1.0 About Jammu & Kashmir

Jammu & Kashmir is a newly created Union Territory in India consisting of two
divisions: Jammu Division & Kashmir Division, both of which are administered by
the Central Government of India. It is located to the north of Himachal Pradesh &
Punjab and to the west of Ladakh. Jammu is known as the City of Temples &
offers plentiful sightseeing opportunities with its gardens, palaces, forts &
religious attractions, the most famous of which is Mata Vaishno Devi in Katra.
Kashmir Valley is famous for its meadows, lakes, high altitude passes, hill
stations, Mughal Gardens, Dal Lake, Shikara Ride & ancient religious sites.

The population of jammu as of 2020 is 13.6 million. There are 10 districts in


Jammu Region. These are Kathua, Jammu, Samba, Udhampur, Reasi, Rajouri,
Poonch, Doda, Ramban & Kishtwar.

Districts in Kashmir Region: Kashmir Valley Region consists of 10 districts, which


are Anantnag, Kulgam, Pulwama, Shopian, Budgam, Srinagar, Ganderbal,
Bandipora, Baramulla & Kupwara.

At present the state has 3400 health institutions, over 5800 doctors, 12855
hospital beds in the government institutions and private aided institutions,
including 4 Medical Colleges, 22 District Hospitals, 2 Ayurvedic hospitals, 273
Ayurvedic dispensaries, 2 Unani hospitals, 235 Unani dispensaries.

5
On an average one medical institution has to serve 3127 persons. 111 hospital
beds and 48 number of doctors/vaids/hakims put together are available per lakh
population.

The climate of Jammu and Kashmir varies with altitude and across regions.
Southern and southwestern areas have a sub tropical climate, with hot summers
and cool winters. This region receives most of its rainfall during
the monsoon season. In the east and north, summers are usually pleasant. The
effect of the monsoon diminishes in areas lying to the leeward side of the Pir
Panjal, such as the Kashmir valley, and much of the rainfall happens in the spring
season due to western disturbances. Winters are cold, with temperatures reaching
sub-zero levels. Snowfall is common in the valley and the mountain areas.

1.1 Health System & Status of Jammu & Kashmir

Health is an essential input for the development of humans. The health status of
the population reflects a crucial aspect of human development i.e. physical and
mental capacity which combined with appropriate skill and competence, forms
valuable human capital of a nation. Human being, the essence of all development
strategies, health constitutes an integral and essential component of the overall
social and economic development strategy.

In Jammu and Kashmir State, “Health Care Services” is important not only for
human resource development, but also for restoring the faith of the people in the
institutions of governance. The main thrust of these services includes; delivery in
the areas of preventive, promotive and rehabilitative health care services at
primary, secondary and tertiary level. Primitive health care system inherited from
the independence period has undergone enormous changes in establishing
advanced network of health delivery system of the State.

Human capital, as characterized by good education and good health is an


important determinant of economic growth. Health finds a predominant place in
three of the eight goals, eight of the sixteen targets and eighteen of the forty-eight
indicators of the “Millennium Development Goals of the United Nation”. Health is
the most important social service sector having direct correlation with the welfare
6
of the human being. This sector assumes focus for reaping the demographic
dividend having healthy productive workforce and general welfare of a State. The
State of Jammu and Kashmir has performed relatively well in providing health and
medical facilities to the people, but the level is still beneath the satisfaction. The
progress of health infrastructure in the State can be judged by the health
infrastructure i.e., the availability of hospitals, dispensaries and doctors.

The social infrastructure falls behind most of the developed states in India. The
social indicators here are literacy rate, infant mortality rate, death rate, birth rate,
status of children and women and level of poverty and rural development.

The Total Fertility Rate is 2.3, the Infant Mortality Rate is 51 [All India 55], Crude
Birth Rate is 19.0 [All India average: 23.1]; Crude Death Rate: 5.8 [All India: 7.4];
and the Sex Ratio is 892 (All India: 933). Estimated Death Rate 5.8 ((All India:
7.4), and Life expectancy at birth 65 (All India: 65.8). [SRS 2008] Health
Infrastructure

In J&K, Government institutions are overloaded: 91% in-patients load is on the


Public sector against 41.7 % at national level. State needs 1666 Sub centres (1907
in position), 271 PHCs (375 in position), 67 CHCs (85 in position), 238 Allopathic
Dispensaries, 2282 Multipurpose Workers (existing 1794), 1907 Male Health
Workers at Sub centres, 375 Female Health Assistants (in position 27), 375 Male
Health Assistants (in position 89), 85 Gynecologists (28 in position), 85 Physician
Specialists (44 in position), 65 Pediatricians (17 in position), 340 total specialists
(135 in position), 85 Radiographers (59 in position), 460 Lab Technicians (396 in
position) and 970 Nurses (403 in position).

Moreover adequate number of Anesthesiologists has to be posted at District and


Sub-District Hospitals. Blood Banks have to be made fully functional and
responsive to the needs of population. Appropriate Laboratory facility including
trained manpower is a necessity.

At present the state has 3400 health institutions, over 5800 doctors, 12855
hospital beds in the government institutions and private aided institutions,
including 4 Medical Colleges, 22 District Hospitals, 2 Ayurvedic hospitals,
7
273 Ayurvedic dispensaries, 2 Unani hospitals, 235 Unani dispensaries.. On
an average one medical institution has to serve 3127 persons. 111 hospital
beds and 48 number of doctors/vaids/hakims put together are available per
lakh population.

Community Health Centre (CHC) is a 30 bedded hospital/Referral Unit of 4 PHCs


with specialised services. Primary Health Centre (PHC): A referral unit for 6 sub-
centres, 4-6 bedded manned with a Medical Officer in-charge and 14 subordinate
paramedical, Sub Centre: Most peripheral contact point between Primary Health
Care System and community manned with one MPW(F)/ANM and one PMW (M)/or
Pharmacist.

Average Radial Distance Covered By Primary Health Institutions. Impediments to
Growth: Low density population, difficult terrain (problem of accessibility), poor
road connectivity, limited presence of private sector/NGOs and private sector
largely owned/operated by in-service doctors. The slow growth of the state can be
attributed to various factors. The civil unrest in Kashmir during the past two
decades has been a major factor. Low productivity in agriculture and allied sectors
has impeded employment and income generation. Poor industrial infrastructure
along with the poor investment climate has left the industrial sector in its infant
stage. There has not been a suitable strategy for the potential sectors to achieve
higher economic growth. Lack of sound fiscal management has also been
responsible for the poor economic growth of the state. Challenges and
opportunities

As a state with unique features and a strategic location, the speedy


development needs an integrated approach. Sound policy and good governance
can lead the state to a faster development path. District and Sub-district hospitals
must be strengthened. The infrastructure of the hospitals: buildings, space,
technology, latest biomedical equipment (like CT scan machines, ultrasound

8
machines, X-ray equipment, Auto analysers, etc) has to be upgraded. The problem
of shortage of manpower should be addressed. A scientific human resource
development program must be a top priority. Qualification and experience need
due consideration while recruiting technicians, nurses and other staff. Patients
should be looked after by appropriately qualified nurses and paramedics and not
by unskilled persons. Facilities need to be provided to the district and Sub-District
hospitals so that they remain functional 24x7. Emergency Medical Services are
essential part of healthcare delivery. Functional Emergency Department (Casualty
wards) should be set up at all the district hospitals.

There is a need to streamline the functioning of the Out Patient Department’s.


Residential facilities to doctors should be provided at the district hospitals so that
they remain available 24x7.

