The main purpose of healthcare is to provide a systematic methodology for health worker practice. The
healthworkers’ role and functions are defined and the health care processes enhance communication,
collaboration and synchronization of health team members.
• General Considerations
Caring for the individuals working with more than the client and his or
her isolated health concerns. The client’s family and significant others,
beliefs and background all influence the patients and subsequent care.
The patient’s perception of health concerns and related responses,
reasons for seeking health care, and expectations of achieving optimum
health are essential data in the health care assessment. Data reflecting
the client’s biographical status and biophysical, psychological, socio-
cultural, and spiritual health are needed to ensure multifocal approach
to care.
Health workers use their empirical and personal knowledge, experience
and judgment for determining the type of data to obtain during the
assessment. Data to be collected should be relevant to generate
diagnoses for independent health actions.
