CARE

CARE is a comprehensive capacity and patient management tool, built specifically for disaster management purposes. It has dedicated features for COVID testing, inventory management, teleconsultation, etc. It keeps the digital record of a patient's health and enables treatment across different healthcare facilities.It also allows the state/ district administrators to have a birds-eye view of the health infrastructure at their disposal through smart dashboards and reports. Health being one of the key elements of disaster management, this tool does a good job at delivering healthcare with decentralised control. The asset management modules also helps in keeping track of the requirement from the field and ensuring effective supply of essentials.Care is open-source software with an MIT license

Open-Source Software:

The entire codebase of this application is available to the public. The software that formes CARE is developed on an online portal called GitHub that hosts open-source software so that engineers from all across the world may view the codebase of the software and contribute towards the development of the same.

MIT License:

This is a license that explicitly allows anyone to use the code-base of the software in whatever way they deem fit. Any person could copy the code, modify it, reproduce it or do any such action without any consent from the developers of the codebase.

What does this mean?

This means that it is absolutely free for anyone to utilize the software. Since the software is built through contributions from volunteers it is and shall always remain free for use.It is truly a piece of technology that is built BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE!!!

Capacity Management: The Corona Pandemic has brought to limelight the shortfalls and limitations within our healthcare systems. One of the major shortfalls in our healthcare systems is that the state administrators or decision-makers are blind. Critical information about bed availability, oxygen availability or stock of drugs, etc. is not available in a user-friendly manner anywhere. There is no central or nodal agency that collects real-time data on usage and demand for healthcare assets and services.CARE system is a platform that makes available real-time data of all subsets within the healthcare system of any identified location. This makes the management of assets within a hospital easier at the same time empowering the administrators and decision-makers to make better-informed decisions.

Patient Management :Our public healthcare system runs on pen and paper. This leads to a multitude of issues like

Data lose

Wastage of time

Reporting becomes tedious

Analysis of large data becomes impossible

Communication of information is not efficient

Large manpower required for data collection and processing

With the digital patient management tool, the treatment given to patients are improved because:

Patient Data is securely stored

Patient gets continued care across different facilities because of seamless data sharing

Close and effective supervision from the administration

Patient also gets better access to their own medical records

Fetching data is quicker, easier and more accurate.

WHAT IS A RESOURCE REQUEST APPROVING/FULFILLING FACILITY?The hospitals, especially during dire times like a pandemic will need constant supply of resources. When such request for resources are made from multiple hospitals, there needs to be a central administrative body managing such requests and ensuring that the relevant requests are fulfilled. Such a body is called the Resource Request Approving Facility. The same can be set up at ward, panchayat, district state or national level depending on the requirement. Such bodies where set up at the state and district level during the second wave of COVID to manage the supply of Oxygen.

WHAT IS A RESOURCE APPROVING/FULFILLING AUTHORITY? The resource requests, once approved by the resource approving authority needs to be fulfilled by somebody. This is the resource fulfilling authority. The resource approving authority, once a resource request is seem as relevant, will approve it and forward it to the resource fulfilling facility. It is this team that ensures the resource reaches the required place. In case of pandemic, the resource fulfilling facility for oxygen was the dept. Of industries and various oxygen plants. There may be different resource fulfilling authority for different types of resource requests. While oxygen plans may be fulfilling requests for oxygen, it may be pharmaceutical companies fulfilling requests for life-saving drugs.

Shifting a Patient:CARE has a shifting module to ensure seamless shifting of patients between facilities.This is achieved by dividing the shifting process into smaller steps and having separate individuals within the shifting team carry it out.

The shifting process may be split into:

Initiating Shifting Request: This is done by the facility from which the patient needs to be moved out. The facility administrator opens the patient card and initiates a shift. Here, the user may specifically mention a destination facility or leave it up to the shifting team to decide that. Emergency shifts may be flagged.

Once the shifting request is initiated, the shifting team gets access to the patient card.

Approving Shift: A doctor in the shifting team accesses the condition of the patient and approves the shift by confirming if the patient does need to be shifted. Once the shift is approved by the doctor, the logistics team gets into action.

Deciding the destination facility: Here the shifting team looks at the health condition of the patient, the place the patient belongs to, and other factors to identify a suitable hospital with a bed availability to shift the patient to. The bed availability is confirmed by the team with the help of the District Level Capacity Dashboard.

Confirming Destination: This step is carried out by the destination facility. The facility sees the request from the shifting team to shift the said patient into their facility and confirms that they have the bed and other resources to treat the patient.

Booking an ambulance: The shifting team members now find an ambulance available to pick the patient up from the initial facility and transport him to the destination facility. To do this the SURAKSHA SUPERHERO AMBULANCE NETWORK is used.

Transfer in progress: Once the patient gets picked up by the ambulance, the destination facility gets a prompt that the patient is on his way to their facility. The destination facility makes arrangements to invite the patient in.

Shift complete: When the patient reaches the destination facility, the user at the destination facility clicks on "Transfer the patient to my facility" to shift the entire medical records of the patient from the previous facility to their facility.With this the shifting process is complete.
