The OK Health Check design was dictated by
specific factors

    group

  • A checklist approach

The OK Health Check The prime objectives
  • To identify potential and actual health care
    needs
  • To help identify unhelpful practices in the care
    setting
  • To help identify staff training needs
  • To contribute to the care audit process

The OK Health Check in Practice
  • Direct carers record their observations
  • Assessment findings discussed with HF
  • Assessment data analysed by HF to identify actual
    and potential health needs
  • Care Plans developed with strategies to meet
    identified needs

9
Learning Disability - some myths
  • Learning disability is a social and educational
    problem, not a health problem
  • People with learning disability have the same
    needs as everybody else
  • The GP and PHCT are responsible for monitoring
    and managing the health of the community
  • The GP is the first point of contact for health
    needs

10
The OK Health CheckBasic principles
  • Those who live and work with clients on a
    day-to-day basis are the people best placed to
    recognise and identify health needs and changes
    in health.
  • Those who provide the direct care for people with
    Intellectual Disability are the first point of
    contact to meet health care needs.

11
The OK Health CheckBasic Principles
  • Personal health must be seen within the context
    of the clients whole life.
  • Health awareness and health promotion are prime
    roles of all direct carers.
  • Simple health assessment is a key function and
    responsibility of direct carers.
  • Generic providers can probably only provide a
    generic service.

12
The OK Health Check Model
  • Health Facilitation is a highly skilled
    professional role.
  • Health Action Planning is keystone of good health
    care.
  • Direct carers are the major influence on the
    health of people with Intellectual Disability.
