Subject: OCMS USER INTERFACE-- SCENARIO

Hi all,
Regarding the user interface scenarios on medical end, why I feel OCMS going to be helpful, Iam going to give a description and though at first few mails, Iam going to give description, I will start the case flow how its going to be better if made such like this at the medical setting.
As Harinath sir asked me to make it at an user end, I wished to contribute my ideas.
First mail will be of one of my experiences and though it in detail cannot describe the case flow, in my next mails Iam going to give exact medical setting and how u need to work out. Although I have selected best case example where all these factors like information, finance, efficiency, speedy response, rarest circumastances processing and few more titles and also integrated model, Iam going to give you the live scenarios and also the references which u can have direct interaction where u can understand the better understanding of case flow done. Anyway few concepts may be new to some of the members (May not be for all) like patient support groups etc, the manner where they need to be integrated and how efficinet model should be in place if they fall at certain spots.
Iam working a lot about how best things will be at medical setting as I have been learning knowledge about world class medical system.
Anyway please give me the inputs and updates at a technological end for the possible solutions and enhancements.
Regards
Hemanth
Scenario 1--- A case which needs a financial help:
Many a times we do come across many requests by poor to help them financially for a disease treatment. Many of them are unable to approach because of their inhibition or low communication with those whom could help. Even though if they wish to pursue some one, they do not know where to start of as being exposed to some rejections from their surroundings, they will be gone to low spirit levels at once being twined with crisis and medical problem at the same time.
I do know a case personally, one of my friend who is a classmate, Mr. Srinivasulu, from T.K. Padu, Chejarla mandal, Nellore DT. When Iam doing my high school education is a good friend to me. His mother being a case of ovarian cancer, which she suffered from and diagnosed nearly a decade ago or less, as they do not have a proper guidelines and economic support, does not approached many and give up the issue. He studied till tenth standard at that time they do not know about this problem. Also his sister being suffered with disability at the same time since birth, they were in low spirits to make up any issue.
When Iam in medicine, he used to come to my room often in Nellore to see me and mostly till recent times and even when Iam in Hyderabad, doing internship in Gandhi medical college, he used to come to meet me, I think more than twenty times he met me over the last seven and half a year, but never told me about the problem as he gave up the issue because of not making a contribution of ten thousand rupees at that time. He is being resided in other village 7 kms away to my village and does not have a person known to me other than him from their village; I cannot have a chance to know about it unless and until he tells me. If he would have been informed me the same, I would have made it a free operation in my own college as my college has the facility to do those operations for free to increase the patient output for medical students in the department of Gynecology. Even If not, I would have done it requesting my professors and few of my friends processed like kind of poor patient support with our good professors help. Our medical students used to talk even with the management also few times if it involves multidisciplinary effort.
Because of the basic human apprehension to approach somebody, losing some hope and for the initial few rejections continuously, they certainly forget the concept of approaching somebody and also leaving it to somebody would come to them as a gods gift without requiring their approach to them.
But the problem if would have been treated few years before also would be we be able to make the survival. But because the swelling of ovaries almost now touched into top of abdomen, grown from very low part of abdomen, and also near to chest expansion such a huge swelling it grown over the years, we would not saved her even after being treated her few months ago. We lost her the case otherwise if approached me before some years at least a word said to me, would have saved her.
I thought if there is such a system, where even illiterates also can have the facility to call a helpline and everything including the machinery moving the case request (just a doctor can be available all the time, if we taken simple one volunteer hour, as its not new concept, abroad we see many examples, I also mailed few examples to tmad members). So I thought this will be of a great option and once technological solution is being made out in the future, it's not difficult to make it happen. To create such a system of such, I thought ocms first phase is going to be the first step. And whence recognizing the significance of it, I resolved to make it happen.
First apprehension of a human in difficulty is to appraoch somebody and tell the problem, I call it as first block. We see the patients cannot open up mouth even after repeated probabilities of their problem we gave. Thats where I feel technology could play a role a lot as we see simple telemedicine plays an important role now a days.
Few problems may be persist and occur before we transcend into a new innovation that helps a lot all the time, I would be very happy as it also helps the people who help the people. Thats where I wish to work out much.
