- Critical patients in emergency will no longer have to wade through crowds, entry arrangements will change from Monday.
- Entry and registration of emergency patients will be done from room number 100 located at the OPD gate.
- After preliminary examination from the CMO room, serious patients will go directly to the emergency; a few years ago, the emergency medical department used to operate from here.
Amidst the increasing number of patients in the Emergency Department of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Memorial Hospital, affiliated with Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Medical College, critical patients will no longer need to wade through crowds to reach the emergency department. To improve patient convenience, smooth movement, and the emergency medical system, the hospital administration has made changes to the Emergency Department’s admission and registration system. Under the new system, patients requiring emergency care will be admitted and registered in Room No. 100, the Casualty Medical Officer (CMO) room located at the OPD gate. After initial examination in the CMO room, patients requiring serious and urgent care will be sent directly to the Emergency Department without unnecessary delay. This will facilitate access for critical patients to the emergency department and ensure more organized patient flow.
It’s worth noting that until a few years ago, the Emergency Department operated from this very location. Due to the ever-increasing number of patients, space constraints in the current admission system were creating congestion. This was causing inconvenience to patients and their families while commuting. Keeping this in mind, the hospital administration has decided to reorganize the previously designated admission and registration points.
Following the approval of Dean Dr. Vivek Chaudhary, a meeting was held in the Superintendent’s room on Saturday under the chairmanship of Hospital Superintendent Dr. Santosh Sonkar regarding the smooth movement of patients and improving medical facilities in the Emergency Department. During the hospital rounds, the crowding and lack of space caused by the increasing number of patients in the Emergency Department was inspected. After this, after discussions with the concerned department heads and officials, it was decided to implement a new system.
According to Dr. Santosh Sonkar, the primary objective of the new system is to control the patient flow, provide immediate emergency medical care to critical patients, and facilitate the movement of patients and their families. Priority will be given to the continuity of emergency services during the changes to the registration and admission system. After the new system is implemented, the patient flow and registration system will be regularly reviewed. If necessary, necessary corrective measures will be taken to ensure patient convenience.
