Abstract

ALCARAZ AGUERO, Maritza. Community visiting pass. MEDISAN [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.3, pp.399-405. ISSN 1029-3019.

The community visiting pass is the daily observation made by health workers to the persons hospitalized in polyclinics (or hospitals) in order to assess their health condition or clinical pattern progression so as to carry out the necessary instructions for their rehabilitation. It has become the basic-assisting-teaching-organizational method of medical specialties. In addition, it allows the gathering of all those persons who have to do with the treatment and the diagnosis around the patient (i.e. working basic group); thus, values such as humanism, ethics, moral, responsibility, and solidarity are confirmed through this mechanism. As a result, it constitutes a novel method to organize the teaching process in primary health care.

Keywords : visiting pass; working basic group; polyclinic; primary health care.
