About
Faith in Practice is a charitable organization that facilitates remote medical clinics as well surgical clinics in Guatemala. Different teams of care providers travel from the US to all parts of Guatemala for a week of care 30 to 40 weeks per year.
The Challenge
The standard workflow documentation was paper based, documenting initial findings, care provided, and in some instances referral for surgery. With so many different teams providing different care, consistent patient tracking and surgical preparation was nearly impossible.
The Solution
PRO-MAPP implemented a unique digital platform that operates on tablets and networked via Star Link satellite internet. The platform called “Insight” allows staff to register the patient, the clinic team to capture specific care provided, teams can refer a patient for surgery and capture x-ray images for later case planning by the surgical team.
The Result
The latest remote medical clinic used Insight for 4 consecutive days of patient care. Providers were easily trained the night before highlighting the specific nature of the platform that replicates the workflow in a digital format. During the 4 days of clinic, 969 patients were treated, all registered into Insight and each case documented with condition and treatment. Zero patients were needed to be paper documented, and the Insight workflow did not slow patient throughput.
