HEALTH MANAGEMENT PLANS

Dear Learner,

Mabuhay!

Welcome to "Health Management Plans"!

Why this project or unit on “Health Management Plans”?

Physicians are considered managers of health of individuals, families, and communities.

For this reason, they should know how to formulate health management plans. Thus, the importance and inclusion of this unit on “Health Management Plans.”

Another reason: Pls. look at the concept map or framework of the Course (Health Management) and you will readily understand the reason for inclusion of this unit in this Course. Knowing how to formulate health management plans for individuals, families, and communities will facilitate the promotion of Health For All Movement.

Concept Map or Framework of the Course

Still another reason: Pls. look at the concept map or framework of Unit 1 (Concept of Health and Disease) and again, you will readily understand the reason for inclusion of this unit in this Course. Formulating health management plans will help in removing kinks and resolving uncertainties that are usually encountered in the initial expression of concept of health and disease.
