Description
The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), under its Community Free of Caries Initiative, is proud to present the Integrated Oral Disease Prevention and Management (IODPM) modules as a practical solution to facilitate the integration of oral health within primary health care. Integrating oral health prevention and management into the delivery of primary health care services is now one of the cornerstones of PAHO’s oral health program. The IODPM modules are geared to assist primary health care workers in the prevention of oral diseases and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) through various promotional activities. The resulting benefits serve to increase awareness of protective factors, such as appropriate oral self-care practices, the effective use of fluorides, and healthy lifestyle choices related to diet, nutrition, personal hygiene, and smoking and alcohol consumption. This integrated approach is a “‘best practice”’ model and reorients oral health care toward prevention, tackles common risk factors for NCDs and oral health and, facilitates early intervention...

Module 02: physical activity(PAHO, 2025-04-29)Regular physical activity is a key protective factor in preventing and controlling noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes. It also promotes mental health by preventing cognitive decline, depression, and anxiety, and contributes to overall well-being. Finally, because it increases insulin sensitivity, it helps lower blood glucose levels and reduce conditions that aggravate diabetes and its complications. Because it also strengthens the heart, improves circulation in the legs, and lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels, physical activity is also essential to prevent the main complications of diabetes, which are retinopathy, chronic kidney disease, and foot injuries (diabetic foot). Another benefit is the possibility of maintaining a healthy weight. For that reason, if a person is overweight or obese, physical activity, along with a healthy diet, can help reduce weight and belly fat (abdominal girth). This module describes a key element in diabetes care, which is physical activity. It is aimed at people living with the disease, their families, and caregivers. Its purpose is to contribute to self-care by providing some basic recommendations for incorporating physical activity as part of the daily life of people with diabetes. These recommendations do not replace the indications of the physician or healthcare team, but they can help to improve diabetes self-management and also to prevent its complications.Item Diseño de implementación del módulo de hábitos y estilos de vida saludables de HEARTS en el primer nivel de atención en México(2022)[RESUMEN]. El número de personas con enfermedades cardiovasculares constituye uno de los principales problemas de salud pública. La Secretaría de Salud de México, junto con la representación local de la Organización Pana- mericana de la Salud, suman esfuerzos para la implementación de “HEARTS: paquete técnico para el manejo de las enfermedades cardiovasculares en atención primaria de la salud”. El objetivo del presente artículo es describir el diseño de la implementación del módulo “Hábitos y estilos de vida saludables: asesoramiento para los pacientes”, el cual forma parte del paquete técnico de HEARTS. Para ello se conformó un grupo interdisciplinario e interinstitucional en el que se discutió el objetivo de la implementación, los temas a abordar en cada intervención breve, así como su seguimiento y monitoreo. En conclusión, trabajar con el grupo asesor de diversas disciplinas del área de la salud contribuyó a contar con una visión amplia para el abordaje de la persona, así como con el diseño de la implementación del módulo. Se espera alcanzar una comunicación activa entre paciente y profesional de salud, contribuyendo a generar intervenciones que generen pacientes informados y activos en el cuidado de su salud, así como equipos de salud como mayores herramientas que les posibiliten obtener mejores resultados en salud.Item Innovative Care for Chronic Conditions : Organizing and Delivering High Quality Care for Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases in the Americas(PAHO, 2013)[Executive Summary]. Care for chronic noncommunicable diseases (CNCDs) such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a global problem. Research demonstrates that the vast majority of people with CNCDs do not receive appropriate care. This report describes a model of health care that could deliver integrated management of NCDs within the context of primary health care (PHC), and provides practical guidance for health care program managers, policy-makers, and stakeholders on how to plan and deliver high-quality services for people with CNCDs or CNCD risk factors. Key implications of integrated management at the policy level are also discussed, including the fi nancial and legislative aspects of care and human resource development. The report includes a list of examples of effective intervention for each component of the Chronic Care Model. Furthermore, unpublished country based examples of the implementation of good practices in chronic care are showcased throughout the document. The document concludes that the Chronic Care Model should be implemented in its entirety since its components have synergistic effects, where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Policy reforms and universal access to care are critical elements leading to better outcomes and reducing disparities in chronic disease care. It is critical to integrate PHC-based chronic care into existing services and programs. Chronic diseases should not be considered in isolation but rather as one part of the health status of the individual, who may be susceptible to many other health risks. A patient-centered care system benefits all patients, regardless of their health conditions or whether his/her condition is communicable or noncommunicable. A care system based on the Chronic Care Model is better care for all, not only for those with chronic conditions. Primary care has a central role to play as a coordination hub, but must be complemented by more specialized and intensive care settings, such as diagnostic labs, specialty care clinics, hospitals, and rehabilitation centers...