The bed strength of the District hospitals has to be increased. Mental Health has
been neglected for far too long. It needs our urgent attention. Birthing Centres at
strategic locations must be provided to take care of mother and child. Doctors
working in far flung areas should be given incentives like rural service allowances.
Government must invest reasonably in imparting hands-on training to doctors
and paramedics by arranging regular aggressive Continuous Medical Education
Programmes both at district and state levels which will help them to enhance their
knowledge and skills. Competencies of Health Professionals have to be
continuously enhanced. Only proficient staff can provide quality care. Special
attention must be given to the training of doctors and nurses in Critical care
including Trauma management.

All training programs (Symposia, Conferences, Workshops, Seminars) must fetch


Credit Points to those who attend it. Earning of credit points should be made
essential for professional growth of doctors. District Hospitals should be made a
hub of health care activities and designated as teaching centres for doctors and
nurses so far Internship and Residency programmes are concerned. These
hospitals should be managed by professionally qualified Hospital Administrators.
Quacks that are playing havoc with the lives of poor and vulnerable populations
must be brought to book. Drugs should be dispensed by the chemists against a

9
proper prescription by a qualified doctor. Deviations by the chemists need to be
dealt under rules.

A proper Referral System must be in place to treat the Right patient at the Right
Place at the Right Time. The system needs regular monitoring by higher
authorities. Referring institutions/doctors must be made accountable for it and
performance determined with proper feedback from referral centres to the referring
doctors (two-way).

Arrangements can be made to make CHCs functional round-the-clock and PHCs


can work in two shifts. Quality Assurance must be at the heart of all health
facilities. Mechanisms have to be in place to measure the outcome of interventions
in accordance with principles of Evidence Based Medicine. Clinical Audit is a
necessity for improvising patient care. A robust Health Information System
including Electronic Medical Records is an inescapable necessity for planning,
policy making and continuity of care. Networking of healthcare facilities by
combining all the three levels of care through Telemedicine is required.

The impact of service standards rests to a great extent on how staff work and how
they are facilitated in what they do. A changing workplace: Healthcare
professionals expect the organisations they work for to provide high-quality care.
They want healthy and efficient workplaces that enhance the well-being of patients
as well as themselves, allowing convenient and rapid access to medical expertise.
Innovation in delivery: While acute hospitals offer increasingly sophisticated and
effective treatments, there is also a policy drive to shift less demanding care closer
to the home, and to integrate it with other community services. Improving staff
recruitment, retention and effectiveness: the impact of workplace design is
significant enough to affect productivity, attachment to the workplace and levels of
staff retention. Research into the therapeutic effect of environments shows how
their design can affect health outcomes for patients and improve the performance
of staff.

Besides that, considerable achievements have been made to improve health


standards such as life expectancy, child mortality, infant mortality and maternal
mortality. The selected health indicators of Jammu and Kashmir and its adjoining
States are shown in Table II.

In comparison to its adjoining States, Jammu and Kashmir fairs poorly with Delhi
in all health parameters whereas it is at a better position as compared to Uttar
Pradesh and Haryana. Punjab and Himachal Pradesh are also comparatively
better than Jammu and Kashmir. Couple Protection Rate (CPR) in Jammu and
Kashmir State is very low as compared to National level and its other adjoining
states. The main reason of the low Couple Protection Rate is that the traditional

11
attitudes against Family Planning are still a big barrier against the universal or
large scale use of birth control devices.

J&K identified 12 high delivery load Facilities, six each in Srinagar and Jammu
division from 9 districts (one aspirational and 8 non-aspirational) which includes 4
Medical colleges, 3 District hospitals, 2 sub-district hospitals and 3 CHCs
considering that it will give over all status of the UT of J&K for designing
appropriate strategy. NIPI team conducted assessments from 4-8 January 2021.
The assessments were successfully completed in 6 facilities of Jammu division
(MGS hospital Jammu, SDH Akhnoor, CHC Katra, DH Udhampur, SDH
Sunderbani and DH Rajori).

1.2 Changing face of Healthcare in Jammu and Kashmir

In 2018, India launched Ayushman Bharat – one of the most ambitious health
missions ever to expand Universal Health Coverage, especially in rural and
vulnerable populations. This initiative has been designed to meet Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) and its underlying commitment, which is to “leave no
one behind.”

The aim is to provide essential health services throughout the country, through
the four pillars of this programme:

 Health and Wellness Centres (HWCs)


 Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY)
 Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission
 Pradhan Mantri - Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission

As a part of this process, the Government of India has been working towards
transforming the landscape of healthcare in Jammu & Kashmir as well. There are
several new initiatives being launched in J&K, which have helped in improving the
infrastructure, and overall healthcare facilities. Through health schemes and new
development projects, the healthcare sector in Jammu and Kashmir has made
great strides, and several milestones have been achieved over the past few years in
the state.
12
Other contributing factors contributing to the healthcare factors are

NUTRITIONAL STATUS

Food is very important factor that has an impact on woman’s health. A healthy
mother can give birth to a healthy child. A woman who eats balanced diet does not
suffer from severe anaemia. Anaemia is a major health problem in State, especially
among women and children. More than half of women in Jammu and Kashmir (52
percent) have anaemia, including 37 percent with mild anaemia, 13 percent with
moderate anaemia, and 2 percent with severe anaemia.

Children’s nutritional status in Jammu & Kashmir has improved since NFHS-3 by
all the three measures. Stunting decreased from 35 percent to 27 percent in the
10 years between NFHS-3 and NFHS-4, and the percentage of children who are
underweight decreased from 26 percent to 17 percent.

SANITATION

Sanitation coverage, which ought to be a way of life to safeguard health, is


inadequate in Jammu and Kashmir State. Access to sanitation facilities is still a
challenge- almost 50 percent of households have no toilets. Furthermore, the
practice of open defection in Jammu and Kashmir State remains a major
challenge.

In India, only 50 per cent of households had access to sanitation facilities. In


Jammu and Kashmir State 50 per cent of households were without toilets, and
thus there was a greater possibility of open defection in the state. The proportion
of households with toilet facilities was significantly higher in urban areas (85.5
percent) than rural areas. It should be noted that in rural India as many as 61.5
per cent of households were without toilets. Thus, it is not surprising that in the
rural areas the population has many health problems.

2.0 About AIIMS

The All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) is a group of autonomous


government public medical universities of higher education under
the jurisdiction of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare , Government of India.
The first AIIMS was established in 1956 under the All India Institute of Medical
Sciences Act, 1956.Originally proposed by the then Prime Minister of
India Jawaharlal Nehru for establishment in Calcutta, it was established in New
Delhi following the refusal of Chief Minister of West Bengal Bidhan Chandra Roy.
[
These institutes have been declared by an Act of Parliament as Institutes of
National Importance. AIIMS New Delhi, the forerunner institute, was established
in 1956. Since then, 24 more institutes were announced. As of January 2022,
nineteen institutes are operating and five more are expected to become operational
until 2025.

All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Vijaypur is a public institute of national


importance. public medical school the medical school and hospital based in
Vijaypur, Samba district, Jammu and Kashmir India, and one of the All India
Institutes of Medical Sciences. The cabinet of Government of India approved the
proposal for establishment of AIIMS Jammu under Pradhan Mantri Swasthya
Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY) in January 2019. The foundation stone for AIIMS
Jammu project was laid by Shri Narendra Modi, Hon’ble Prime Minister on
03.02.2019.

