## The Seven Pillars of Successful Hybrid Care

### 1. Clinical Workflow Integration

<div className="bg-blue-50 p-6 rounded-xl border-l-4 border-blue-500 mb-6">
  <h4 className="font-bold text-lg mb-3">Key Principle</h4>
  <p className="text-gray-700">
    Don't bolt telemedicine onto existing processes—redesign workflows for
    hybrid delivery.
  </p>
</div>

#### Triage Decision Framework

Every patient request goes through smart triage to determine the best care modality.

<div className="bg-white p-6 rounded-xl shadow-sm border mb-6">
  <div className="font-mono text-sm bg-gray-50 p-4 rounded-lg">
    <div className="text-green-600">Patient Request (WhatsApp/App)</div>
    <div className="ml-4">→ Triage System</div>
    <div className="ml-8">
      <div className="flex items-center">
        <span className="text-blue-600">├─</span>
        <span className="ml-2">
          Suitable for Telehealth? → Yes → Schedule virtual
        </span>
      </div>
      <div className="flex items-center">
        <span className="text-blue-600">├─</span>
        <span className="ml-2">

        </span>
      </div>
      <div className="flex items-center">
        <span className="text-blue-600">├─</span>
        <span className="ml-2">
          Patient Preference? → Virtual → Schedule virtual
        </span>
      </div>
      <div className="flex items-center">
        <span className="text-blue-600">└─</span>
        <span className="ml-2">Complex Case? → Hybrid → Schedule both</span>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

#### Care Modality Guidelines

Not all consultations work virtually. Use this framework to determine appropriate care delivery.

      </div>
    </div>

  </div>
</div>

### 3. WhatsApp-Centric Patient Journey

WhatsApp is the de facto communication channel in GCC—build your telemedicine flow around it.

### 4. Cultural Adaptation Framework
