What knowledge do you need to be a health manager?

Now the whole people are talking about health, but have you ever thought about what health is? How to define the concept of health? Some people say that health means not getting sick, some people say that health means eating, sleeping and playing, and some people say that health means being mentally normal, happy and peaceful. All these statements are reasonable, but they are not comprehensive.

In fact, health means that a person is in good physical, mental and social condition.

Health includes two aspects:

First, the main organs are disease-free, the body shape develops well and evenly, the physiological functions of various human systems are good, and physical activity and labor ability are strong, which is the most basic requirement for health;

Second, it has strong disease resistance and can adapt to the effects of environmental changes, various physiological stimuli and pathogenic factors on the body.

The World Health Organization puts forward that "health is not only the absence of physical diseases, but also mental health, good social adaptation and morality".

Therefore, the health of modern people includes: physical health, mental health, mental health, social health, intellectual health, moral health, environmental health and so on.

Health is a basic human right. Health is the first wealth in life.

With the development of society, environmental pollution, food safety, work pressure, family pressure and emotional problems have followed, which have had a profound impact on people's health. Therefore, in order to protect national health and promote the development of national health level, health managers came into being.

In the health industry, health managers can be described as "everyone knows", but for people who have never been exposed, its existence is very strange. Although health management companies have sprung up like mushrooms after rain in China, their work contents and methods are far from those of real health managers. Its development level is far less than that of developed countries such as the United States. It is found that the healthy output value of the United States has increased from 200 billion in 2002 to 20 10 trillion. What does this mean? This shows that people in developed countries, their health expenditure has become a part of daily expenditure, even a large part! The American people attach great importance to health: staying young, resisting aging and keeping healthy are their three mainstream needs in health. There is so much wealth in the health industry that many people want to share it. Therefore, more and more people apply for health manager training.

To be an excellent health manager, you must have some abilities:

First, deeply understand the main purpose of health managers.

First of all, the health manager is not a doctor. Although many health managers will work in the physical examination center, they are not doctors. Their main clients are not patients, but sub-healthy people and healthy people. It is not difficult to understand how to manage sub-healthy people. Why do healthy people need to be managed? Take precautions before they happen. Maybe one second, you are healthy, and the next, you may suffer from chronic diseases such as hypertension and obesity. Tomorrow or an accident, I don't know which will happen first. Therefore, it is the main purpose of health managers to promote the recovery of sub-healthy people and maintain the health level of healthy people.

Second, deeply understand and master the theory and skill knowledge of health management.

A comprehensive and complete health management workflow can be summarized as four points:

1. Evaluation. According to the standard form, record the relevant information of management customers and evaluate their health status. This requires you to have a solid theoretical foundation, master relevant knowledge and understand the healthy signals of information feedback;

2. management. After the assessment is completed, you have a certain understanding of the customer's health status and found health risk factors, so you need to take management measures against these factors. It's like antivirus software found a virus hidden in a computer and wanted to kill it. In the process of management, you need to plan your life, diet, medical care and so on. And get involved in the health of customers, you need to constantly communicate with customers and gain their understanding and support. The process of communication needs a solid theoretical foundation and answers the questions raised by customers; The process of management requires you to master solid skills, such as nutritional catering, involving dietitian knowledge and related medical knowledge. At least you should know what a correct obese diet is.

3. Project design. When you have enough experience, you may not only be responsible for the health management of one or two people, but also for the health management of an enterprise. Project design is mainly to plan a health plan. This is the sublimation on the basis of the first two steps.

4. archive. In order to complete the above steps with high quality and high efficiency, theoretical knowledge and skill operation of health management are essential. Therefore, whether you are self-taught, teaching online or attending formal training for health managers, it is most important to acquire professional knowledge.

Third, we should have some psychological knowledge.

As mentioned above, health includes both physical and psychological aspects. Physical health is not necessarily mental health. Now research shows that many diseases are actually caused by mental disorders. Such as gastrointestinal diseases. Gastrointestinal diseases have been identified as psychosomatic diseases. As the saying goes: phase is born of heart. This stage, not only refers to the appearance, but also includes the physical appearance. Poor psychology will often have an impact on our stomach, and if we don't think about it, it will further develop into a physiological disease. Therefore, while managing health, health managers should not only solve their own physical health problems, but also learn to give psychological counseling to customers. Take people's money, eliminate disasters for others, and "eliminate the roots" of health risk factors.

To sum up, these are the three main abilities to become an excellent health manager. Of course, times are changing and knowledge needs to be updated. In addition to the knowledge learned during training, it is also necessary to consciously expand extracurricular knowledge. It is also an important ability to be good at summarizing and improving in the work of health managers.