3.0 CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE

A Centre of Excellence is an area of health care specialization in a medical


centre that is recognized by the medical community as providing the most expert
and highest level of care. A clinical service is designated as a Centre of
Excellence when it meets these criteria:

• A comprehensive clinical continuum of care


• Quality differentiation of services and technology
• Commitment to education and research
• Clinical and administrative leadership
• Community impact and market prominence

A Centre of Excellence means more focused care in a critical medical field. It


means access to a full range of treatment options and quality care. The doctors
who treat are so qualified in their specialty that they are entrusted with training
future doctors in the field. And it means that every patient can be assured that
we are focused on improving treatment protocols, programs and outcomes for
every patient.

It is a program within a healthcare institution which is assembled to supply an


exceptionally high concentration of expertise and related resources cantered on a
particular area of medicine, delivering associated care in a comprehensive,
interdisciplinary fashion to afford the best patient out-comes possible.

Specialized programs within healthcare institutions which supply exceptionally


high concentrations of expertise and related resources Centred on particular
medical areas and delivered in a comprehensive, interdisciplinary fashion—afford
many advantages for healthcare providers and the populations they serve.

1. Organization Design- In a centre of excellence, work responsibilities and


resources associated with addressing a particular medical condition are

18
centralized into a functional organizational subunit with responsibilities for
delivering the full continuum of care, often within a single medical building.

2. Service space Design- Upgraded materials, design, and workmanship


characterize the services capes of properly assembled centres of excellence,
carrying the excellence theme across all features of the environment. While
these sorts of upgrades are common in most any quality healthcare
establishment, centres of excellence take a critical additional step, customizing
entire services capes to serve patients experiencing the particular medical
conditions addressed by the given centres.

3. Personnel- The most notable features of centres of excellence pertains to the


depth and breadth of qualifications possessed by their personnel. Indeed,
extensive reservoirs of skill and experience reside within centres of excellence
and, in keeping with the specialization characterizing this delivery model, the
skills possessed by staff members specifically pertain to the medical conditions
addressed by the given centres. These experts are assembled via carefully
planned organizational structures into collaborative, interdisciplinary teams
and directed in a manner to deliver exceptional care, something facilitated by
open communication, including formal opportunities to share experiences

4. Medical Care- Possessing a deep understanding of its patient populations,


Well-equipped services capes and expert workforces converge via effective
organization designs to permit a level of medical care that is difficult to match
outside of the centre of excellence delivery model. These various elements are
carefully woven together to form synergies which yield an integrated,
comprehensive continuum of care designed to support patients from their
initial presentation through to completion of service delivery.

19
Seven Pillars of Excellence in healthcare

 Safety pertains to overall care quality, patient outcomes, and team


commitment to quality improvement.

 Satisfaction relates to patient’s perception of excellent care, department


reputation, and efforts to advance stature.

 Solvency addresses current opportunities for fiscal improvement through


optimal coding, test utilization and lean processes.

 Space represents the functionality of the facility and equipment from both the
clinical team and patient perspective.

 Staff incorporates physicians and nurse credentials, team staffing levels and
retention, and professional satisfaction.

 Support involves relationships with administration and medical staff, adequacy


of on-call coverage, and involvement in emergency department-wide
committees.

 Systems refer to work flow processes, care pathways, and technological


advances, especially in computerization .

7.0 Proposal Statement

The Establishment of centre of Excellence in Trauma Sciences and Institute of


Traumatology being proposed in the AIIMS Jammu Campus. This Proposal has
been prepared in keeping the considerations of planning of centre of excellence
and its need in the region. The Proposed Centre of Excellence of Trauma sciences
have been prepared in accordance with the needs of the community.

This Proposal presents the outlined view for Establishment of centre of Excellence
in Trauma Sciences and institute of Traumatology. It gives a brief idea about the
need of the hospital, Services to be provided by the hospital, resource requirement
including manpower, hardware & software, Equipment requirement,
Infrastructure requirement with space plan for the various service gone to be
being provided by the hospital and other cost implications including capital and
operational costs of the Centre.

This will make a platform for the commencement of project with a proper
understanding and strategic approach which shall lead to the foundation of
health care specialization providing the most expert and highest level of care. A
Centre of Excellence shall consist of comprehensive clinical continuum of care,
Commitment to education and research Clinical and administrative leadership,
Community impact and market prominence leading to an excellence in the field
of healthcare.

8 .0 Statement of Need

The Proposed Centre of Excellence of Trauma sciences will provide a platform to


the health workers and the community leading to a world class centre of
treatment. Emergencies and accidents are common place in all parts of India.
Every day, India faces the dual challenges posed by emergencies related to
infections and communicable diseases and those related to chronic diseases and
trauma.

The majority of "emergency care" is typically given in rooms known as Casualty or


Accident rooms in hospitals in India. For those working in emergency care, formal
education and specialised training are neither required nor available.

In India, there are hardly any specialised trauma centres or professional trauma
surgeons. Clinical decisions are frequently delayed as a result of the lack of clearly
defined duties among specialists. Patients with multi-system injuries are more at
danger. The majority of "emergency care" is typically given in rooms known as
Casualty or Accident rooms in hospitals in India. For those working in emergency
care, formal education and specialised training are neither required nor available.
The doctors work in the Causality/Accident rooms and don't have any specialised
training in emergency care. The process to designate emergency medicine as a
separate medical specialty has just lately been started.

Pre-hospital care is being provided by the state government regulated ambulances


in many states by Emergency Management and Research Institute with a common
toll-free number 108.

The provision of emergency services is enshrined in India’s Constitution. As per


the Article 21 of India’s Constitution “right to life”, if any hospital fails to provide
timely medical treatment to a person result’s in the violation of person’s “right to
life”. India always had a disproportionately small health budget because of its

37
ambitious growth aspiration and fastest growing population, with one doctor for
every 1,700 people and 21% of the world’s burden of disease. In India almost 23%
of all trauma is transportation-related, with 13,74 accidents and 400 deaths every
day on roads. The rest of the 77.2% of trauma is related to other events such as
falls, drowning, agriculture related, burns, etc. According to World Health
Organization, India has the highest snakebite mortality in the world estimates it at
30,000 every year.

Definitive care for victims with emergencies is offered by government hospitals,


corporate hospitals and a large number of small clinics. Government hospitals
generally offer free care, but the quality of that care differs between centres. Most
university hospitals provide a reasonable level of emergency care. District
hospitals often lack trained staff, adequate infrastructure, and supply of
consumables.

There are no dedicated trauma surgeons and very few designated trauma centres
in India. Orthopedic surgeons lead the trauma response in 50% of facilities. In the
remainder; the responsibility is not clearly defined. In the absence of defined roles
amongst specialists, clinical decisions are often delayed. Multi-system injury
patients are at the greatest risk. Typically, most of the “emergency care” in the
hospitals in India is provided in areas known as Casualty or Accident rooms.
Formal education and specialty training in emergency care are neither available
nor mandatory for personnel involved in emergency care. These Causality/
Accident room physicians lack any specific training in emergency medicine.
Proceedings have only recently been initiated to recognize Emergency medicine as
a distinct medical discipline.

Residents posted in these ‘rooms’ often rotate from various specialties such as
surgery, orthopaedics, and medicine and have little commitment towards patient
management. These physicians are often waiting to retake the All India Entrance

38
Examination in the hope of securing postgraduate position in established fields
recognized by the MCI.

In some hospitals, emergency rooms (ERs) are traditionally divided into separately
run medical and surgical teams. With this division it becomes very difficult to
deliver quality, cost-effective care. In many hospitals, physicians staffing the
emergency rooms lack the resources and knowledge to manage the wide variety of
emergencies. They therefore function as ‘postal carriers’ who ‘deliver ‘victims to
the respective specialties. The most junior and inexperienced staff frequently treat
the most seriously injured patients.

