4. Proposals & Projects Conducted
1. In 1993 submitted a proposal to develop a new system for the
Community Psychiatric Service, the proposal suggested to
split the 3 CPS teams into 6 case managers who can
take a case load and that is almost half of the clients where he
will be given more authorities to manage the cases. All the
case managers will be responsible for one geographical zone
to ease the work. The project was successfully passed the trial
period but was stopped for external reasons.
2. In 1995, after a clinical attachment in day care units and
community psychiatric teams in the U.K, I prepared an
Information Package for the Day Care Unit our Hospital that
consisted of various kinds of new group sessions, therapies.
The Package also included a fully adjusted system to meet our
patients' needs that introduced new meetings, policies, and
roles. Accordingly, conducted a workshop for nurses, Doctors
and the Psychologist working in the D.C.U to prepare them for
the proper application of each session and other related
issues. The project was successfully applied in the Day Care
Unit.
3. In 1999, prepared with one of my colleagues a proposal for
modifying the currently used inpatients' Documentations
which are used by both nursing and medical staff. New chart
were introduced to replace around 4 types of sheets, and this
chart to be used for the whole admission period. In addition,
the proposal suggested changes in the file setting that should
allow easy monitoring of patients' progress in the ward as well
as the O.P.D. The proposal was accepted by nursing and
medical administration but unfortunately was paused later on
because of a plan to use non paper documentations.
4. (Cont d) In 2013, The plan application has been restarted and
now it has been approved by the asst. Undersecretary of
M.O.H for Hospitals and C.Q.I, and D.P.P is ready, and
approved by the chart review committee, application of the
documentation project will start in Sep. 2013 as approved by

committee.

psychiatric patients with 2 of my colleagues, that aims to
prepare patients for future discharge, the proposal was
support by the undersecretary of M.O.H. as it goes in stream
with the strategy of the ministry, the project was started soon
but stopped for reasons that are out of our hands. In 2004, the
project was modified but failed to be started. In 2009, the
project was modified for the second time to suit the current
situation especially that we now have a support from the
Rehabilitation Consultant, and we are working currently
applying the project, and preparing for a workshop for all the
staff to ensure a proper application. The project is under
application.

My responsibility was to assess and provide the needs for the
new ward, In addition to preparing the policies, strategy and
treatment plan i.e. contract, sessions and therapies to be
conducted. I've liaised with the unit consultant that provided

introduced sessions and policies.

collected used linen that causes unpleasant smell and possibly
spread of infection in AlGhazali Building. The proposal is
concluded into fixing ducting system in every level making it
easier to dispose used linen. The proposal in approved by
administration and engineers but not yet done.
9. In 2012, prepared and applied a project of giving almost every
patient under rehabilitation program in the Ibn-Nafees ward 4
a Mobile phone that is to ease communication between the
ward and patients who are frequently going outside the
Hospital which is part of rehabilitation to provide guidance and
help when needed. The project was applied using mobile lines

6. 10. In 2013, submitted a proposal to convert the ward (Ibn-
Nafees ward No. 4) to day care unit that will accept male
chronic patients referrals from wards and O.P.D in psychiatric
Hospital, clients included are those who suffer from psychosis
for a long period which lead to prominent negative symptoms
that are characterized by deficits of normal emotional
responses or of other thought processes, and respond less
well to medication. Negative symptoms lead more to poor
quality of life, functional disability, and burden on family.
Usually these patients are in need for rehabilitation beside
psychotropic medication to overcome response limitations.

two wards according to patient categories psychiatric chronic
Rehabilitation and intellectual disability to facilitate
Implementing special teaching program for each ward,
individual behavior modification program according to
