Any registered Homoeopathic medical practitioner who possesses a recognized medical qualification and is enrolled on a State Register or the Central Register of Homoeopathy in India.

A responsible Homoeopathic medical practitioner is authorized to register in the CCRH- HCCR website. Registration in the CCRH- HCCR portal is required for access to this portal.

India has at least 3,45,404 registered homoeopathic medical practitioners, practising in government or private clinical/research settings. Due to the unique tenets of Homoeopathy based on individualisation and the lack of a standardized and well-structured case recording format, there is a paucity of documented clinical cases. In Homoeopathy individual cases contribute to the evidence pyramid by giving an
insight into the prescription patterns of Indian homoeopathic doctors. A wealth of information is lost due to the absence of a Clinical Cases Repository in Homoeopathy which is being developed as a national/global database of clinical cases.

A clinical case being published is a good achievement, but may not contribute to the evidence at a single source of truth, in an analysable manner. Thus, the HCCR portal is suggesting practitioner to upload their case reports prospectively as well as retrospectively, published as well as unpublished.

Yes, it is encouraged to register yourself to CCRH- HCCR portal for submitting your case report.

The case submitted will go through rigorous process of assessment from our reviewers post submission in the portal .Based on the quality of cases as well as user compliance to reviewer comment the cases may or maynot be accepted.

Our policy on obtaining consent for publication of pictures or videos of patients is a subset of our general policy on patient confidentiality. If there is any chance that a patient may be identified from a photograph or other static or moving image, or from its legend or accompanying text, we need the author’s declaration to submit to CCRH-HCCR portal. Images such as x rays, laparoscopic images, ultrasound images, pathology slides, or images of undistinctive parts of the body - or multimedia files (e.g. video, audio) may be used without consent so long as they are anonymised by the removal of any identifying marks and are not accompanied by text that could reveal the patient’s identity through clinical or personal detail.

Alternatively,

• Authors, not the HCCR portal, need to obtain the patient consent form before the publication and have the form properly archived. The consent forms are not to be uploaded or sent through email to the CCRH office but duly uploaded in the relevant field

Submission/upload of state or central board of system of Homoeopathic medicine is mandatory for registration in the portal. A passport size photograph will also be required to be uploaded during registration.

Upon submission of a case report to the CCRH- HCCR portal, it is reviewed within 15 working days and sent back to the registrant for clarifications/modifications. In addition, verification emails are sent to the homoeopathic practitioner. Further action can only be taken by the CCRH- HCCR portal when the case report is resubmitted to the CCRH- HCCR portal. Hence the time taken for acceptance of a case report is heavily dependent on the response of the registrant. The sooner the modifications are incorporated, approvals uploaded, verification received and trial resubmitted, the faster is the acceptance of submission.

Once details of the patient are filled, the ICD-10 coded drop-down list is provided up to a maximum of four levels of disease categories to facilitate the entry of disease diagnosis.
