Montgomery County's Advanced Practice Center has published a toolkit to help people manage influenza at home. This simple toolkit represents an effort to orient the public to that reality and provide some helpful guidelines on home care. The overall structure and concept behind the toolkit are worthy of highlighting. It includes sections on preventing the spread, covering one's cough, general health, and more detailed items such as a disinfection formula and a personal care log. It is a user-friendly guide meant for family reference. It is critical for the citizenry to understand that an important component of the overall healthcare plan during a pandemic involves home healthcare.
Materials submitted for this project consist of electronic documents and web
links, and combinations of both. If a component part appears to have more than
one link, this is why: CIDRAP saved the documents and reviewed both documents
and links when the practices were submitted for review. The external links
included here may be duplicative to some of the stored files, but they may
also be updated or provide additional useful information.
