THE PERSONAL HEALTH INVENTORY (PHI)

The personal health inventory provides a better understanding of your patient and the internal and external influences on their health. This image illustrates the many layers that factor into a person’s ability to heal.

BODY & EXTERNAL

The outer layer represents the body and the environment. External factors influence health as much as the cellular environment.

BEHAVIOR & LIFESTYLE

The next layer represents the behavior and lifestyle of the individual. What foods do they normally eat? How often do they exercise? What brings them joy?

SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL

These factors have an impact on health and wellbeing. What are the components of the patient's support network? Are their emotional and mental health needs being met?

SPIRITUAL & MENTAL

The center comprises the spiritual and mental factors influencing the patient's capacity to heal. The questions explore their sense of purpose, meaning, and personal growth.

Whole Person Primary Care

Whole person primary care is just good medicine. It is person-center, relationship-based care. Using a conversation tool, like the PHI, it accounts for the social, spiritual, emotional, and behavioral aspects of health, as well as the environment in which the person lives by using a conversation tool like the PHI.

Whole person primary care requires an integrative approach to be effective. It coordinates the delivery of evidence-based conventional medical care, complementary medicine, and lifestyle medicine.

Incorporating a whole person approach into mainstream primary care practices enables physicians, nurses, and other health care clinicians to:

  • Deliver higher quality advanced primary care

  • Improve patient outcomes and satisfaction

  • Lower costs

  • Reduce burnout

A Whole Person Approach to Cancer Care

Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery are the pillars of conventional cancer treatments. These treatments often cause side effects and affect a patient's quality of life.

Incorporating a whole person, integrative approach allows patients to discover ways to support and bolster their tolerance of conventional cancer care. Whole person cancer care adds self-care, behavior, and lifestyle resources, as well as evidence-based complementary therapies to restore quality of life to patients.

Providers can learn what is most important to patients and what they are struggling with by having conversations driven by the Oncology PHI tool.
