Online Management

A TechDoc system has been developed for online management of pharmacies and consultation of doctors and presented in this paper. TechDoc serves the purpose of queue management outside pharmacies, by providing a delivery system of online ordered medicines from registered pharmacies nearby to customers’ residence; checking of symptoms using the free symptom checker that can diagnose a large number of diseases and gives relevant details on remedies for the diagnosed disease along with a video for home remedies of the particular disease; booking an appointment with a physical practitioner through the doctor’s consultation section in case the user is unsatisfied with the home remedies generated by the system. All these facilities are implemented into a single platform – a website accessible by any device, an android application especially for android phones and an IVR system to be accessed by the users who don’t have access to high end devices or internet connection. This innovative implementation helps in easy availability of essential services like, ordering of medicines, provisional diagnosis of curable disease and consultation of doctors, online and promoting social distancing.

The Impact

The era of coronavirus has called for sustained social distancing measures to minimize the spread of the viral disease. Healthcare establishments are reducing the size of their working staff; while others are running their outfits base on shift work in other to ensure protocols for social distancing.  Inherent in social distancing protocol is the potential for generating waiting lines at service delivery points. Healthcare centres in many countries are already inundated with loads of patient’s attendance on daily basis for treatment off mild to severe ailments. COVID-19 has added a further burden on the already frail health systems. Whiles visits are increasing, social distancing measures are to be ensured. Quick service delivery which is an indispensable need of patients visiting hospitals for treatment is shortened. The occurrence of waiting line, an impediment to healthcare provision has become commonplace in most healthcare centres in Ghana in particular. In addition to loss of financial gains, delay and unsatisfactory healthcare could lead to loss of lives. Health units are dealing with the effective management of staff schedules to curtail the impact of COVID-19 and at the same time cover up capacity to meet the added health care delivery demands. Accordingly, efforts to reduce time spent in waiting to receive medical attention is crucial. In this paper we study the queue situation at a case Outpatient Department (OPD) by applying query theory and offer recommendations for queue management. The study was conducted in the month of May 2020. We present also, an approach to determine the optimal number of service windows required to reduce the time spent waiting for healthcare attention. Numerical analysis of the queuing situation at the case department is given also, drawing from relevant equations from queuing theory.

The Covid-19 pandemic is affecting society in various aspects of life. This outbreak was initiated in a laboratory accident centered in Wuhan, China. People are suffering from psychiatric disorders due to the disturbance in several sectors of the society which includes the most important “socializing”. The abrupt step of lockdown taken by the government authorities has led to a severe social distancing. This social distancing has a direct impact on their psychosocial thinking. Due to this lockdown people have started to overthink on daily normal issues which were not completely dealt with. Now due to the increase in time and isolation from society, the various problems associated with this quarantine have been highlighted. The government has enforced lockdowns from time to time. These lockdowns have created not only mental health issues but also physical and social health problems. Along with health issues, the country suffered economical losses and the GDP went to negatives. Many people suffered losses. There were shortages in food and other day to day facilities. With only the essential services going on, people were in a lot of trouble. But listing down the cons of lockdown, we have to believe that this very lockdown was one of the perfect measures by the government. This very lockdown is the reason that the cases have declined to a great extent.

Abstract: Although recognizing students’ demotivating factors (or demotivators) is as important as acknowledging motivating factors in language learning, only few studies are focused in this area especially in the Indonesian context. More specifically, there are limited studies investigating demotivators in home online English learning as response of social distancing order amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This research employed two kinds of data, quantitative and qualitative. Questionnaire with 27 items was the main instrument used to obtain data about learners’ level of demotivation and demotivators as well as to identify the frequency of each demotivator. An open-ended question was attached at the end of the questionnaire to dig other additional demotivators. An interview was also conducted to gain supporting data for in-depth analysis. The results showed that the level of the 198 students’ demotivation was 2.9, categorized as lowly demotivated. The most-frequently rated demotivators in home online English learning were lack of interaction with 78.9% responses followed by 66.2% for increasing assignments and 62.1% for slow Internet connection. In terms of content and material, expectation to use grammatically correct English was the most demotivating factor with 59.6% responses. The study also revealed additional demotivators namely unsupportive parents, doing house chores, and Wi-fi absence.Keywords:     demotivator, home online English learning, level of demotivation
