| Summary |
This CD-ROM was designed to establish closer ties between investigators and academicians, the health services and the community, through a joint effort to generate knowledge and evaluate the interventions included in the IMCI strategy.
The priority operations research studies on IMCI were designed as a tool for accelerating implementation
of the strategy. The effort must enlist not only health workers, but also academicians
and scientists working on problems and illnesses that affect child health. The primary purpose of
the research protocols in this CD-ROM is to offer practical tools for application at the local level,
defined as the health services and the community. The use of the protocols will yield greater
knowledge about the illnesses and health problems that affect them and facilitate the identification
of priority areas to improve the health status of children. In addition, use of these protocols will
assist evaluating the impact of the IMCI strategy and provide information to, modify technical and
operating standards while underscoring the importance of allocating sufficient resources to
expand coverage of the strategy.
In launching this effort, the IMCI program considered the importance both of research, as a catalyst
for improving the quality of care in the health services, and of the systematic evaluation of the
results of the interventions for disease prevention and control. Operations research helps to
enhance the role of the health services in generating knowledge and in collective efforts to
improve the health of the population.
The IMCI Program of the Pan American Health Organization hopes that these operations research protocols will be studied, discussed, adapted, and most importantly, applied in an accelerated
manner thus extending the benefits of current knowledge and technologies for the prevention and
control of childhood illness to all the population. |
