Project Proposal Over the years, elderly clients have been missing their clinics because they forget or confuse their clinic appointment dates. Muszalik (2012) states that this problem mostly occurs for elderly patients living alone and also those who don’t have people to remind them about their hospital visits. Some clients extend this problem to missing their medication, which has an adverse effect on both long-term and short-term health benefits. Missing clinics leads to improper tracking of a client's progress, which may affect their health patterns. Considering the complications and diseases that come along with old age, it is vital to prioritize their adherence to clinical appointments. Muszalik (2012) notes that most clients within this age bracket have a weak immune system and thus need serious attention when it comes to their health matters. To adjust this challenge, we will use a high level of technology being used in most facilities to track the patient's schedules. It would be important to establish an automatic booking system that books the clinical dates and follows up with the clients. With such a system, the elderly will now receive short messages when their appointment date is approaching and follow up if the client fails to attend the appointment. Benefits of the project From the previously conducted researches, 70% of elderly clients encounter risky and serious illnesses due to poor adherence to their clinical appointments and medication schedules. A case study conducted in 2016 showed that only 17% of elderly patients miss appointments due to ignorance. The others either forget or confuse their clinical dates(Stuck, 2002). Considering that more than 80% of patients can be reached through personal mobile devices, it would be easier to send short reminders using the automatic systems in facilities. The project will help reduce the cost incurred by community health workers who do follow-ups through home visits. Goals of the project The main aim of this project is to ensure that almost all the elderly clients attend their clinical visits on the scheduled dates. The adherence is expected to rise to 95% from the current rate, 60%(Stuck, 2002). The project is also expected to minimize the chances of serious and risky illnesses that arise from clients missing their appointments. Based on the outcome of the project, it can also be extended to medication reminders, which will have a significant impact on reducing medication misuse. The target audience of this project is the elderly clients, aged 65 years and above. I assessed this cluster of clients because most health programs tend to associate the high number of deaths from this age bracket to their age. In the real sense, most of these clients perish due to misuse of medications and poor adherence to clinical appointments. n Expected response I expect a very positive response from the elderly clients on this project because most of them have been seeking such help from the medical officers who serve them. However, I expect some rejection from some clients who find accessing their mobile devices as a violation of privacy. Some clients may not understand the functionality of the project, so they might also pull it off. On the facility side, I foresee a positive response towards the project because it will enable them to increase the adherence rates and increase the retention rates. It will also help them reduce home visits by the community health workers when doing the follow-ups.
