The Jayaprakash Narayan Apex Trauma Centre, popularly known as AIIMS Trauma Centre, has installed LCD screen on which details of patients and doctors attending them will be flashed to help anxious relatives know the condition of the patient brought in the emergency ward. The hospital decided to provide these details through LCD screen to contain chaos inside the emergency ward which attends hundreds of patients everyday.
“We have installed an LCD screen in the emergency ward to which we will feed real time data as soon as the patient is attended by the doctors and nurses. This helps the relatives of the patients to know the exact status of the patient. The details include the line of treatment, the disease, the doctor attending on the patient,” assistant professor of neurosurgery Dr Deepak Aggrawal said.
This way the nurses and doctors are also saved from the trouble of explaining things again and again to the concerned relatives, an official said. Meanwhile, the hospital has also digitalised the MLC (medico legal case) proforma which was earlier filled by hand.
“The MLC proformas are filled in illegible handwriting in haste usually. Now, we have prepared a proforma which requires the doctor to just fill in the blanks. The data will be stored on computer,” Dr Aggrawal said.
