WHrC promotes holistic care models that view women as whole human beings who have physical, emotional and social needs all of which impact health.
4 Pillars of Holistic High Quality Care
WHrC's Model optimizes comprehensive, evidence-based care and treatment for women throughout the world.
Awareness Screening & Identification
Identify high-risk and low-awareness populations through local healthcare collaborations and publicly available data sources
Promote early detection through activation of women and communities to increase communication around education and access to care
Encourage guideline-based shared decision making to prevent unnecessary healthcare testing, interventions, and costs
Optimal Treatment
Collaborate with women’s health experts to provide the information women need to participate in care decisions and treatment selection when applicable
Provide resources that encourage and enable women to “speak up” and advocate for their needs
Engage with health care practioners to develop culturally and regionally appropriate guidelines to optimize outcomes for women undergoing treatment
Assessment
Assess the whole person, including physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health to understand factors impacting women’s health
Advance opportunities along the care continuum to ensure access, evaluate disease progression and reduce delays in care
Ongoing Management & Care Coordination
Partner with regional and national health, policy and advocacy organizations to continue driving awareness, prevention, and wellness to optimize health outcomes
Coordinate referrals with providers and community-based services to promote access to the right care at the right time
