Abstract		Background Contemporary scientific cognitions, the brisk societal development and the accelerated process of incorporation into the European professional and political streams have influenced Slovenian terminology referring to population health and health determinants, to actors and relations of the health system. If we were supposed to contribute to the development of effective policies, strategies and systems for health protection and promotion of the Slovenian population professionally, we would have to create a comprehensive and a modern language to enable a precise communication between the government, the health management, the health professionals and the general public in Slovenia and abroad. Many scientific disciplines deal with health, health determinants and health systems, therefore it is necessary to use the transdisciplinary approach to understand and research the topic comprehensively. Conclusions Since some sharp discussions regarding Slovenian public health system, characterised by a usage of fruitless definitions and a lack of shared basic concepts have occured recently, it is necessary that the public health profession proposes a comprehensive model of definitions in this area, too.
Summary		Izhodišča Nova znanstvena spoznanja, pester družbeni razvoj ter pospešeno vključevanje v evropske strokovne in politične tokove so vplivali tudi na slovensko izrazje na področju zdravja prebivalstva, opredeljivk zdravja ter dejavnikov in odnosov v zdravstvenem sistemu. Če želimo s strokovnimi razlagami, predlogi in usmeritvami prispevati k razvoju učinkovitih politik, strategij in sistemov za zaščito in krepitev zdravja slovenskega prebivalstva, moramo izoblikovati celovit in sodoben strokovni jezik, ki bo zakonodajalcu, upravljavcem, izvajalcem in splošni javnosti omogočil natančno sporazumevanje doma in v med narodnem okolju. Zdravje, opredeljivke zdravja in zdravstvene sisteme obravnavajo številne znanstvene discipline, zato je za njihovo razumevanje in proučevanje potreben transdisciplinarni pristop. Zaključki Ker se o slovenskem javnem zdravstvu v zadnjem času v različnih vrstah javnosti ostro krešejo različna mnenja, pogosto pa se razprave brezplodno končajo pri opredeljevanju in razhajanju v zvezi s temeljnimi pojmi, je prav, da stroka javnega zdravja predlaga celovit model opredelitev tudi na tem področju.
