What types of communication challenges might a GP like Javiera experience with patients who have only a high school education? List two challenges that may occur during one of the following GP visit activities:
Collecting the patient’s past medical history and history of present illness
Determining the best diagnosis and treatment plan
Ensuring the patient adheres to the treatment plan and returns when needed
In Chile, the GP offices are teams of GPs, and patients see various members of the team. GPs cover 90% of the patient needs and refer them to specialists when needed. What information challenges arise from this situation? What types of solutions would facilitate better integration of care
Describe the main reasons for implementing a chronic care model in Javier’s GP health service?
If you were going to design a chronic care model that truly enabled participatory health (clinicians and patients working together) in Chile, what would be some essential elements of the model? Think about technical infrastructure, people, processes, and minimum requirements of education/attitudes/etc. You might want to review this article (Links to an external site.).
To fully account for the types of health care patients are involved in outside of the traditional medical establishment, what types of information could be useful to capture in a GP electronic health system (EHR)? Consider different interventions patients seek on their own, supplements they may consume, and beliefs/practices that may affect their attitudes or choices about healthcare delivery. What principles would you use to prioritize these types of information elements for inclusion in a GP EHR?
