Abstract

DIAZ NOVAS, José; GALLEGO MACHADO, Bárbara Rosa  and  CALLES CALVINO, Adela. Basis and peculiarities of clinical method of primary health care. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2011, vol.27, n.2, pp.232-244. ISSN 0864-2125.

The medical diagnosis is the base of an appropriate care to our patients. A review of national literature and of some foreign papers on the clinical method was conducted, its significance, bases, procedures and major features in primary care emphasizing on the morbidity at that care level, the particular characteristics of the health problems approached, as well as the strategies to be followed for the diagnosis. The final considerations on this subject are made emphasizing that the appropriate use of clinical method is the main resource to count on the physician to identify the health problems faced in the primary care.

Keywords : Clinical method; medical diagnosis; diagnosis of primary care; diagnostic strategies; morbidity; health problems.