According to Govt of India Guidelines for Trauma Center Level 1, Level 2,
Level 3 have been kept in considerations while making the proposal.
Moreover, to fit in the stature of AIIMS, this proposal has been made in
accordance with govt. guidelines with certain Modifications. The
Guidelines on trauma Centre are as:

The trauma care network has been so envisaged that no trauma victim has to be
transported for more than 50 kilometers and a designated trauma care facility is
available at every 100 Km. A Trauma Care Facility often referred to as ͚Trauma
Centre is a healthcare institution that has the resources and capabilities
necessary to provide trauma services at a particular level to injured patients.
Trauma center designation criteria set strict requirements for staffing, specialist
availability, response times, training, quality improvement and community
education. This facility verification and designation is an important foundation for
the success of an inclusive trauma system. Under this scheme, Trauma Care
Facilities have been categorized into four levels:

Level III Trauma Care Facility

Provides initial evaluation and stabilization (surgically if appropriate) to the


trauma patient. Comprehensive medical and surgical inpatient services would be
made available to those patients who can be maintained in a stable or improving
condition without specialized care. Emergency doctors and nurses are available
round the clock. Physicians, surgeons, Orthopaedic surgeon and Anaesthetist
would be available round the clock to assess, resuscitate, stabilize and initiate
transfer as necessary to a higher-level Trauma Care Service. Such hospitals will
have limited intensive care facility, diagnostic capability, blood bank and other
supportive services. The district/ tehsil hospitals with a bed capacity of 100 to
200 beds would be selected for level III care.

41
Level II Trauma Care Facility

Provides definitive care for severe trauma patients. Emergency physicians,


surgeons, Orthopaedicians and Anaesthetists are in-house and available to the
trauma patients immediately on arrival. It would also have on-call facility for
neurosurgeons, paediatricians. If neurosurgeons are not available, general
surgeons trained in neuro surgery for a period of 6 months in eminent institutions
would be made available 24*7. The centre should be equipped with emergency
department, intensive care unit, blood bank, rehabilitation services, broad range
of comprehensive diagnostic capabilities, and supportive services. The existing
medical college hospitals or hospitals with bed strength of 300 to 500 should be
identified as Level II Trauma Centre.

Level I Trauma Care

Facility will provide the highest level of definitive and comprehensive care for
patient with complex injuries. Emergency physicians, nurses and surgeons would
be in-house and available to the trauma patient immediately on their arrival. The
services of all major super specialties associated with trauma care would be
available 24*7. Due to high levels of skill, specialists and infrastructure required,
Level I Trauma Centres should be only in medical college hospitals.

42
43
9.0 Scope
Trauma Centre offers its services to patients whose medical needs can be met within
the capability of the Hospital’s staff and facilities. scope of services includes inpatient
and outpatient diagnosis and treatment as well as provide emergency service. All
departments collaborate to provide the best care possible for our patients, to improve
outcomes, and achieve our mission, vision and goals.

Each individual area of the hospital will have a defined scope of services which
includes the types and ages of patients served, the hours of operation, staffing, the
types of services provided, and the goals or plans to improve quality of service.

Patients can expect appropriate procedures, treatments, interventions and care will be
provided according to established policies, procedures, protocols and order sets that
have been developed to ensure patient safety and positive outcomes. Appropriateness
of procedures, treatments, interventions, and care will be based upon patient
assessments, re-assessments, and desired outcomes.

Trauma center is fully licensed and accredited as an emergency acute care hospital
and is licensed for 400 beds. The hospital offers primary, specialty as well as provide
emergency services. These professional services are offered in a caring and
compassionate manner.

idea about the need of the hospital, Services to be provided by the hospital,
resource requirement including manpower, hardware & software, Equipment
requirement, Infrastructure requirement with space plan for the various service
gone to be being provided by the hospital and other cost implications including
capital and operational costs of the Centre.

The Proposal is about the establishment of Centre of Excellence in the Jammu.


This Proposal will make a platform for the commencement of project with a
proper understanding and strategic approach which shall lead to the foundation
of health care specialization providing the most expert and highest level of care.
A Centre of Excellence shall consist of comprehensive clinical continuum of
care, Commitment to education and research Clinical and administrative
leadership, Community impact and market prominence leading to an excellence
in the field of healthcare.

Centre of Excellence will be more focused care in a critical medical field. Will
lead to access to a full range of treatment options and quality care. Qualified
doctors in their specialty will be entrusted in training of future doctors in the
field, assuring the improving treatment protocols, programs and outcomes for
every patient.

The Proposal provides all relevant detail to enable to make necessary decisions
regarding the project. The Proposal contains the information regarding the
stipulated time required for the completion of the project with cost implications for
capital as well as operationalising the centre of excellence.

The Trauma Centre will help to access to an international, expert faculty and

53
innovative, technology-enhanced learning. We can take part in interactive
discussion forums and one-to-one tutor sessions. Medical Workforce will have a
practical knowledge and experience of decision-making so you can deliver safe,
professional core clinical functions in the management of seriously injured
patients.
It offers a module for the knowledge on patients with burns injuries. It will allow
to develop a more critical and evaluative approach to the care of burns patients,
through a complete overview of assessment, stabilization and management in
respect to the most recent literature.
This facility will provide a background into both military and civilian austere
events. It will cover triage, pre-hospital care, mass casualty management and
surge capacity, chemical and biological trauma. The latest techniques will be
proposed and critically evaluated.

It is supported by all medical and surgical subspecialty services. It is equipped


with the latest state-of-the-art technology and equipment, including 'intelligent
ventilators", neuro-monitoring devices, ultrasound, and point-of-care testing and
video airway devices.

Centre of Excellence, linked to the Education department, with presence of


fellows, and residents. Residents (from general surgery, general medicine, Eye,
ENT, Pediatric, Obs. & Gyn, orthopedics, Transplant Program, Reconstructive
surgery and neurosurgery, Burn unit) are actively part of the clinical team.

The patients gone to be admitted will be mainly polytrauma patients with varying
degrees and combinations of head, chest, abdominal, pelvic, spine, and orthopedic
injuries, or isolated-TBI.

The main processes that are involved in the trauma in as part of this network are:
patient flow, clinical practice guidelines, evaluation and procurement of

54
technologies, and in general, taking part in any process that pertains to critical
care.
A multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals
participate in these projects, and meet for review of project. It is well staffed with
highly trained and qualified personnel, and utilizes the latest in technology and
state-of-the-art equipment. It performs very well, when compared to other similar
units in the world, and achieves a comparable, or even lower mortality rate. With

15.1 TRAUMA CARE FACILITY: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

A Trauma Care Facility can be a specialized area within a hospital building, a


separate building adjunct to an existing hospital or a standalone facility self-
sufficient in all aspects. The core areas in all these three types remain consistently
the same as detailed below, the difference being primarily in the scope of support
facilities that needs to be planned for.

CORE AREAS IN A TRAUMA CARE FACILITY

Patient access

 Ambulance entrance
 Walking entrance

Patient care areas

 Triage & Reception area


 Resuscitation area
 Treatment area
 Ambulatory care area
 Waiting Area
 Observation Ward
 Isolation rooms

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Patient care in a Trauma Care Facility is uniquely time-dependent. The length of


time spent by patients waiting for, or receiving care, the number of patients
attending and the scope of services offered influences the design requirements for
each component of the facility. As form follows function, it is important to
understand that the reception/triage, the trauma bay, the OR, the postoperative
care unit, the intensive care unit (ICU), and the surgery ward form an
interdependent system through which the trauma patient will transit during their
stay at the hospital.

