CARE SYSTEM 101

This course tells you all about 'CARE', an open source tool used for pandemic management. There is a task on the last level of the course which will be used to assess your performance.

About:

Care system 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.

Objectives:

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.
