Study Notes

Community Assessment

  • Data collection depends on assessment objectives
  • Data on determinants: people, place, social system
  • Data collected for PATCH (Planned Approach to Community Health) process:
    • Community profile: demographic, educational, economic data
    • Morbidity and mortality: including unique health events (e.g., barangay health station completion, typhoon)
    • Behavioral data: risk factors (smoking, drinking, sedentary lifestyle), good health practices (breastfeeding, exercise)
    • Opinion data from community leaders: health problems, causes, solutions

Problem-Oriented Assessment

  • Focuses on a particular health aspect
  • Identifying community health problems

Tools in Community Assessment

  • Collecting primary data:
    • Observation: (ocular survey/windshield survey)
    • Surveys
    • Informant interviews: (talks to community people, key informants – formal & informal community leaders/influencers, community forum)
    • Focus groups
  • Secondary data sources: (registry of vital events – civil registrar, vital statistics office (NSO), births, deaths, marriages)

Field Health Service Information System (FHSIS)

  • Basis for priority setting by local governments
  • Planning and decision-making at various levels (barangay, municipality, district, province, national)
  • Monitoring and evaluating health program implementation

Recording Forms

  • Individual Treatment Record (ITR): (building block of FHSIS), client-maintained records are not to be relied on. Facility-based maternal records must still have a treatment record available.
  • Target Client List (TCL): prenatal care, postpartum care, under-1-year-old children, family planning, sick children, National tuberculosis program registry, and national leprosy control program
  • Summary Table (accomplished by midwife) : tool for assessment of accomplishment and ready data source.
  • Monthly Consolidation Table (MTC): document source for quarterly form and output table of Rural Health Unit (RHU) or Health Center

Reporting Forms

  • Monthly forms: prepared by midwife and submitted to the nurse, maternal care, childcare, and family planning
  • Morbidity report: list of diseases by age and sex
  • Quarterly forms: prepared by nurse, maternal care, family planning, childcare, dental health, and disease control
