DQ2 Reflection: Health Promotion
Case management has been part of C-PHN since the days of Lillian Wald. Now common within other health care settings, its origins are firmly rooted in public health. While working with an individual or family, the case manager may uncover lack of services or educational resources in the community. In the role of advocate, the C-PHN addresses these gaps in services, researches evidence based practices, and institutes change within a community.
For this discussion, summarize the health promotion you designed and shared last week.
Identify evidence based practices and interventions that support your health promotion plan from M5D1.
Using Table 22-1 (pp 482 of text) as a guide, describe how your health promotion plan addresses each of the components listed in this table. Be sure to include examples of members of the inter- professional team who will assist in successful implementation of your plan.
Identify the C-PHN competency this activity would address.
