Many
people ask about this new kind of Check-up for a better
life and of evaluation of the Quality of Life performed
by the IQVida (IQLife).
1.
The traditional Check-up : The well known check-up
started to be used during the 70’s with great
development in the 80’s. Now it has been questioned in
spite of the high number of people who continue to
follow that doubtful method. It is an evaluation
directed to the diagnosis of health conditions at that
moment and to presumable existing diseases. Throughout
an enormous amount of sophisticated lab-tests and based
on negative results, the patients are supposed to be
free to keep their same style of life.
With
“normal” results, and this happens very often, the
patients behavior usually is: “Well, I am in excellent
shape and so I will remain with my old habits: smoking,
drinking, eating a lot and sedentary as ever...”
The
check-up is still adopted as a routine in several
medical centers despite its characteristics of having
laboratory tests to identify illness according to
medical patterns which are
changing very fast based on the new paradigms of
medicine and which is an exageration of certain
scientific “mysteries”.
This
kind of traditional check-up is most prized by
individuals who pay a very
expensive health insurance plan and search for a
sort of compensation for
the money expenses through a number of, most of
the times, unnecessary exams.
This
happens to be one of the most frequent reason for the
constant increasing of prices of such health-plans. It is a vicious
circle of which the clients, unconsciously, continue to
contribute. So, many things have changed in
medicine as well as the popularity of the
check-ups.
1.
Check-up for a Healthy Life and Better QOL
According
to our knowledgements and principles toward an
integrating process for the improvement of QOL and as an
attempt to pursue a healthy life without diseases, also
with pleasure and well-being, we reccomend what is
called the New Check-up for QOL.
This
Test, at a very
low price, uses only complementary lab-tests required by
the risk groups of patients, it is used as a
guideline to determine the future possibilities that the
client has to stay healthy; to identify an earlier
unknown pathology; to determine the progressive stage of
the pathology already identified with its future
possibilities; and, most of all, to use the moment as an
educational instrument and as a guide for a healthy
life.
PROGRAM
OF HEALTH PROMOTION AND IMPROVEMENT OF QUALITY OF LIFE
IN THE PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS
1.
The QOL of individuals is one of the greatest
paradigms of this decade
2.
The improvement of QOL of the population is a responsability of all who are living in the Nation,
States, Cities, Communities and Organizations
3.
The private organization becomes more productive
and profitable when it provides better conditions of the
QOL to the directors, managers, employees and their
families
4.
A better life
is now one of the main rights of the human-being
and a Long Life with Quality has become a permanent
claim from many communities around the world
5.
Several programs of QOL developed by public and
private organizations have a lack of continuity due to
operational problems requiring complementary Programs to
improve QOL of their Directive staffs, executives and
employees.
6.
The importance for the organizations in reaching
a lower level of ilness risks of the employees.
7.
The need of stimulating the members of the
organizations for a maintenance of good habits and
behaviors toward a better QOL for them and their
families.
8.
The chemical, physical and infeccious stresses
are a growing problem of today's life, associated to
psychological stress which becomes worse when
individuals live in a non-healthy enviroment.
9.
“QOL is a condition reached throughout a
mobilization of different dimensions which are
integrated and harmonized among them in our own living
interpretation” (IQLife).
10.
“Health Promotion is a process that means
joining basic health
actions, disease prevention, protection against
risky conditions, healthy life styles, and social and educational communication for a better living”.
(IQLife).
11.
To join the practice of Health Promotion with
activities toward the QOL,
is the most inteligent and productive way to
reach what every individual wants: a longer life
pain-free, walking, working with happiness, loving and
being loved.
12.
The IQLife- Institute for Quality of Life- has
the Mission of cooperating with our Nation’s policies
to improve the QOL of Brazilian Citizens, as it
offers this Program in association with the
Brazil Citizen Foundation.
PROGRAM:
HEALTH PROMOTION AND QOL IMPROVEMENT FOR CITIES AND
COUNTIES
This
Program is indicated as a complement for any city health
system already established. It can be settled apart from
the existing structural web of health attention
services. Its main goal it is to complement the
activities which are being developed by making them more
productive at lower costs. Operational actions must
be, of course, incorporated, coordinated and controled
by System authorities.
The
Program has characteristics of diversification and
specialization, recquiring consultants with technical
qualifications, from organizations out-side the
System, who will act as real ombudsmen of the community.
PROGRAM:
HEALTH PROMOTION AND IMPROVEMENT OF QOL AT SCHOOLS,
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
Recent
study of documents of the Brazilian Ministry of
Education and its strategies indicates a need for
innovation. Antecipation and excelence are the limits at
which the
schools and the universities
must establish their proposals of transformations
toward the development of the areas under their
responsability.
The
experience that lasts several decades shows that
Schools, most of the times, no matter if public
or private, turns to be much healthier, productive and
profitable according to its better conditions of QOL
offered to their employees, faculty and directors.
A
“Better Life” has become one of the most important
rights of modern individuals. A Longer Life with Quality
is now an important goal and the School has also
a great responsability of that.
The
IQLife offers a very simple, effective and low price
program for the better QOL of
Schools and Universities.
PROGRAM:
IMPROVEMENT OF QOL AT
HOSPITALS
The
experience gained when practicing QOL programs in several
countries of Latin America gave us the assets to develop
a model for Strategic Planning of Improvement of Quality (see the book about) which has a
significant importance when applied to hospital living.
