Resumen:
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading causes of death globally, killing more people each year than all other causes combined. The principal factors that influence the emergence of NCDs are the combination of changes in urbanization, global trade markets, and longevity that has been occurring over decades in wealthy nations but are happening much faster in emerging countries. These changes come through the inability of developing countries to reestablish health and regulatory systems rapidly enough to keep pace with the changes.The consequences are devastating everywhere, but especially in vulnerable and disadvantaged populations. These people get sick sooner and die earlier than in wealthier societies. Usually, noncommunicable diseases are detected late, when patients need extensive and expensive hospital care for severe complications or acute events. Effective interventions are available, and evidence demonstrates their clear and measurable impact on a range of resource settings. Some of these interventions are continuing medical education as a response to the need to maintain postgraduate qualification and guarantee the quality of health care and promote the creation of care innovations that transform the primary health care system.The Carlos Slim Foundation established the CASALUD model to develop innovative public health strategies that transform primary care by improving the delivery of chronic disease management through the implementation of care innovations. This model includes electronic health education with PIEENSO (. http://pieenso.org/), an educational health platform established to contribute to the generation of sustained health initiatives that aim to have a profound impact on the people in Mexico and Latin America.PIEENSO provides health professionals academic tools to achieve meaningful learning and strengthening of skills in relevant public health issues.This model is among the first that includes education for physicians and other primary health care professionals, and focuses on CKD detection and prevention as a part of a comprehensive course on chronic noncommunicable diseases. © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
