The quality improvement initiative launched at Government Medical College Hospital, Thiruvananthapuram, on a pilot basis for improving efficiency and quality in academic, research and medical care services will be extended to other government MCHs also, a statement issued by Health Minister Veena George said.
A special team, including expert doctors from all MCHs, had been in charge of the quality improvement initiative at Thiruvananthapuram MCH and this initiative had been found to be very productive, she said on Friday.
In Thiruvananthapuram MCH, a new casualty has started functioning. The new department of Emergency Medicine is now running a postgraduate course in Emergency Medicine. Triaging patients arriving at casualty and assigning them to medical units for appropriate care without delay has been taken up on priority as part of the quality improvement drive.