It is important to note that when a Trauma Centre is built within an existing


hospital premises, it should preferably be located adjacent to the existing
emergency department with common entry, registration point and triage areas.
This will allow patients whose needs are best met in an area other than the
Trauma Care Facility to be redirected, depending on their clinical condition and
local operational policies. Conjoint triage ensures that patients who require
resuscitation have the quickest route to the care they need, rather than being
subsequently redirected from another access point or clinical area. This also
enables provision of two key connectivity between the two facilities; namely the
sterile connectivity and diagnostic connectivity.

Sterile Connectivity: It is a sterile corridor between the Operating Rooms situated

74
on the same floor in the two buildings. This helps the operating rooms staff and
surgeons to travel between both O‘͛s seamlessly.

Diagnostic Connectivity: This represents a corridor between two buildings at the


level of laboratory and radiological services; which helps in sharing the diagnostic
facilities between both facilities thereby enabling optimal utilization of the
resources.

ENTRANCE AREA

The Trauma Care Facility should be preferably accessible by two separate


entrances: one for ambulance patients and the other for ambulant patients. These
entrances must be at grade-level, well-marked, illuminated, and covered. There
should be Direct Access from public roads for ambulance and vehicle traffic, with
the entrance and driveway clearly marked and paved. Temporary parking should
be provided close to the entrance. In an existing hospital, these entrances must be
common with the hospital’s emergencyentrances or close to the
emergencyentrances to ensure a single point of arrival for a patient in acute
distress. In case the entrance to the Trauma Care Facility isnecessarily separated
flow the hospitalsemergencyentrance due tolimitations of space, patient load, etc.,
it must be ensured that there are appropriate internal logistics and access to rush
trauma patients mistakenly arriving at hospital emergency entrance and non-
trauma patients at trauma center entrance to their respective areas of definitive
care. If this cannot be achieved due to certain constrains, then adequate provision
must be made to stabilize such kind of patients at the inappropriate facility as
well before shifting them to the respective areas for definitive care. However, in no
case should a patient in acute distress be refused or left to fend for himself after
entering the hospital premises.

75
WAITING AREA

The Waiting Area should provide sufficient space for waiting patients as well as
relatives / escorts. It should be preferably open and nearer to the Triage and
Reception areas. Seating should be comfortable and adequate. Space should be
allowed for wheelchairs, walking aids and patients being assisted. Waiting Areas
shall be negatively pressured vis a vis the other areas of the Trauma Care Facility.

TRIAGE & RECEPTION AREA

Triage is the sorting of patients for prioritisation according to clinical acuity.


Triage may occur before or instantaneously upon patient arrival, within minutes
of arrival, at the bed-side or in a designated area. The Triage/ Assessment area
may include a designated area for ambulance patients and an area for ambulant
patients. The Reception / Triage and Staff Station shall be located where staff can
observe and control access to treatment areas, pedestrian and ambulance
entrances, and waiting areas. Patient movement between Triage and the following
areas should be given special consideration: Reception, Waiting area,
Resuscitation, Treatment & Ambulatory Care, patient toilets and Diagnostic
Imaging. Each Triage/Assessment space should be of not less than 16m2in size
and should be trolley and wheelchair accessible. It should at least have an
examination light, equipment for physiological measurement& examination,
wound dressings, documentation desk, etc. The minimum combined Reception
and Triage area must be 1.8 m2/1000 patient attendances per annum and there
should be a minimum allocation of one triage/assessment cubicle per 10,000
annual attendances. It is important to note that triage / assessment spaces may
not be necessarily physically divided by fixed infrastructure but instead maybe
even dynamically demarcated in a specified area or divided by removable
partitions / curtains. In certain cases, an appropriate space in a facility being
demarcated as Triage / assessment area is adequate till the objective of immediate
assessment and sorting of patients by acuity is being met. It must be understood
is that the purpose of Triage is not to delay the treatment any further but to

76
ensure that the patients are provided resources commensurate with their clinical
condition and also to ensure that the most precious resources are not being
wasted on those whodon’trequire it the most. Hence, separateprocessesfor pre-
triaged & pre-notified patients being bought in by the ambulance service should
be put in place to ensure that such patients are directly rushed to the
resuscitation / treatment area as the case maybe. Also, care should be taken to
ensure that no patient spends an unduly long time being triaged and at all costs,
over / under triage needs to be avoided in an acute care setting and more so in a
Trauma Care Facility.

TRAUMA RESUSCITATION AREA (RED AREA)

The resuscitation area is the specific area where most of the critical and lifesaving
interventions are done after reaching hospital. The size and number of the
resuscitation area largely depends on the level of centers and the frequency of
resuscitation done. Resuscitation area should not be too far from the entrance
(Triage area). At a minimum, two nurses per shift shall be there to perform
primary assignment for the resuscitation area. There shall be 360-degree
circumferential access to the patient, monitoring equipment and defibrillator,
suction, oxygen and washbasin. If more than one resuscitation beds are used,
there should be enough work space between the two resuscitation beds.
Resuscitation equipment, ventilator, infusion device, cannulation, etc. must be
checked and kept ready for all the time. Unnecessary attendant shall not be
entertained in resuscitation area.

Treatment Room (Yellow Area)

The treatment room shall provide a private and controlled environment for patient
consultations, examinations, treatments and minor procedures. Treatment room
is also called acute medical care room. At a minimum, 1:2 beds per nurse ratio
per shift shall be there at all times. The number of treatment beds may depend
upon the level of centres and frequency of number of emergency and trauma

77
patients. All the beds must be equipped. With monitoring devices and other
necessary facilities such as suction, oxygen, infusion device, infection control
bins, hand rub, wash basin, screen, etc. Only up to one attendant per patient may
be allowed if required in treatment area.

Operating Room

The trauma centre shall have at least one adequately staffed operating room
immediately available for trauma patients and post-anaesthesia recovery (the
surgical intensive care unit is acceptable). The operating team shall consist
minimally one scrub nurse or technician, one circulating staff nurse, one
anaesthesiologist immediately available. Ideally, the operating room should be
located near or adjacent to the resuscitation area to minimize transportation time
for an unstable emergency and trauma patients. There shall be enough space in
operating room to accommodate most surgical procedures required in emergency
and trauma care with portable operating light, portable imaging equipment and
others. Room shall be clean with separate bins for biohazard waste and others as
per the standard. The walls and ceiling should be free of fissures, open joints and
cracks.

Observation Room (green area)

It is the room for the continued treatment and evaluation process for patients
prior to leaving the ER or admitted to the ward. Observation room shall be
equipped with all the basic medical and non-medical equipment required in
functional mode. The number of observation beds may depend on the level of
centre and frequency of patients. Each bed shall have enough space (at least 1.5
meters) for the smooth and comfortable working environment for staff.

ISOLATION ROOM

EMTC shall have one designated room to keep trauma patients those whoare

78
diagnosed with highly contagious disease such as tuberculosis, measles, or
chickenpox that need isolation from other patients and staff in the hospital. It
should be maintained under negative room pressure technique used in hospitals
and medical centers to prevent crosscontaminations from room to room. It
includes a ventilation system that generates negative pressure to allow air to flow
into the isolation room but not escape from the room, as air will naturally flow
from areas with higher pressure to areas with lower pressure, thereby
preventingcontaminated air from escaping the room. This technique is used to
isolate patients with airborne contagious diseases.

INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (ICU)

The critically ill trauma patient requires continuous and intensive


multidisciplinary assessment and intervention to restore stability,prevent
complications, and achieve and maintain optimal outcomes. The trauma
centre(level I) shall provide ICU care for the patients as long as the patient
remains critically ill. A minimum of 1:2 beds per nurses ratio shall be there at all
time and may increase above this as dictated by patient acuity.

Level II and III trauma centre may not have a separate standard ICU but there
shall have trauma ward with enough bed capacity for the care ofcritically ill
trauma patients.

Disaster Management Department:

India is one of the disaster prone countries of south Asia .There has been frequent
incidents in J&K and Ladakh region that has been afflicted not only by multiple
natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, avalanches, and landslides but also
by the terrorism and violence, which has caused unparalleled death and
destruction. These natural and man-made disasters have adversely affected most
aspects of life and development in the region. To mitigate the risks, effective
disaster risk reduction and management systems, early warning systems and

79
infrastructure need to be strengthened.

The government of India (GOI), Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and United Nations
Development program (UNDP) signed an agreement in August 2002 for the
development of “Disaster Risk Management” Program to reduce the vulnerability of
the communities to natural disaster, in identified multi disaster prone areas.

Disaster management Area and Ward:

The disaster management wards are equipped to handle Mass Casualty Incidents
which can generate more patients at one time than locally available resources can
manage using routine procedures.

The Disaster wards require exceptional emergency arrangements and additional or


extra ordinary assistance. It is very vital that hospital preparedness of personnel
identification of vulnerable people, structure and services in the trauma center
can make the communities more resilient.

With coordinated hospital disaster management the hospital can be more


responsive with trained staff in supporting the disaster care.

The “Golden hour “ concept of trauma care that is developed by Dr. Adams Cowley
that refers to the amount of time from injury to definitive care that should be
allocated to maximize survival from traumatic injuries can be achieved by having
a well trained and equipped establishment like AIIMS Trauma center state of the
art facility.

Organ Donation Facility:

Organ transplantation is one such advancement by the medical system and has a
remarkable success in helping people with chronic disorders who are combating

80
life-threatening ailments.

Aiims Jammu trauma center can be the center of excellence for multi organ
transplant procedures and be claimed as one of India's most comprehensive solid
multi organ transplant facilities. The state of the art infrastructure and high end
equipment to perform living donor surgery and cadaveric surgeries by
experienced consultants like Transplant Surgeons, Nephrologists,
Gastroenterologists, Pediatric Gastroenterologists, Pediatric Surgeons,
Anesthetists, Intensivists and physicians with integrated team approach can yield
superior outcomes and ensure greatest likelihood of superior results and highest
standards of care .

The organ donation process is prioritized upon the effects of Cold Ischemic Time
(CIT). Once the organ is removed from the donor, blood no longer perfuse through
the vessels and begins to starve the cells of oxygen (ischemia). Each organ has a
capacity to tolerate different ischemic times. Hearts and lungs need to be
transplanted within 4–6 hours from recovery, liver about 8–10 hours and
pancreas about 15 hours; kidneys are the most resilient to ischemia. •

A kidney transplant unit facility with excellent resources can efficiently


streamline the process of retrieval and packaging on ice successfully till
transplanted within 24–36 hours after recovery. Developments in kidney
preservation have yielded a device that pumps cold preservation solution through
the kidneys vessels to prevent Delayed Graft Function (DGF) due to ischemia.
Research and development can be undertaken underway for heart and lung
preservation devices, in an effort to increase distances procurement teams may
travel to recover an organ.

There is a wide gap between patients who need transplants and the organs that
are available in India. As a known fact there are many challenges like lacking of
efficient infrastructure ,lack of awareness of the concept of brain stem death
among stakeholders, lack of organized systems for organ procurement from the

81
deceased donor and maintenance of standards in transplantation ,retrieval and
tissue banking .Esteemed organization like AIIMS trauma centers can address
these challenges efficiently and can save and provide a life for thousands of people
who are in need for organ donation for survival.

With the coordination and guidelines of the National Network division of NOTTO
that function as the apex center for all India activities of coordination and
networking for procurement and distribution of organs and tissues and registry of
Organs and Tissues Donation and Transplantation in the country. The organ
donation activities would be undertaken to facilitate Organ Transplantation in the
safest way in the shortest possible time and to collect data and develop and
publish National registry in an efficient way. Organizations like State organ and
tissue transplant organization (SOTTO) of J&K have been organizing
several camps at different regions of Jammu to fill in the gaps and create
awareness.

AIIMSs trauma center with alien Objectives of National Organ Transplant


Programme looks forward to implement and improvise the process:

 Organ and Tissue procurement & distribution for transplantation.

 To promote deceased organ and Tissue donation.

 To train required manpower.

 To protect vulnerable poor from organ trafficking.

 To monitor organ and tissue transplant services and bring about policy and
programme corrections/ changes whenever needed.

SKILL CENTER
Skill center means an educational institution which specifically provides skills training
or education in the commercial, technical, and vocational or language field.
82
Skill center has taken a differentiated approach by adopting innovative teaching
methodologies to make healthcare education more practically relevant and impart
job specific skills that will make the Indian healthcare professional a part of the much
sought after global work force.
• physical examination skills
• practical skills
• communication skills
• treatment skills
• clinical reasoning/diagnostic skill
ROLE OF SKILL CENTRE IN TRAUMA CARE
Considerable improvements have occurred in the care of injured patients since the
times of World War I and II. This has been brought about not only by technological
advances but also due to improved training of doctors and nurses in providing
trauma care. Important elements of combat trauma training are realism, human-
specific injuries and treatments, volume of trauma exposure, and team building. In
all modern armies training is imparted using human simulators and mannequins,
human cadavers, occasionally live animals but more often using animal tissues.
Worldwide trauma training courses are mandatory for both paramedics and medical
officers. There is a need to set up an organized system of trauma training in India and
we, in the Armed Forces have to capitalize on the wealth of combat and non-combat
trauma experience, in setting up such courses.

Trauma Training
Trauma care is a subject neglected by the medical curriculum planners. A number of
studies recently have addressed this issue and worldwide steps are being taken to
impart training to medical students prior to internship through courses like the
Emergency Trauma Training Course (ETTC).

Trauma training aims at providing the essential information and skills that the doctor
may then apply to identify and treat life threatening or potentially life threatening
injuries. The ABCDE approach of Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) course clearly
emphasizes that injury kills in reproducible time frames. Loss of airway kills quicker
than difficulty in breathing. Loss of circulating volume kills earlier than an expanding
intracranial hematoma.

83
The American College of Surgeons recognizing that trauma is a surgical disease
adopted the Advanced Trauma Life support course. ATLS today is accepted as a
standard of first hour trauma care the world over. ATLS aims to prepare doctors and
paramedics so trained to exercise a quantum of basic knowledge and skills to save
lives, reduce morbidity and avoid unnecessary harm. The overriding principle
is premium non noncore that is first do no harm. Implementation of ATLS protocols
and training of doctors worldwide has led to a significant decrease in mortality and
morbidity. The use of regionalized trauma centers too has been shown to decrease in
trauma-related morbidity and mortality.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TRAINING

Artificial intelligence has also been proven useful in the development of regional
trauma systems as a tool to determine the optimal location of a new trauma center
based on trauma-patient geospatial injury data and to minimize response times
across the trauma network. Although the utility of artificial intelligence is apparent
and proven in small pilot studies, its operationalization across the broader trauma
system and trauma surgery space has been slow because of cost, stakeholder buy-in,
and lack of expertise or knowledge of its utility. Nevertheless, as new trauma centers
or systems are developed, or existing centers are retooled, machine learning and
sophisticated analytics are likely to be important components to help facilitate
decision-making in a wide range of areas, from determining bedside nursing and
provider ratios to determining where to locate new trauma centers or emergency
medical services teams.

