cost

community resources
Sustainability
adequacy of systems available to support CHBC
Facility-Based or Outreach
Community-Based Model
Community-driven and owned: typically relies on
volunteers who reside in the communities covered by
the program
Volunteers are trained to provide basic nursing care,
emotional and spiritual support to the patient and
family members
Volunteers instruct family members in caring for the
patient and provide back-up support through regular
visits
Transport costs minimal since volunteers live close to
families
Challenge is to maintain and support the volunteers
Part A/Module A5/Session 2
Integrated Model
Combination of facility and community based
models: a community-based program which relies on
local health facility for training, supervision, and
supplies for home-care kits and ensures referrals to
patients back to the facility as and when needed
Evolution into this model is a natural one in response
to needs of communities, families, and patients. This
can result in a continuum of care through synergistic
working relations and referrals. For example, there is
a need to explore linking pharmacies with HBC
services.
