    GENERAL HOSPITAL

    Philosophy of hospital

    The ethos of this hospital is 'LIFE IS TOO PRECIOUS SAVE IT AT ALL

    COSTS. Service before self has been the motto of the pioneers of this in always

    situation which has percolated down to next generation who have joined the line.

    The philosophy of the hospital is that no patient should been turned away

    because he is too poor to pay.Pride Values

    V - Value Diversity other cultures, other perspectives

    A - Anticipate what people needL - Listen actively

    U - Understand the power of teamwork

    E - Excel in service

    We all envision a system in which those who give care take great pride in theirwork, and those who receive care are confident in trusting the care they receive.Providing a safe environment with the highest possible quality healthcare is atthe very core of our Patients First philosophy. It is deeply embedded in the fabricof this hospital. here are some of the highlights of our emphasis on quality:

    First, we work hard to recruit and retain a highly qualified and experienced staff.We are extremely fortunate to have all professional nursing staff (only RN's orLPN's) in all of our departments or services. Few other hospitals can make thisstatement. All our physicians must be credentialed before they can practice inthe hospital and are regularly monitored via a rigorous peer review process.

    Second, we maintain an active Quality Program, supported by a Medical directorand the equivalent of two full time staff persons. This program follows up onpatient feedback, and proactively searches for performance improvement andrisk reduction opportunities. For instance, they are currently working to minimizehandwritten orders errors by improving penmanship and eliminatingmisinterpretations from potentially confusing abbreviations.

    In addition, our quality program tracks our progress on national Patient SafetyGoals and evidence based medicine, comparing our results against otherhospitals across the country. Action steps are implemented to remedy situationswhere gaps exist between our results and "Best Practice'. We are one of very fewhospitals having public goals that are published twice each year so thecommunity can clearly see our results.

    Third, a major initiative ,General is continuity of care. As much as possible wetry to assign the same care team to each patient. This helps minimize errors that

  • 8/6/2019 Philosophy of Hospita l 2003

    2/26

    can happen at the hand off as a series of different care providers treat the sameperson. Additionally, we have recently made provisions to have a full-timehospitalist physician available to care for inpatients. This will assure that the careteam has maximum opportunity to work together to provide excellent care. Thiscontinuum of care is further supported by a follow up phone call from a nurse

    shortly after discharge, and the option for continuing services through ouroutpatient departments or Home Health Care.

    Finally, it is committed to having well informed patients and families playing anactive role in treatment decisions. We know that family and patient involvementspeeds recovery. If you or a family member utilizes hospital services, pleaseknow that all our staff welcomes questions and supports your desire to becomeinvolved. Dont be afraid to ask. No question is unimportant. No caregiver is toobusy to stop and talk with you. Some key areas you might want to ask aboutare:

    Medications Expectations and care options

    Comfort items such as the temperature in the room, getting something

    to eat or even changing to a different bed.

    The issue can be resolved.

    Also, never lie silent in the face of pain. Always let your care team know if youare in pain. Should you worry about falling, please ask for assistance if you haveto get out of bed. You and your family are a critical part of your care team.Become involved, it will speed your recovery.

    As with everything, the proof is in the pudding. The main goal of our activequality program is your overall experience with our care delivery system. If youare not satisfied, we have failed, no matter how good your clinical care. Werecognize every patient defines quality for themselves, and therefore, we mustgive you the personalized service you expect. High patient satisfaction is vital toour continuing ability to serve the community in the manner you demand. Werealize that quality is a never-ending journey that requires our daily focus anddedication.

    provides clinical material for teaching and training of the student in such

    hospitals also provide facilities for research both for the teachers and the

    students. The method of teaching the patient in a research cum teaching

    hospital varies from available in a general hospital. Apart from the training

    the patient is used for teaching and research. Here the patient is firsthandled by the trainee who examines him thoroughly ,records his details

    history and suggest the diagnosis and treatment.the case is then

    presented by the trainee to the teacher . the treatment is prescribed by

    the consultant only.

    material for teaching. He is used for research by the teachers and the

    trainee.

    To develop pattern of teaching for diploma, undergraduates and post

    graduates in all the branches of the hospital also as to demonstrate the

    of his experience either in defense services or police services.
