Community health workers liaise between underserved populations and clinicians, help patients and resources to manage disease, and provide health education, informal counseling, and social support. Interest in community health workers is shifting away from narrowly focused intervention on a single disease toward care coordination of multiple chronic conditions.
社区卫生工作者在服务不足的人群与临床医生之间起到联络作用,帮助患者和资源来管理疾病,并提供健康教育、非正式咨询和社会支持。对社区卫生工作者的关注正从对单一疾病的狭义干预转向对多种慢性病的护理协调。
