Care system

 CARE SYSTEM 101:

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 

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.

Activity Experience: 

Outcome  

It is important to know about covid 19 and other disasters and how our government gives responses during those pandemic times. 

From this activity we all learnt about covid 19 and it's management by government and other natural calamities like flood, landslides etc., and manmade disasters. 

From this activity we also got to know about CARE 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 and we created awareness about these above topics among rural people. 

Now we have been certified as a valuable volunteer for the benefits of society during any natural emergencies
