Pediatric ALL Clinical Trial
Official title:
Pilot Implementation of a Nighttime Telemedicine and Medication Delivery Service to Increase Access to Pre-emergency Pediatric Care in Ghana
Globally, leading causes of death among children one month to 5 years old are pneumonia, diarrheal disease and malaria which are treatable early in the disease-course with low-cost medications. However, these diseases can progress to emergencies when access to care is delayed. In response, a telemedicine and medication delivery service (TMDS) was designed to improve nighttime access to pediatric care and treatment. Over 9-months, the TMDS will be implemented in a Ghanaian community to evaluate the clinical safety and operational feasibility of implementing the service.
Globally, leading causes of death among children one month to 5 years old are pneumonia, diarrheal disease and malaria which are treatable early in the disease-course with low-cost medications. However, these diseases can progress to emergencies when access to care is delayed. In response, a telemedicine and medication delivery service (TMDS) called MotoMeds was designed to overcome barriers to seeking care. MotoMeds targets the nighttime period when barriers to accessing care are highest. The TMDS was initially deployed in Haiti and will now be evaluated for generalizability and portability in Ghana. The study objectives are to assess clinical safety and logistical feasibility of the TMDS. The study population is an urban resource-constrained area within Accra and the enrollment period is nine months. The workflow consists of parents/guardians calling the TMDS on their child's behalf, Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) referring severe cases to emergency services, EMTs performing a phone assessment for non-severe cases, and EMTs traveling to the child's household to perform an in-person exam, rapid diagnostic testing for malaria where indicated as per protocol, and to deliver protocolized medications for cases within a predefined delivery zone. EMTs and the protocols/guidelines used are supervised by Ghanaian and US physicians. Clinical safety and feasibility of the TMDS will be evaluated using patient and logistical metrics. ;
