Health Records and Reports - a permanent written communication that documents information 9. disease registry - a special database that contains information 10. hospital-based registry - contains data on all the patients with a specific type of disease diagnosed and treated at that hospital 11. population-based registry - contains records for people diagnosed with a specific type of disease who reside within a defined geographic region 12. Census data - collected at regular intervals using methodologies such as total counts, sample surveys, and administrative records. 13. Survey questionnaire - form one uses to document the data being collected 14. Focus group discussion guide - serves to facilitate the direction and flow of exchange of ideas 15. Key informant interview guide - helps give direction to the person doing the interview using a set of prepared questions on a very specific subject. 16. Observational checklist - list of data 17. Community diagnosis - allows identification of problems and areas of improvement, thereby stimulating action (WHO, 1994). 18. Comprehensive community diagnosis - aims to obtain general information about the community 19. Demographic variables - vital indicators e.g. growth rate, CBR, CDR, life expectancy 20. Health illness and pattern - data about leading causes of illness and deaths 21. Health resources - resources that are available in the community 22. political/leadership pattern - it reflects the action potential of of the states and its people 23. Problem-oriented community diagnosis - responds to a particular need of a target group. 24. Data presentation - will depend largely on the type of data obtained. 25. Descriptive data - narrative report. 26. Numerical data - may be presented into tables or graphs making it easier to show comparisons including patterns & trends. 27. Community Organizing Participatory Action Research - a process by which a community identifies its needs and objectives, develops confidence to take action 28. Community Organizing Participatory Action Research - is an important tool for community development 29. Pre-entry phase - initial phase of the organizing process 30. Entry phase - sometimes called the social preparation phase, actual entry 31. key persons - approached by most people 32. opinion leader - approach by key persons 33. isolates - never or hardly consulted 34. Organization building phase - entails the formation of more formal structures 35. Sustenance and strengthening phase - occurs when the community organization has already been established 36. Assessment - thorough and holistic evaluation of a patient 37. Diagnosis - based on the data collected during the assessment 38. Outcome and planning - involve developing a nursing care plan 39. Implementation - continuation of care during hospitalization until discharge. 40. Evaluation - final step of the nursing process. 41. Omaha system - Omaha Visiting Nurse Association 42. Shuster and Goeppinger - a format of nursing diagnosis for population groups 43.

Importance of partnership and collaboration - collaborations allow organizations to leverage the strengths of their partners 47.
