[Community health documentation as an instrument for further developing recommendations in community health].
The local health conference in a North Rhine-Westphalian county of Germany has made proposals to improve immunisation rates against measles, mumps and rubella. Another target was to prevent decubitus by elderly patients in hospitals, nursing homes and in the outpatient nursing. Local public health reports were the basis for the development of (local) health targets in the health conference. The data of 12,830 immunisation papers from 11-19-year old students showed immunisation rates against measles, mumps and rubella from 44% to 14% depending on the type of school. Virus hepatitis B immunisation rates are 32% in the county. There were also great differences between local towns of the county. The decubitus data showed rates from 2.3% in nursing homes to 5.1% in the outpatient sector. It is also shown that health reports and health conferences help to improve local conditions in public and individual health.
