INQUIRY DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT That's the Question!

Technological advances in the healthcare field have helped improve medical attention and promote a better quality of life; however, how do you know what devices or equipment the health facilities in your community have?

Read the following text, which provides an example.

Marcela has a problem: Her blood pressure is high and she must be careful to keep it within certain limits. To do this, it is essential for her to get detailed records of her blood pressure levels.

One day her neighbor asked her, "Marcela, have you recorded your blood pressure levels?"

Marcela replied, "What can I tell you? I haven't been able to take my blood pressure because I don't have the device for doing it and I can't buy one."

"Why don't you go to the health center? They can take it there every day", her neighbor explained.

"Oh, is that possible?" Marcela answered.

How can you know what services and equipment are available in your community?

This kind of information will be provided in a catalog, which will include a list of the services, health equipment, and community services offered. You can check this data in the catalog and find out how to use health equipment and services.
