Partner: Shahid Gangalal National Heart Center, Manmohan Memorial Hospital, Kathmandu Model Hospital

Status: On-going

Objectives: The project aims to establish hospital-based data collection systems to support clinical decision-making, enhance patient management, and enable healthcare research across cardiology, gynecology, and internal medicine departments. By integrating systematic data collection into routine hospital workflows, the project seeks to generate high-quality, real-time data that can be used to inform evidence-based care, identify treatment trends, and strengthen hospital research capacity. Dedicated Research Associates are deployed at each site to facilitate data collection, ensure quality control, and support the seamless integration of data into hospital records and research platforms.

Outcomes: As of August 2024, data collection began at Shahid Gangalal National Heart Center through the CathPCI Registry, focusing on tracking patient history, cardiac procedures, and treatment outcomes to enhance cardiac care decision-making. In January 2025, Manmohan Memorial Hospital initiated gynecology data digitization, aimed at improving patient supervision, documentation accuracy, and care quality. Preparations are also underway at Kathmandu Model Hospital to launch data collection in the Medicine Ward, focusing on optimizing internal medicine patient management. Across all sites, Research Associates play a critical role in ensuring data accuracy, validation, and integration into clinical and research workflows, laying the foundation for data-driven clinical improvements and enhanced research capacity.
