- Conducting Screenings: Performing blood pressure checks, glucose monitoring, and other routine assessments. - Patient Education: Informing patients about the importance of early detection and guiding them on how to self-monitor for signs and symptoms. - Coordinating Care: Working with other healthcare professionals to ensure timely follow-up and treatment. - Documenting and Reporting: Keeping accurate records of screenings and diagnostic tests to monitor patient progress and outcomes.
