e­‐Learning in Public Health Management

Dear Readers..!!! Thanks for visiting my blog...!!!

e-learning in Public Health Management (ePHM) course is the flagship course of e-learning at IPH. Started with the primary aim of capacity building of district and block programme managers in NRHM who largely come from management or non-public health background, this course was envisioned to introduce the target group to basic concepts of Indian public health system and also to train them in effectively managing the day to day activities of a district/ block health setup. This course was simultaneously also introduced to professionals who were not a part of the government health set up yet worked in close association with it.

Following two batches and several suggestions and inputs later, the consensus was that the level of the course though appropriate for a novice in the field of public health, is too basic for those who have prior experience. To remedy this (keeping in mind the entry level public health professionals) we have redesigned the ePHM course with retention of the basic components along with addition of advanced topics such as health systems, health management concepts etc for those who want to do understand public health care more in depth. This document presents a detailed description of the structure of the course with brief description of the topics that will be covered.

Structure of the Course: The new version of ePHM course has been designed to cater to the needs of both the entry level as well as mid-career public health professionals. The design of the course is such that it gives the option of incremental learning to the student so that he/she can choose till what level he would like to learn and will be awarded a certificate accordingly.

The course consists of two levels –
Level 1: Introductory concepts of Indian Public Health System and
Level 2: Advanced concepts of Public Health Systems including public health management.

The entire course is divided into 8 modules. Each module consists of four units. Each student has the option of attending a small test before starting each module. This is a test of diagnostic nature consists of questions covering the important topics to be taught in Unit 1 and 2.

If the student is able to answer more than 80% of the questions correctly then he can directly proceed to the advance units of 3 & 4 and can skip the first two units.

This process is aimed at helping students identify the topics that they already are familiar with and giving them an opportunity to directly learn the advanced topics without redoing the basics.

Novel software for Pharmacovigilance : A Pharm.D Innovation

Dear Readers..!!! Thanks for visiting my blog...!!!

On the lines of the Vigiflow software technology introduced by the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission for reporting adverse drug reactions (ADR), the Pharm D interns and faculties at the Al Shifa College of Pharmacy in Malappuram district in Kerala, with the help of software engineers, have designed and developed a new software for monitoring and reporting adverse events from patients.

The software, which is already in application at the hospital attached to the college, is known as Futura AERS (Adverse Event Reporting System), created to support the efforts of the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI) which may find a solution to the present challenges and difficulties in detecting and reporting adverse reactions of drugs in humans. The cost-effective and minimal infrastructure requiring product can be made useful by all healthcare professionals even in rural villages.

This software can be used by healthcare professionals for reporting and retrieving an adverse drug reaction using their unique username and password. The difficulties of paper based systems and manual documentations in hospitals are avoided through this software. The software helps for storing proper database of all adverse events and they can be maintained, retrieved and communicated among healthcare professionals as and when needed.Better coordination among healthcare professionals in ADR reporting and its management is another benefit of this product. Once an ADR is reported on a drug in a particular patient, it remains in the database and can be reviewed upon the next admission of the patient.

India can become a role model to other developing countries with the introduction of this innovative software for inclusion into the pharmacovigilance programme of the country. This can help advance pharmacovigilance practices and thereby to promote patient safety and better therapeutic outcome.

Good News to all the Cancer patients

Dear Readers..!!! Thanks for visiting my blog...!!!

Union Health Minister JP Nadda on Sunday inaugurated India's first pharmacy retail store at the All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) "AMRIT" – Affordable Medicines and Reliable Implants for Treatment that will provide drugs for cancer and cardiovascular diseases at 60-90 per cent discount on market rates. AMRIT will sell 202 drugs to cure cancer and cardiovascular diseases with prices much lower than that in the open market. The government will also provide 148 cardiac implants that will be sold at 50-60 per cent discount at the pharmacy.

"Some of the prices of the AMRIT Pharmacy drugs are strikingly low such as Amrit will sell 'Docetaxel 120mg' used for chemotherapy cycle at Rs.888.75 (93 percent rebate) for one cycle, when the MRP of the injection is Rs.13,440. Similarly, Carboplatin 450 mg would be sold at Rs.1,316.25 while its MRP is Rs.2,561.57," AIIMS Director MC Misra said.

The pharmacy has been opened as a pilot project, but once it is successful, the government will open more pharmacy retail stores at other central hospitals, including Safdarjung Hospital and Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, to sell drugs at hospitals at discounted rates. The government-owned HLL Lifecare Ltd (HLL) will run the AMRIT pharmacy stores. HLL will dispense 195 oncology drugs, 186 cardiovascular drugs and 148 cardiac implants through AMRIT pharmacy. Initially, the pharmacy will retail cancer drugs. By this month-end, it will commence the dispensing of cardiovascular drugs and implants in line with the cancer drugs," says the managing director of HLL Dr.M.Ayyappan.

The government's move proves significant as a total of 70,000 people are diagnosed with cancer every year and 2.8 million people are suffering from the disease. "A significant number of patients (nearly over 50 percent) stop visiting hospitals after two or three cycles of chemotherapy due to unaffordable costs," Misra said. "Some breast-cancer patients need targeted treatment drugs, which cost around Rs.75,000 for a course; a patient could need up to 17 courses. Similarly, a drug used to treat colon, kidney, lung and gall bladder cancer can add around Rs.8 lakh to a patient's bill which is around Rs.1 lakh a cycle," Misra added.
