The OPC Alarms and Events specification is maintained by the OPC Foundation, and defines the exchange of alarm and event type message information, as well as variable states and state management. [2] Community involvement in health activities varies from community to community. The variation depends on the nature of the community and the way in which the health service system perceives community participation in health care activities. While action by the community has become a feature of the approach to primary health care that is now being advocated by WHO and UNICEF for developing countries, its usefulness is often questioned in more developed countries, especially in metropolitan cities. Our experience in rural peasant communities and in cities relatively small and very large has indicated that the potential of community involvement is equally great in all settings. Information about health-relevant behavior, such as cigarette smoking, family planning practices, and compliance with medical advice. 6. The consultants are of two kinds, those for care of patients and those for the community medicine aspects of the practice. The latter include consultants in epidemiology, biostatistics, medical sociology, and health-related behavior, as well as consultants in planning and implementing specific community programs, such as growth and development, mental health, hypertension, or cancer. Most of these consultants would be more interested and able to function more effectively in the setting of COPC if they had some experience in this field. Thus in the case of epidemiologists, the application of their skills to the relatively small populations involved in COPC, a situation to which they are seldom exposed, may require extra experience. In the case of clinicians, there is need for more knowledge of epidemiology and population medicine. Registers are now in common use in epidemiologic studies of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. 21 In this COPC practice the presence of hypertension is recorded on a card register that is maintained for all CHAD subjects and available for use by the nurse coordinator of the program and for each nurse and physician in the practice team. This card register is used for reviewing the progress of the program in measuring the compliance of persons at risk and the response to treatment. It thus becomes the key to the monitoring of individual patient care and to the surveillance of the community as a whole. Almost 90 percent of people who have resided in the neighborhood for at least 2-3 years have come into the program, and almost all known hypertensives receive medicinal treatment. For these purposes the community program defines a hypertensive as a person found consistently to have a systolic BP ≥160 mm Hg and/or diastolic ≥95 mm Hg.

Extension of community health programs beyond the framework of primary care, e.g., by promoting health education programs in schools or community centers, or by participating in broad programs of community development that are not aimed solely at health advancement but that deal with the root causes of health and disease in the community. Mobility of the health teams—“outreach” activities, such as going out into the community to become acquainted with the people and their health problems and identifying people at risk and inviting them to attend for surveillance or care. 5.

Community health workers have become the main primary care practitioners in many societies. The “barefoot doctor” of China is an example of this in a large country. 38 Equally interesting but on a more modest scale is the concept of community members themselves functioning within their own communities, not as community members of a primary care health center, but as workers relatively independent of medical services. An example of this is the Community Health Participation Program (CHPP), which is directed by the Department of Social Medicine of the Montefiore Hospital and Medical Center in the Bronx, New York City. 39 Volunteers in the community undergo a training program in the CHPP that includes first aid, with cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency handling of persons choking on food, and advocacy and counselling of individuals, families, and other community groups regarding the use of various agencies and their rights in the use of different facilities. These volunteers also learn about systems of social support for those members of the community who are not well integrated in a social network, such as aged persons living alone, disabled persons, teenagers in need of help, and new immigrants.

Improvement: Drive improvements in customer satisfaction and cost to serve consistency of operations As expected in this particular community, there was a sharp rise in prevalence with age, but at that time we were not able to make more specific inferences because of the considerable difference in frequency of BP recordings. Different communities may have different understandings of participation that range from the sharing of information to involvement in decision-making regarding health services. Health facility community committees can assist with community participation, but may also lead to conflict as community members are more aware of their rights. Community participation can also reflect paternalistic and authoritarian community leadership styles and undermine opportunities for participation from women, youth and marginalised men. It is probably true to say that there will not be sufficient numbers of physicians to provide future clinical primary care services. How then can we ask those practitioners to extend their clinical practice functions by adding an important role for them in community medicine? We believe that the answer is to provide them with assistants for clinical work, as well as for community health. Thus a community health care team, made up of different professional groups, is the answer, rather than separating the services along the lines of the traditional separation of personal public health services and curative medical practice. This being so, we need to provide training facilities for various members of the COPC health team. Such action does presuppose that a unified COPC is the desired practice of the future.The OPC standard is a series of specifications developed by industry vendors, end-users and software developers. These specifications define the interface between Clients and Servers, as well as Servers and Servers, including access to real-time data, monitoring of alarms and events, access to historical data and other applications.
