Quality Care Concern is developing a portfolio of clinical decision support and predictive analytics projects to improve healthcare quality in Bangladesh. Our roadmap begins with a review of existing digital tools for noncommunicable disease care and sets out the projects we plan to pursue as service needs, partnerships and data availability allow.
1. First initiative · Discovery
QCC NCD CareConnect
Reviewing Digital Systems, Identifying Gaps, and Strengthening NCD Care in Bangladesh
Connecting Data, Decisions and Continuity of Care.
We are reviewing existing digital tools for adult hypertension and type 2 diabetes care, focusing on registration, follow-up, referral and clinical decision support. Our first milestone is to verify one priority gap with an NCD care team. A Visit Review Assistant is one possible response, depending on what the review finds.
2. Next predictive analytics project · Planned
- Laboratory Turnaround Delay Prediction — Explore whether laboratory teams can identify, early enough to act, which samples are likely to miss their reporting targets. The project depends on the availability of suitable laboratory data and institutional permission.
3. Continuity of care projects · Planned
- Discharge and Referral Review Assistant · Clinical Decision Support — Help teams review whether medication information, pending results, follow-up plans and responsibilities are documented.
- NCD Missed Follow-up Prediction · Predictive Analytics — Explore whether visit history can help care teams prioritise follow-up outreach for patients who may miss their next appointment.
4. Future project pipeline · Planned
Clinical Decision Support
- Antibiotic Prescription Review Assistant — Help clinicians and pharmacists identify prescriptions that need review.
- Diagnostic Test Ordering Assistant — Bring recent results to the clinician’s attention when a potentially duplicate test is ordered.
- Maternal and Newborn Care Checklist Assistant — Prompt care teams to review observations or documentation at selected points in care.
Predictive Analytics
- OPD Demand and Waiting-Time Forecast — Estimate busy periods to help managers plan staffing and service counters.
- Essential Medicine or Reagent Stockout Forecast — Flag supplies that may run out before the next delivery.
- Dengue Admission and Bed-Demand Forecast — Estimate near-term admissions and bed demand to support hospital capacity planning.
Project sequencing will be reviewed as service priorities, partner readiness and data availability become clearer.
