The
deliberations for developing an inter-hospital transfer
protocol took note of the fact that health care facilities
in Delhi are governed and administered by different
statutory bodies. As a result all of them work in isolation
with little co-ordination so far as transfer of patients are
concerned. The committee discussed in detail the matters
related to overcrowding in the government hospitals, delay
in reaching the appropriate health facility for emergency
care, sub-optimal utilization of small peripheral hospitals.
The members were unanimous about the need for developing an
inter-hospital transfer protocol.
To
work-out the details of the protocol three sub-committees
were formed as under :
¨
Develop
clinical criteria and guide lines for inter-hospital
transfer protocol. Resource person : Dr.L.R.Murmu, AIIMS
¨
Logistics of transfer and communication. Resource person
Mr.K.S.Wahi, Special Secretary ( Health & F W ) & Project
Director (CATS)
¨
Identify
the capacity of small peripheral hospitals. Resource person
Dr.N.V.Kamat, Medical Superintendent, Maharishi
Balmiki Hospital
Once
sub-committees are ready with their brief, they would meet
and prepare a draft covering all aspects of inter-hospital
transfer protocol. The draft copy would be circulated to the
authorities of all the government hospitals of Delhi. The
draft and the feed back received on the draft would then be
placed before the next Round Table Conference, for approval
and declaration.
