The Capacity Building Framework
Section titled “The Capacity Building Framework”To overcome the “Fixed Mindset” barrier, KCDH emphasizes a holistic approach to Capacity Building that fosters Cultural Agility:
- Consent-Driven Architectures: Aligning with the ABDM framework, data sharing must be built on Consent-Driven Architectures that ensure Ethical Data Sharing and patient agency.
- Change Management (Kotter’s 3-Phased Approach): Real transformation follows a structured journey of creating a climate for change, engaging the organization (through Champions), and finally sustaining the gains.

- Tailored Modules: Customizing digital tools for doctors and paramedical staff to ensure they serve clinical reality rather than a generic vendor vision.
- Clinician control: Physicians can audit all automated processes, ensuring that AI remains a “Decision Support” tool rather than a replacement for clinical judgment.
