The Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) is an innovative and ambitious initiative, envisaging Child Health Screening and Early Intervention Services, a systemic approach of early identification of health issues and linked to care, support and treatment. This programme subsumes the existing school health programme. Child Health Screening and Early Intervention Services basically refer to early detection and management of a set of 30 health conditions prevalent in children less than 18 years of age. These conditions are broadly summarized as the 4D’s: Defects at birth, Diseases, Deficiency conditions and Developmental delays including Disabilities. Health Screening and Early Intervention Services aim at reducing the extent of disability, improving the quality of life and enabling all persons to achieve their full potential. Twice a year, Health Screenings are organized in Government & Aided Schools for the children under 5 through Anganwadi and ASHA service providers. It is estimated that about 2.1 million children under age 5 and 10 million children are in Schools, Junior and Intermediate College. DEVELOPMENT OF THE APPLICATION (http://rbsk.telangana.gov.in) A web-based workflow system with role-based privileges to handle the service of Micro-Plan, Sub-Micro Plan, Student Referral and District Early Intervention Centre (DEIC) Management has been designed and developed in such way to capture age group wise the health conditions of target age group of children. The system has been developed in open source technology and a mobile application in Android. The system has been integrated with Child Info System of Education Department through web services to avoid the duplicity of child info as well as to avoid the data entry at the field. Using this application, quality of life of children has improved in Telangana through early detection of health anomalities and treatment of children at the age group of 0-18 years.
