Opd project: Creating persistent clinical encounters through first contact physician user driven EMRs followed by patient user driven PHRs (patient journey records PaJRs) collectively archived in dynamic case reports (EHRs)

The opd project aims to improve health professionals and students OPD patient handling and learning competences that may improve patient illness outcomes. 


This is attempted through regular logging of every patient visiting us in the daily OPD by our interns and students. Senior residents posted to the OPD for that day are responsible for supervising this daily there

Regularly logged data currently archived in links below :




For every opd patient shared here :

Health professionals and students in the opd develop competences to log their:

Sequence of events beginning with the time they had absolutely no problems they can recall. 

Their routine when they were perfectly alright 

Next what happened to their routine once the disease took hold on their lives 

Specifically which part of their hourly routine was disrupted 

Their current requirements from us like if we had to give them a single medicine which problem would they prefer it to address 

Their examination findings with images of visceral fat and muscle mass for everyone among other more specific findings 

Prepare their problem list and perceived requirements list in order of priority 

Formulate a plan for each one of the problem requirements  listed

More here on how they may create a dynamic case report (EHR)  : 


The original project published decades back outlined the conceptual model to create persistent clinical encounters detailed here in the link below : 


The dynamic case report EHR, archiving persistent clinical encounters  is fed by the OPD first contact physician user driven EMRs followed by patient user driven PHRs  (patient journey records PaJRs) 


Key considerations for the translation of the conceptof the Patient Journey Record Systems (PaJR) into 
real world systems was first shared and archived here below :

"Patient Journey Record Systems (PaJR): The Development of a Conceptual Framework for a Patient Journey System. In R. Biswas, & C. Martin (Eds.), User-Driven Healthcare and Narrative Medicine: Utilizing Collaborative Social Networks and Technologies (pp. 75-92). Hershey, PA: Medical Information Science Reference. doi:10.4018/978-1-60960-097-6.ch006 at http://www.igi-global.com/chapter/patient-journey-record-systems-pajr/49246

The key concept lies in the use of regular patient reported outcomes to locate the phase of illness in a 
patient journey.

publications of 2025

Publications by our UG network began with a journal club archived here: https://medicinedepartment.blogspot.com/2025/03/indian-mbbs-students-sig-journal-club.html?m=1
that was later written up as a letter to editor here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40287356/

Work on our second publication began in December 2024 last year right after our presentation at university of Hyderabad here: https://medicinedepartment.blogspot.com/2024/11/technology-end-user-driven-ecosystem.html?m=1, https://youtu.be/goPplnFafFI?feature=shared, followed by plans to write it up for the pubmed indexed journal of participatory medicine following which we received three participatory action research reflectivity samples archived here:https://pajrcasereporter.blogspot.com/2025/12/participatory-medicine-projr.html?m=1 and while those directly didn't become a formal paper our PaJR network students did eventually write up book chapters on participatory medicine using original material from our University of Hyderabad conference presentation in a book released as a part of the same conference proceedings full text accessible here: https://www.atlantis-press.com/proceedings/ilth-24/126014113, https://www.atlantis-press.com/proceedings/ilth-24/126014110.
A month later in August 2025, Narketpally syndrome as another name for PaJR elements flowing together in a regular workflow was released here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40674544/ 
On the same month we submitted an article to the journal of participatory medicine around another patient of clinical complexity and not the original 82 year old patient presented in the UoH conference that originally inspired us to think of preparing his report for the same journal! It was accepted for publication a month later in September 2025 as archived here:https://preprints.jmir.org/preprint/81950/accepted
Current work is focused on an invited paper for the journal "Medicines" and another one that expands the Narketpally syndrome workflow into medical litigation and liturgy that are re-examined using an etymology lens which also went heavily into making the Narketpally paper.

Summary : Complexities exist clinically in making a diagnosis, and organizationally, in the variables and nodes dictating patient outcomes. Clinical complexities cannot be simplified but have to be navigated in an optimized way to improve clinical outcomes.We present our analysis of the complexities faced clinically and, in our local healthcare system.

Summary: We performed this study within our existing framework of a CBBLE (publication number 2018) when we received an invitation from the American Journal of Neurodegenerative Disorders (AJND). Psychoses can develop in patients with brain disorders secondary to neurodegenerative disorders, tumours, or cerebrovascular accidents. We explored the organic psychopathology of psychosis in neurodegenerative disorders. We postulate that movement disorder is an obvious, logical bio-clinical marker towards organic psychopathology of psychiatric symptoms found in neurodegenerative disorders.

Summary : This paper, aims to present two pressing issues—first, strict adherence to guidelines may not always bring the best outcomes and that clinical judgement and critical appraisal of literature is required to improve patient-related outcomes. Second, in a country where nearly two-third of the total annual health expenditure comes from out of pocket, expensive equipment like invasive ICP monitors and advanced neurosurgical equipment may not be readily available and hence it becomes imperative that general surgery residents, particularly in rural tertiary hospitals, are adequately trained in basic neurosurgical care before an appropriate referral is made.

Summary :This report highlights the importance of full and thorough interpretation of patient genetic data to ensure that the correct diagnosis is ascribed [1]. Moreover, it validates the clinical utility of a diagnostic biopsy and the use of patient material for the functional validation of genetic findings as the inadequate assessment of pathogenicity has the potential to result in patient misdiagnosis and mismanagement.

Summary: This report highlights the challenges and consequences of inappropriate overuse of percutaneous coronary interventions PCI. Also, we outline the current lack of shared decision-making among patients and physicians for the PCI procedure. The challenges, inherent in the assumptions that overuse of PCI is evidence-based, are discussed including recommendations for the practice of evidence based medicine for this intervention.