Simulation education

Simulation education is a bridge between classroom learning and real-life clinical


experience. Novices – and patients - may learn how to do injections by practicing on
an orange with a real needle and syringe. Much more complex simulation exercises –
similar to aviation curricula that provided the basis for healthcare – may rely on
computerized mannequins that perform dozens of human functions realistically in a
healthcare setting such as an operating room or critical care unit that is
indistinguishable from the real thing. Whether training in a “full mission
environment” or working with a desk top virtual reality machine that copies the
features of a risky procedure, training simulations do not put actual patients at risk.
Healthcare workers are subject to unique risks in real settings too, from such things as
infected needles, knife blades and other sharps as well as electrical equipment, and
they are also protected during simulations that allow them to perfect their craft.
Simulation-based assessment refers to both “low stakes” learning for improvement,
and “high stakes” testing to determine competency. Multiple choice tests and oral
exams have been traditional methods to assess knowledge and ability for generations.
Common sense dictates, however, that once technology advances to the point that real
tasks can be accurately simulated, truly demonstrating competence becomes an
indispensable part of effective evaluation. Directions in credentialing indicate that it
will eventually be more meaningful to actually demonstrate competency than to
provide a surrogate for competency – namely, a certain number
The goals of simulation-based research differ from training and evaluation.
Researchers may be trying to understand why a particular event happened, and so
simulate the event with the same and/or other clinicians. Just as with an airplane
engine or wing in a wind tunnel, medical devices may be tested under a range of
simulated conditions before the final device is marketed and used on actual patients.
New procedures for giving dangerous drugs or using advanced resuscitation methods
may be studied under simulated conditions. Entire populations, tests, and costs may be
represented by patterns of data in a computer and multiple simulations run to find
optimal solutions for attaining the best health of a community. Different types of
simulations – live, virtual reality, and computer-based – may be combined to attack a
question from different angles. The ultimate goal of increasing knowledge and

86
understanding to improve training, evaluation, and design of systems is the same.
Necessary research may also address two fundamental areas of need. One may ask, “Is
the tool of simulation valid?”. A second question to be answered by necessary
research is, “Is the tool of simulation useful?”. Answers to these fundamental
questions will continue to be increasingly addressed within the research arena.
Systems integration refers to the integration of simulation into institutional
healthcare training and delivery systems. Simulation-based processes may include
quality assessment mechanisms, thereby facilitating patient safety. Simulation may
also raise the bar for objectivity and hence fairness in evaluation, substituting visible,
accepted metrics for performance for anecdotes and opinions. Simulation-based
approaches can be effectively used to help evaluate organizational processes as well as
individuals and team performance. Examples include disaster response or testing a
new procedure before it is put into practice.

ADVANTAGES OF SIMULATION LEARNING


A range of easily accessible learning opportunities: Learning in healthcare is too
frequently in an apprenticeship model. In many disciplines, as opportunities to learn
and practice come along, it is hoped that learners encounter enough situations to
insure that they become competent. This is ultimately a haphazard way to learn, and
puts learners and patients at a disadvantage. Simulation offers scheduled, valuable
learning experiences that are difficult to obtain in real life. Learners address hands-on
and thinking skills, including knowledge-in-action, procedures, decision-making, and
effective communication. Critical teamwork behaviors such as managing high
workload, trapping errors, and coordinating under stress can be taught and practiced.
Training runs the gamut from preventive care to invasive surgery. Because any
clinical situation can be portrayed at will, these learning opportunities can be
scheduled at convenient times and locations and repeated as often as necessary.

The freedom to make mistakes and to learn from them: Working in a simulated
environment allows learners to make mistakes without the need for intervention by
experts to stop patient harm. By seeing the outcome of their mistakes, learners gain
powerful insight into the consequences of their actions and the need to “get it right”.

The learning experience can be customized: Simulation can accommodate a range


of learners from novices to experts. Beginners can gain confidence and “muscle
memory” for tasks that then allow them to focus on the more demanding parts of care.
Experts can better master the continuously growing array of new technologies from
minimally invasive surgery and catheter-based therapies to robotics without putting
the first groups of patients at undue risk. Some complex procedures and rare diseases

87
simply do not present enough opportunities for practice, even to established clinicians.
Examples include treating a severe allergic reaction or heart attack in an outpatient
clinic setting, or handling a case of malignant hyperthermia in the operating room.
This is a gap that simulation training methods can help fill.

Detailed feedback and evaluation: Real events and the pace of actual healthcare
operations do not allow for the best review and learning about why things took place,
or how to improve performance. Controlled simulations can be immediately followed
by videotape-supported debriefings or after-action reviews that richly detail what
happened. Advanced surgical and task simulators gather much data about what the
learner is actually doing. These performance maps and logs provide a solid and
necessary feedback mechanism to learners and help instructors target necessary
improvements.

Healthcare simulation is coming of age, and has begun to share much with
established methods in aviation, spaceflight, nuclear power, shipping and the military.
The rapid advance of computer science, bioengineering, and design has met demands
from all stakeholders for safer, more effective and efficient ethical healthcare. When
the stakes are high and real settings do not lend themselves to artificial handling for
other purposes, simulation methods will find applications.

TELEMEDICINE

Advances in telemedicine have been shaped by increasing demands for meeting global
health needs, as well as market-driven forces. Trauma and emergency medicine face
significant barriers with regard to accessibility of care, expertise, and technology.
Telemedicine serves to bridge these gaps on both a global and loco regional scale,
making available the highest level of expertise and care to the most remote settings.
Telehealth has served to advance patient care, surgical education, and inter-
institutional collaboration through the use of modern technology.
The evolution of telemedicine in trauma and emergency management in the recent
times showcases examples of advances in technology and applications that can be
used by a wide audience of health care providers to meet the needs of patients
requiring trauma and emergency medical care.
As Injury represents a significant burden to the healthcare system worldwide, with
approximately 10 % of worldwide deaths attributed to trauma. Additionally, the
impact upon public health measures such as disability, physical impairment, loss of
work force, and quality of life remains significant. While certain mechanisms of injury
such as vehicular accidents have declined in incidence significantly over the last two
88
decades in developed nations, the opposite trend has occurred in lower to middle
income countries. The disparity in outcomes between socioeconomic classes is present
not only on an international level but also on a loco regional level. The vast majority
of specialized trauma centers and traumatologists are centered in urban settings. In the
INDIA patients in rural settings are at significantly greater risk of death from
traumatic causes when compared to urban counterparts. A significant number of such
deaths can be prevented if timely access to specialized trauma centers and resources
can be ensured.
The reasons for such discrepancy in access to trauma care remain largely unclear,
although various contributing factors have been postulated. Rural health care facilities
are often staffed with providers with limited expertise in traumatology which may lead
to deviations from the “standards of care.” Moreover, such facilities are limited in
their ability to provide continuing medical education and skills training to their
providers. As a consequence, trauma patients in rural settings often lack access to
timely care and interventions delivered by trauma subspecialists. This challenge is
partially addressed through the nationwide implementation of trauma transfers; i.e.,
the physical transfer of a trauma patient from a referring rural facility to a definitive
tertiary trauma center. The decision to initiate such transfers typically originates from
the referring rural physician and is carried out via a telephone conversation with the
consulting and/or accepting traumatologist at the specialized receiving trauma center.
Nonetheless, natural barriers to transportation, distance between referring and
receiving institutions, the great cost of such transfers and the time-sensitive nature of
traumatic injuries make the transfer system suboptimal. Therefore, it remains a
significant challenge and important objective to bridge the gap between care delivered
to rural trauma patients and their urban counterparts both on a national and
international level.
A potential solution to bridge this gap may lie in developing telemedicine for trauma
and emergency care (“teletrauma”). Advances in technology and demonstrated
success in the applications of telemedicine on both national and international levels
represent a significant opportunity in making the most advanced resources and highly
trained personnel available to the most remote of settings in a timely fashion. The
concept of “telepresence” involves providing access for smaller and more rural health
care facilities to trauma surgeons at major trauma centers on an around-the-clock
basis. The implementation of such “telepresence” extends beyond mere video-
teleconference (which remains a valuable component of collaborative and educational
applications) but also includes expert evaluation of patients and processes which
begins from the initial evaluation of the trauma patient and continues on to all aspects
of care delivered for the patient. This review focuses on the evolution of telemedicine
programs on both national and international levels as it pertains to trauma and
emergency medical care.

