Referral Mechanism of emergency Patients in Delhi: AIIMS director calls a meeting of all government hospitals
AIIMS Director to meet medical superintendents of Delhi govt hospitals on emergency referral of patients
New Delhi: With an aim to establish a referral mechanism between various government hospitals and the premier institute for referral of emergency patients, AIIMS Delhi Director Dr M Srinivas has called a meeting with medical superintendents of government hospitals in the national capital on October 29
The newly appointed AIIMS director will meet the medical superintendents of the government hospitals in the city regarding the issue of the refferal of critical patients to the hospital, to decide on a policy for handling the heavy patient load coming towards the premier institute.
The memorandum has been sent to medical superintendents of various hospitals in the national capital, including GB Pant Hospital, Safdarjung Hospital, LNJP Hospital, Charak Palika Hospital, Acharya Shree Bhikshu Hospital, Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel Hospital, Pt Madan Mohan Malviya Hospital, LHMC-Sucheta Kriplani Hospital and Kalawati Saran Child Hospital, and RML Hospital.
According to the office memorandum issued by Dr Srinivas, "The emergency department of AIIMS New Delhi is handling around 600 patients a day which has both critical and non-critical cases. AIIMS also receives referrals of critical patients from government hospitals which they are not able to handle either due to lack of super speciality department or due to constraint of bed in the hospital."
"There is no formal referral mechanism between the government hospitals of Delhi for stable patients and the patients face inconvenience having to move from one hospital to another in search of a bed," it said.
The memorandum has mentioned that the purpose behind the meeting is to work towards patient safety and well-being, "To work towards patient safety and well-being, it is imperative to make a system of referral for stable patients between government hospitals in Delhi."
The meeting with Medical Superintendents of Government hospitals and the AIIMS Delhi Director will be on October 29.
