MY VISUALIZATION OF GREAT HEALTHCARE CENTERS Dear friends, I visualize a great healthcare center with the following characteristics: 1. Patient is the most important person in the hospital. When the patient enters, the hospital presents an angelic look and all the team members of the hospital always wear smiles. The patient feels that “I am going to get cured”. 2. The hospital consumes less electricity and less water by adopting green building for all modernization tasks. The choice of the power source is solar and wind.
8. Further expansion of the hospital is in vertical mode leading to fast movement of the patient and doctors for medical treatment. 9. There is no case of hospital induced infection to the patients due to bio-contamination. 10.The patients feel that this is the best place to get treated. 11.The hospital is fully IT enabled leading to virtual
3. The hospital premises are totally noise free. 4. All the test reports and treatment schedule get attached to the data base of the patient through Electronic Medical Record without the need of the patient or the relatives to search for the reports. The data-base is updated and authenticated every hour. 5. Maintains the database of all the cases treated by the hospital in the past which are easily retrievable.
connectivity of the patient to the doctor, nurse and the chief of the hospital 24x7. Hospital is also networked with other hospitals nationally and internationally for seeking expert medical advice on unique cases. 12.The daily medical conference, attended by the Chief of the hospital, doctors, nurses, paramedics, and relatives of patients of unique cases, reviews

trees with seasonal flowers.
Importance of Relationship Between The Patient, Doctor, Nurses And Paramedics There was a meeting of cured patients, their doctors and a few social workers in a hospital. One important point emerged during the interaction was, that the relationship between the patient, doctor, nurses and paramedics extends to patients’ family. This in turn, transmits effective messages from one family to another family on advice to prevent diseases, necessity of periodic checks, the dietary habits and the need for life style changes including exercise for good health. Actually, I believe this good contact between the doctor, nurses, paramedics and patients is very valuable. I request every one of you to become a teacher for the families of patients. For reaching the unreached in distant villages in this region – I would suggest creation of tele-medicine facility through satellite connectivity by the Vaatsalya Hospital.

around the country, we have created and implemented strategies that are flexible, cost-effective and deliver measurable results. Of course, healthcare is about healing. But healthcare is also a very complicated and competitive business, built on the foundation of a good service mix, supported by continuous attention to the delivery of a patient experience that is extraordinary and also by effective marketing.

A nurse provides emotional and physical care to the sick and disabled, and they enter our life from the moment we are born to the very last moment of most of our lives. Nursing is a profession which requires real commitment and selfless hard work. This profession also requires a lot of love, passion and perseverance than most other jobs do. Every year May 12th is observed as the International Nurses Day to honor the commitment and self less hard work of the nursing community.
Origin: Dorothy Sutherland, an official in the U. S Department of Health, Education and Welfare was the first to propose to proclaim the day in 1953 to observe the valuable contributions of the nurses. But, it was only in the year 1965 that the Nurses day started to be celebrated by the International Council of Nurses (ICN). On January 1974 it was decided to celebrate May 12th, Florence Nightingales birthday as the day to honor the nurses and May 9 to 15 was decided to be observed as the Nurses' Week. This day was chosen so as to remember the contribution she did to mankind during the World War II which reduced the death rate of wounded soldiers. The Lady with the Lamp as

Hubli: “Work with integrity and succeed.” That was what the former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam had to say to doctors at an interaction here on Sunday. Participating in the inauguration of Vatsalya Hospital in Hubli and an interaction with medical professionals, the former President said that doctors should inculcate six virtues — generosity, ethics, tolerance, perseverance, concentration and knowledge — he said. Emphasising the need for generosity among medical practitioners, Dr. Kalam asked doctors to treat patients before asking them to complete formalities. “A doctor saves lives first,” he said. Medicine and compassion should go hand in hand, he added. He asked nurses to greet patients with a smile, as it plays a major role in curing ailments. Referring to the lack of interest among doctors to take up teaching, he said that teachers should be given a good salary and pleasant work atmosphere. “One should not be forced into the profession. Those taking up teaching should have a passion for it,” he added.

No-frills does not mean qualitycost trade off," cautions Vaatsalya's Founder & CEO Dr Ashwin Naik. "To us, a decent private room need not necessarily mean a room with an LCD TV; there could just be an ordinary television with local channels. In most locations we may not even provide an air-conditioner but we do not compromise on the quality of medical equipment," he says.
