Addressing health information inequities
Disparity in access to trustworthy health information between high-income and low-income settings remains stark and contributes to global health inequity. The volume of new clinical practice guidelines a healthcare provider needs to digest to deliver up-to-date, evidence-based care is overwhelming, particularly in primary care, where the scope is comprehensive. However, many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) lack the resources to tailor gu…
Supporting a rapid primary care response to emergent communicable disease threats with Pack (Practical Approach to Care Kit) in Florianópolis, Brazil
Emerging infectious diseases present a significant challenge to healthcare systems with their need for a rapid response and reallocation of resources. This paper explores the implementation of the Practical Approach to Care Kit (PACK) programme in Florianópolis, Brazil as a strategic tool for reinforcing primary healthcare (PHC) responses to emergent communicable diseases. With its focus on enhancing PHC delivery in resource-limited settings, PAC…
Effects of Pack training on the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by primary care clinicians during 2 years of implementation in Florianópolis, Brazil
BACKGROUND: Training primary care doctors and nurses to use Practical Approach to Care Kit (PACK) improved management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a previous randomised trial. The present study examined the training effects including a second year of follow-up with expanded coverage of repeated training sessions. METHODS: Using a stepped-wedge cluster randomised trial design, 48 clinics were randomly allocated eit…
