online publication is based on 41 preventive interventions that, according to US guidelines for adults, certainly will (grade A) or are very likely (grade B) to improve health. We investigated whether these interventions were implemented in a similar manner in clinical or public health practice in the Netherlands, and how these interventions are organized, implemented and funded. RESULTS: In the US, a systematic approach for disease prevention is recommended for 15 drug or behavioural interventions. In the Netherlands, six of these (e.g. counselling excessive alcohol consumption) are offered only to patients who present themselves with complaints or questions. In the US, systematic early detection is recommended for 26 diseases. In the Netherlands, for eleven of those, no early detection programme has been implemented (e.g. hypertension). In the Netherlands, all interventions have a basis for funding. CONCLUSION: Firstly, it is recommended that consensus will be reached in the Netherlands about which preventive interventions should be systematically offered to whom. Secondly, strengthening prevention implies the systematic identification of those who might benefit from interventions, especially in case of drug and behavioural ones. Thirdly, our analysis points to the importance of funding that aligns with a programmatic approach

    Examensarbetets mĂ„l Ă€r en fĂ€rdig mobilapplikation som snabbast möjligast avgör avstĂ„nd och vĂ€g till blodbussar genom olika informationssamlare och som visar upp resultatet i Google Maps. MĂ„let med sjĂ€lva applikationen Ă€r att den ska underlĂ€tta för anvĂ€ndare att ge blod och dĂ€rmed i förlĂ€ngningen att den brist pĂ„ blod som idag rĂ„der i Sverige minskar. Att samla information genom att vĂ€lja och formatera information Ă€r ett vĂ€ldigt smidigt sĂ€tt om man Ă€r sĂ€ker pĂ„ att hemsidan du samlar ifrĂ„n inte kommer förĂ€ndras inom den nĂ€rmaste framtiden. Möjligheterna för informationssamlande Ă€r helt beroende pĂ„ hur sidan du hĂ€mtar informationen ifrĂ„n ser ut. Jag har anvĂ€nt Java och Android nĂ€r jag hĂ€mtat information frĂ„n Blodbussens hemsida. Undersökningen som har gjorts mellan olika informationssamlare hade Ă€ven den ett mĂ„l i sig och det var att jĂ€mföra tvĂ„ bibliotek som vĂ€ljs genom en förstudie för att senare göra sjĂ€lva html-informationssamlingen och sĂ„ har jag anvĂ€nt en egen klass som anvĂ€nder nĂ„gra utav Android positionsmetoder för att komma frĂ„n adress till koordinater. Mitt fokus har varit pĂ„ jĂ€mförelsen mellan de olika html-informationssamlarna och jag har utvĂ€rderat det i rapporten under resultat. De aspekter jag har haft i Ă„tanke Ă€r korrekthet och hastighet. Detta projekt resulterade i en "proof-of-concept"-applikation som visar var de olika bussarna befinner sig relativt till en individs position. Resultatet av förstudien kring de olika informationssamlarna har lett till ökad kunskap inom parsning och bland de tvĂ„ jag jĂ€mförde mer grundligt har jag fĂ„tt större inblick i deras styrkor och svagheter.The goal of this degree project is to give a complete Native Mobile application which determines the range and route to the bloodmobiles through different information collectors and show the result in Google Maps as fast as possible. The goal with the application is that it should make it easier to donate blood and in the long run terminate the shortage of blood that reign in Sweden. To get information through selecting and formatting information is a very flexible way of getting information if you are certain that the page won’t change anything in a near future. The possibilities of getting information are totally dependent on how the homepage is looking. I have used Java and Android when I have been gathering information from the Blood Bus homepage. The study of the different information collectors also had a goal in itself and that was to examine two libraries which are chosen by a pre-study for the html-information-collector and then I have made a class of my own to go from address to coordinates which are using a few of the location methods from Android. My main focus is on the comparison between the html-information-collector and I have evaluated that in the report under results. The main aspects I have had in mind for my evaluation are correctness and speed. This project resulted in a "proof-of-concept"-application that shows where the different buses are relative to your position. The result of the pre-study about the different information collectors has given me increased knowledge in parsing and insight of the up- and downsides of the two libraries that I compared more thorough
