Question

what action should be triggered by the information provided by the program leader

Answer 1

1. The information provided by the program leader should serve as valuable piece of information in the healthcare setting as it is evidence based information.

2. The program leader shares information which they have incurred during implementation of the program which are practical details. When any program is planned and strategy is decided, at every step, we may encounter several gaps and such experience will help in gap filling process for the next steps.

3.For example, in the allergy awareness program, the programmer has considered 5 most common allergens like Milk, egg, citrus, fur of animal, dust and the awareness is based on these parameters. However, while running program, he realises that the particular geographical area has predominance of other allergens like industrial waste pollutants, or crop pollutants etc. Hence he shares feedback of adding allergens which are specific to geogrpahy and that will make the program in other areas very beneficial.

4. It will help to maximise the reach of the programe based upon information shared by the leader. The epidemiological parameters will help the better management of the disease.

5. The program leader may come across the atypical presentation of the disease. This information will trigger the view of the disease and its management involving broader approach.

6. The periodic analysis and the information shared by the program leader will also be helpful in evaluating the milestones of the program and restructring and reorganizing the program. For example, while dealing with head and neck cancer , radiotherapy was the mainstay but addition of the immunomodulator drugs have improved the survival rate. So new program will cover management covering radiotherapy and immunomodulator drugs.

7. The public healthcare approach will get new dimension with information shared by program leader. In case of disease eradication program, if they come across even a single case of the disease,they will start eradication program .

8. In case of disease prevention program, the information shared by program leader will focus upon aspects of disease incidene and prevalence, common etiology, the geogrphical indicators , the disease specification, the beliefs , the myths carried by the community. Based upon these details, the program can be made with full proof approach which will cover the information which will clear out the misconception of the disease , the myths and false beliefs.

9. Also the program leader may share that in the interiors of the country, the health facilities are not available and government under public healthcare plan, will try to provide services to such remote areas. It will tell government about its own reach.

10. Also healthcare at affordable cost is basic concern. The program leader may come across many sections of the society which are from unaffordable category, and these people can take healthcare with the help of government schemes, NGOs or corporate social responsibility campaigns. The public healthcare program will be made to accomodate these people on the basis of information provided by program leader.
