Summary
The proportion of time a person spends in direct contact with a health professional is minute. We can make the most of our direct encounters by following best practices for connection, assessment and respond described in Chapters 5, 6, and 7. But ultimately, we must also consider how to extend the impact of our interventions beyond our healthcare environment into the lives and networks of the people we serve.
