Your customer identifies an illness or symptom of concern. She/he can search for the appropriate selfcare topics by alphabetical and/or anatomical symptom lists. Each topic contains 3 components:
- Main Symptom Information
- Decision Chart
- Home Care Advice
By using the Decision Chart, the user can place the illness into one of the following 5 "When to Call Your Doctor" categories:
- Call 911 Now (you may need an ambulance)
- Call Your Doctor Now (night or day)
- Call Your Doctor Within 24 Hours (between 9 am and 4 pm)
- Call Your Doctor During Weekday Office Hours
- Self Care at Home
Depending on the Decision Chart, the user (patient, parent, community member) can then refer to the Home Care Advice for clearly written steps for symptom management.
