Conditions
Summary
Children in resource-limited settings who develop illness at night are often isolated from care, resulting in progression to an emergency. A telemedicine and medication delivery service (TMDS) is a viable healthcare delivery option to bridge the gap in nighttime care. This interrupted time series study (pre/post) will evaluate a digital clinical decision-support (dCDS) tool. The objective is to assess if the tool is associated with an improvement in guideline adherence by TMDS providers.
