The Adult Primary Care (APC) clinical tool provides a comprehensive and practical approach to the primary care of adults in South Africa. It was designed for use during a consultation by primary health care clinicians. It covers over 500 symptoms, syndromes, diagnoses and chronic conditions, providing guidance around the management of communicable and non-communicable conditions, maternal and women’s health, mental health, musculoskeletal health, and palliative care. It was developed using approved clinical policies and guidelines issued by the South African National Department of Health and consolidates these into one integrated clinical decision-making support tool.
An online training package comprising simulated case scenarios accompanies this tool and is hosted on the Knowledge Hub. APC is being implemented as part of the Integrated Clinical Services Management (ICSM), a key focus within the Ideal Clinic Realisation and Maintenance (ICRM) initiative and is also complemented by the Health for All health promotion tool.
