HPH DATA MODEL

Assess and document the health promotion needs of your patients

​

The HPH DATA Model is useful for practical clinical assessment and documentation of patient needs for health promotion services. It fits directly into WHO HPH standard 2 on patient assessment (see Groene 2006), and use of this tool precedes and is compatible with the HPH DOC-ACT Model below. The HPH DATA Model comprises just 9 simple question that cover the 5 main risk factors (smoking, risky drinking, overweight/obesity, malnutrition and physical inactivity) influencing the treatment results of the patients. The model has been validated internationally. It is easy to understand and use with a low inter-variation in the clinical setting (see Tønnesen et al 2012).

HPH DOC-ACT MODEL

Assess and document the health promotion services you provide

​

The HPH DOC-ACT Model is useful for practical clinical assessment and documentation of health promotion services provided to patients, whether they be short face-to-face interventions or the longer and more intensive interventions with repeated meetings. It fits directly into WHO HPH standard 3 on information and intervention (see Groene 2006), and use of this tool follows and is compatible with the HPH DATA Model above. The HPH DOC-ACT model includes 2x8 health promotion activities. The model has been validated internationally. It is easy to understand and use (see Tønnesen et all 2007).
