  3. SCREENING
  4. EDUCATING

RISK ASSESSMENT

  • leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the target population
  • The patient’s history can be used to tailor the screening, counseling, and preventive medication services that are offered to the patient.

IMMUNIZATION

  • depends on the age group and target population
  • Also, travel immunizations do exist as a regular protocol for adults

SCREENING

The RISE protocol is a great framework and it emphasizes regular monitoring and holistic care, especially in chronic conditions. It helps catch issues early, but it’s not the only one out there.
Protocols like SOAP, SBAR or periodic health exams also guide structured checkups.
