Informed selfcare means positive attitude to life, to own body and soul. It includes prevention and health promotion, awareness of alarming signs and symptoms and an active involvement on diagnostics, treatment and rehabilitation. It is rational and it is based on the evidence and compatible with medical guidelines. The aim of the project is to develop an integrated methodology od health selfcare, understandable for patients and families, linked to existing practical guidelines. There is currently no systematic support within the process of guideline development for standardized health education and information of patients. The bridge between guidelines and patient’s information is missing. The authors of the project have identified key guidelines, where a patient structured information should be developed as a priority. The complex information on selfcare for web aplication will be created as well as pilot written materials.
Key words: quality of care – selfcare – practical guidelines – general practitioner – internet.
