13+ Detecting Rheumatic Hearth Disease• Counseling• Antibiotic regimen
mild case
• Antibiotic regimen• Referral to Specialist
moderate case
• Percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy – (valvuloplasty )
severe case
14+ Partner: The Nairobi HospitalInstitutional Support and
Specialized Service Has operating theaters to accommodate valvuloplasty Cost covered by National Hospital Insurance Fund 20 minutes from slums Referral process
Staff case coordinators Provide travel to and from Nairobi Hospital
15+ Education at Mobile Clinic
Required reading of educational materials about the risk factors for rheumatic heart disease Incorporate pictures, visual information Explain strep -> rheumatic fever -> rheumatic disease
causative chain Rheumatic fever detection and treatment
Explain levels of severity and corresponding treatment Hygiene – prevent spread of viruses, infections Provide other tips for preventing CVD:
Nutrition Exercise
16+ Building Patient Relationship
Incentive program Community garden
Located near Tabitha Medical center Staffed by locals ½ produce goes to market ½ goes to repeat patients who demonstrate
comprehension of educational material Creates incentive for continuous care, improves nutrition
and health behaviors
17+ Beyond Eastlands: Work-Site Visits
Contract with employers Offer routine check-ups Perform preventative screenings Disseminate educational materials Important to reach other populations in Nairobi
18+ Beyond Eastlands: Mass Information
Kenyan-Heart Publicity
Encourage faith leaders to publicize
Mass media campaign to increase awareness Radio PSAs SMS site-visit alerts and health tips
19+Role of the Health Worker
Increased cardiovascular disease specific training for workers
Train workers to use echocardiograms and interpret results
Use workers in case management role Increase behavioral counseling role of health worker Encourage community participation—new health
workers
20+Innovative Technology
Use of portable echocardiograms Development of CVD training software for health
worker Use of telemedicine in areas with supporting
infrastructure SMS campaign for site visit alerts and health reminders Implementation of Care2000 ERP and EHR system
21+BudgetSecurity and Insurance of medical equipment 40000
Vehicle operating, insurance, maintenance and upkeep 100000
Staff salaries 60000
Private security costs for vehicle 100000
Partnership cost paid to partners to cover costs 70000

Vehicle upfront 300000
Medical Equipment upfront including Echocardiogram 300000
10000
1870000 5610000
22+Program Evaluation
After year 1 Assess areas of greatest disease density Assess community and cultural response Assess feasibility of work-site screenings Expand to neighboring low-income areas Assess feasibility of additional vehicle for rural clinics
23+Benefits
Estimate of total patients seen: 6,7500 Work site patient estimates: 9,4500 Estimated cost per patient: 59.36507937 Early detection Increased longevity Increased productivity Increased educational achievement Healthier pregnancies
