Strategies of Health Risk Assessment
- Opportunistic Screening – Address preventive health care at any and all office visits.
- Scheduled “periodic health exam”
- Annual Physical Exam
The above decision depends on evidence based practice, clients preference, resources and insurance/financial constraints
The screening involves asking questions of, or conducting tests on patients ‘to identify those individuals who are more likely to be helped than harmed by further tests or treatment to reduce the risk of a disease or its complications’. The World Health Organisation has produced guidelines for the effectiveness of screening programs. We have kept these and other International guidelines in mind when developing the guidelines.
