| Abstract | If we discard some of the assumptions upon which curatively oriented medical care is based, we can design models to deliver more effective services for those with chronic diseases. Assumptions to be discarded are--that disease processes can be cured through the delivery of a "magic bullet" rather than controlled through continuous surveillance, -that the physician must be an active decision maker and thus act as gatekeeper and monitor for all disease victims, and -that care for a family of consumers must be provided together. Models for the delivery of services can then be designed to provide continuity of care for those with a specific chronic disease, and paraprofessionals can be used as gatekeepers and monitors, in combination with physicians, rather than physicians alone, to give services. Models can be targeted to reach specific high-risk groups within the population at the workplace, the school, unemployment office, or wherever groups routinely congregate for purposes other than health care. Building targeted models requires extensive knowledge of the specific geographic area and its population as well as knowledge of the natural history of the disease and its treatment. For hypertension programs, goals can be set in terms of numbers of persons whose disease is controlled and the number of new programs initiated as the result of the control efforts. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
