(CNSNews.com) -
SNIPPET: “The federally funded Institute of Medicine (IOM) has just released a report listing 83 ways to “assess the progress made in every community”—and at the national level—in the fight against obesity.”
SNIPPET: “It was the IOM that controversially recommended what preventive health services — including birth control, sterilization and abortifacients — should be covered without charge under Obamacare.
“Let’s Move!” on steroids
The IOM’s 83 “indicators for measuring progress” in obesity-prevention include the following, in no particular order. This is only a partial list.”
SNIPPET: “According to IOM, “assessment” means looking at the number and distribution of obese people within a community and at efforts to eliminate the problem.
“Surveillance” is the continuous assessment of progress over time.
“Monitoring” means tracking the implementation of various anti-obesity interventions;
And “summative evaluation” seeks to detect changes associated with particular interventions.”

“Unless they receive this procedure, they will die,” the lesson states.
But there’s a problem. The local hospital only has enough machines to support six patients.
“That means four people are not going to live,” the assignment states. “You must decide from the information below which six will survive.”(continued)
