This program enables the integration of Primary Care and
Community Health and is used at all three levels of the WHO
"Ideal Health Pyramid" levels of care: Hospital, Clinic/Health
Center, and Family/Community:
-At the Hospital and Clinic/Health Center level it is used
primarily by physicians for individual patient counseling, and
by nurses for both individual and group counseling.
(Teaching at the time of patient need is often the most effective
method for behavior change).
-At the Family/Comunity level it is used primarily by
community health workers, teachers and church/faith-based
or other local community health programs.
The numbered information sections of the written Handbook are
organized to be used with the numbered Illustrations. The
Handbook format was developed in response to requests by
health care providers, community health workers, teachers,
pastors and other community leaders in developing countries to
enable them to provide ongoing community health care
education. The program was developed for use by non-medical
as well as medical people, and can be easily individualized to
meet the most important needs of your community.
The large printed posters and large screen projections
from the PDF files are used to provide the most critical
community-specific information to larger groups of patients.
The removable notebook size illustrations are used by
physicians and other educators for smaller groups and for
patient-specific teaching.
We also attempt to present the information in a culturally
acceptable manner demonstrating a participatory approach that
will be most likely to cause a beneficial change in behavior.
In addition, optional italicized sections are included:
-to address area-specific diseases such as schistosomiasis
-and to assist medical teams.
