MASGO-CORONADO, Karina Mariela; CUBA-FUENTES, María Sofía e MIRANDA-MESIAS, Rocío. The TOPIC model: tasks oriented for outpatient processes in the first level of healthcare. Acta méd. Peru [online]. 2016, vol.33, n.3, pp.223-227. ISSN 1728-5917.
Primary care doctors must use tools that may allow them to adequately manage time and resources in each clinical encounter, because the health needs that they face are varied and complex. The TOPIC (Tasks-oriented processes in care) model categorizes each encounter in five prototypes and it establishes a set of tasks and standardized processes for recognizing the needs for each type of visit; and, consequently, to respond in an orderly fashion to each type of person. It has a particular utility for the outpatient practice since it allows a cost-effective approach and a greater impact on the health of the population
