Implementação do hiperdia na USF Ceciliano Coelho, no município de Japaratinga, Alagoas

Abstract

The conditions that cause increased morbidity and mortality in Brazil are cardiovascular diseases. Hypertension and diabetes are diseases that greatly contribute to this context, although controllable. The implementation of Hiperdia, is a way to clarify to the population the meaning of these diseases, how to prevent them, identify them and treat them properly. It is also a moment of exchange of experiences among participants. Thus, patients are called weekly, for community health workers, to collect physical and clinical data, such as current medications with their doses, weight verification, measurement of blood pressure, blood glucose and measuring the circumference abdominal. Then, after proper data collection and registration in the record created by the health team of the unit in association with the city's Health Department, patients are invited to attend lectures and walks. At this time there is also interaction between the members and removal of doubts.
