Screening

Feature Overview

The SPICE platform allows health screeners to conduct screenings for hypertension and diabetes and make appropriate referrals for further care. Screening processes utilize a risk algorithm to determine whether a patient requires further medical attention based on their blood pressure and glucose levels. Screenings can occur both online and offline, providing flexibility and accessibility to Health Screeners and Community Health Workers.

Screening can take place in a variety of settings:

• Facility Screening: Screening within a healthcare facility

• Community Screening: Screening within a community setting, either door-to-door or at a community-organized medical camp

• Pharmacy Screening: Screening within a pharmacy setting

Screening Workflow

• From the Screening Home page, click on the "Screen Patient" button.

• Read and accept the Terms and Conditions on behalf of the screening participant.

• Fill out the screening form with the required details.

• Submit the form to be directed to the screening summary page.

The Screening Summary page provides the referral status (Referred or Not Referred) based on the screening results. Alongside this, it also displays the calculated CVD risk as per the WHO HEARTS algorithm. If a referral is recommended, you can link the patient to the nearest facility from a dropdown menu.

After this, click the "Done" button to finalize the screening, and return to the Screening Home page.

The Screening Home page displays daily statistics on the number of screenings and referrals, offering a quick overview of daily operations. After completing each screening, immediately initiate another one by selecting the "Screen Patient" button.
