A strategic plan for the implementation of a computer- assisted history-taking system (cahts) in rural India

Like many remote areas in the world, the Indian rural population suffers huge disparities and lack of healthcare services, which led to the development of a novel system by Intel health called HxGuide. This paper focuses on assessing HxGuide to serves its mission to minimize the gap in healthcare delivery. The paper consists of a strategic plan with clear identification of internal and external inputs. The plan starts with a description of the target population and the Indian Healthcare system. Like many health care systems, many stakeholders involved in the delivery of health services. The list of stakeholders chosen the ones engaged in the implementation of the system, e.g., community health workers (CHWs), physicians, and Intel health team members. Then, a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis listed, followed by describing the strategic challenges, advantages, success factors, and strategic opportunities for the system. Finally, the paper concludes with a description of some challenges, and the strategy mitigates blind spots. The paper urges a number of steps that could benefit the implementation of the system, including privacy and interoperability sections. These advantageous strategic plans, however, may not be so significant as developing a system that is engaging the communities to build and sustain the system.
