Innovative Process Sense Care Reach Follow upafter 48 hrs • Developed detailed process understanding and well defined responsibilities through out the organization • Maintained all information related to emergency in Patient Care Records (PCRs) • Patient information is shared with the hospital on arrival • 48 hour follow up with the patients admitted to hospital
Innovative use of Technology Public Switching Telephone Network (PSTN) COMPUTER SERVER ROOM Caller in distress Telephone DB SCCS, CCT & Voice Logger ERS DB GIS DB Dial 108 Nortel Switch Dispatch Officers (DO) Communication Officers (CO) Transfer E R C CO Supervisor DO Supervisor ERCP Conference EMT in Ambulance Ambulance FIELD Base Location Victim Shifted to Hospital Victim Location (Scene) CCT: Communication Control Toolkit; SCCS: Symposium Call Centre Server; ERCP: Emergency Response Center Physician; EMT: Emergency Medical Technician
Innovative Pre-Hospital Care • Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) in the ambulance is trained not only to provide pre-hospital care but also to handle emergency situations • EMT gets support over phone from qualified medical practitioner called ERCP (Emergency Response Centre Physician) located at the ERC • ERCPs are in the ERC round the clock to provide support to EMT and to people at emergency scene until ambulance arrives

A Gandhian Innovation July-Aug 2010
An injured patient needs (i) Treatment for life threatening injuries to maximize the likelihood of survival, (ii) Treatment for potentially disabling injuries to minimize disabilities and promote return to optimal functioning, and (iii) Reduction in pain and suffering (Mock et al. 2004).

Four common triage categories (IDME) T3 Minimal T1 Immediate T2 Delayed T4 Expectant
INJURED YES NO NO NO 10 - 29 WALKING T3 NOT INJURED DEAD SURVIVOR RECEPTION CENTRE OPEN AIRWAY BREATHING BREATHING YES YES RESPIRATORY RATE T1 less than 10 30 or more radial pulse absent or >120/min PULSE RATE T2 radial pulse <120/min
Key Message 1 • Do Triage based on Airway, Breathing and Circulation when more than 3 patients are involved.