89
Historical Perspective
The origins of telemedicine in the setting of emergency management and trauma date
back to military disaster exercises staged by R. Adams Cowley, M.D., who used
satellite transmission to communicate images of burn victims to medical centers
across the Washington DC area using now outdated technology. Thereafter, several
efforts have been made to expand upon this initial effort to both evaluate and treat
trauma patients remotely. Mattox’s group reported the successful remote evaluation of
17 trauma patients using real-time video observation combined with verbal
interaction. While this study was performed “in-house” with the remote evaluation
occurring in a separate room within the confines of the hospital, it demonstrated that
the trauma team leader does not necessarily need to be physically present during
evaluation and initial resuscitation in order to attain good outcomes. The immediate
physical availability of the traumatologist in this study provided not only a safety
mechanism in case of equipment failure or potential inferiority of telemetric
resuscitation but also allowed for the unbiased evaluation of remote evaluation and
resuscitation in a setting where clear physical presence of the expert was readily
available but not required. Subsequent studies extended this principle to truly remote
locations of evaluation. Rogers et al. reported their experience with telemedicine for
the management of trauma patients in rural Vermont. Their study, which involved
predominantly blunt trauma victims, demonstrated the utility of telemetric
consultation in providing (1) identification of the need for, and expediting, transfer of
complex trauma patients to a tertiary center, (2) recommendations for obtaining or
forgoing diagnostic tests such as CT scans, and (3) recommendation for therapeutic
interventions such as nasogastric tube and chest tube insertion. Lambrecht et al.
reported in their study evaluating telemedicine consultation for the evaluation of
extremity and pelvic injuries that 68 out of 100 patients evaluated were allowed to
remain at the referring facility.
Much has changed in the field of telemedicine technologies. Initial experience with
such communication ranged from the use of digital cameras to obtain and transmit
pictures of radiographic studies of orthopedic injuries to closed circuit television and
recording devices in the on-site evaluation, to provision of trauma care from the
distance in real time. The simplicity of using smartphone technology to transmit
images and recordings of patient wounds and radiographic images has been shown to
be efficacious in more than one study, although their ubiquitous use has not occurred
due to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) concerns and the
security of patient data. Within the last decade, more advanced technologic programs
were created and demonstrated to be highly functional. The use of bidirectional

90
videoconferencing has been demonstrated in several settings of trauma and acute care
to be an effective method for evaluation and teleconsultation. For example, the
Southern Arizona Telemedicine and Telepresence (SATT) program initiated in 2004
used real-time transmission of video, audio, and vital signs on a secured, separate line,
which was monitored around the clock by technical personnel, to link a major
university medical center in Tucson, Arizona with a rural medical center over 100
miles away .

TRAUMA REGISTRY

A system of timely data collection that aids in the evaluation of trauma care for
injured patients is called trauma registry. Trauma centre shall have a trauma
registry unit with necessary equipment such as desk top computer with internet
connectivity, file rack, table and chairs.

Morgue/Body Holding Area

The Morgue/Body holding area is a facility for the temporary holding / storage of
dead bodies prior to transfer to a destination. The area should allow for the
following:

 Direct access from the facility for delivery of the body


 It should allow easy and discrete access to deliver and/or remove bodies
 Consider away from public area to ensure that is appropriately screened from
visibility

Store

Trauma care shall have separate room to store all kind of medical supplies and
equipment.

Other Facilities for Patient Relatives

The centre should provide enough facilities for the patient families and relatives

91
such as toilets, waiting area with seating facilities and entertainments as required.

Facilities for Staff

Trauma centre shall have enough facilities for staff including nurse station,
changing room, and toilet and administrative office.

The faculty will be having office for functional purposes.

15.2 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

 To configure all the important norms, the service delivery of the entire hospital
has been divided into three sections, viz., Outpatient Department, Wards,
Operation Theatre and Laboratory.

 These parameters have, further, identified a broad division of an extreme type


and a coastal type of climate to address the objectives comprehensively. It also
sums up the total population pressure into two zones, viz., plateau (moderately
populated) and desert / mountain (thinly populated).

 To maintain an asepsis condition in a hospital, due care in planning, designing


and detailing is required in terms of right location and choosing the right
material & specifications. This acts as a preventive measure against infection
to the patient. To this effect it is important to ensure that the corners of
floors, walls and ceilings are coved (rounded off). This is because a ‘Right
angle is not always the right angle while designing a clinic area where
sterility is of critical importance’.

 In the planning process location of various departments has a very important


role to play. All the departments are the ‘activities’ of the hospital and an
architect’s role is to rightly identify the ‘activity’ and ‘activity sequence’ in
working out a functional program of spaces. In the words of Emerson Goble,

92
“separate all departments yet keep them close to each other; separate types of
traffic yet save steps to everybody. That is all there is to hospital planning”

Hospital provides Preventive, Curative, Restorative, Rehabilitative, Promotive


and Comprehensive community health care to the public. Segregation of
patients is recommended on the basis of the following:

 Curative and preventive services, for instance immunization, well baby clinic
and anti natal area should be separated from medicine, skin, ENT or other
OPD areas

 All elements of progressive patient care viz intensive care, intermediate care,
self care and ambulatory care must receive due consideration.

 Separate room and ward units for critically ill patients and general ward for
normal care.

 Sex (separation of sexes will be achieved by room assignment which is


applicable to all nursing units except post operative).

 The landscape, facility mix, bed mix, availability of utilities in the vicinity will
have to be considered. Considerable inputs from the other agencies like
HVAC(Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning), electrical, plumbing, medical
gases and inputs from equipment vendors especially in speciality areas like
MRI, CT Scan, Operation Theatres will be essential to finalize the working plan
of the hospital.

 Patient being the main focus, protection of the patient is the primary rule. Too
much of traffic will disturb the patient and affect the efficiency in patient care
and increase the risk of infection.

 The functional circulation with the shortest possible traffic route helps in
economizing construction cost. Also, segregation of dissimilar activities such as

93
movement of dirty utility and clean utility, quite and noisy activity, different
types of patients and traffic, both inside and outside of the building is an aid to
economizing construction cost.

 High quality of health care can be achieved only if the hospital design is
efficient, functional and economical.

 Plan and design for segregation of traffic i.e. inpatients, outpatients, visitors,
staff goods and waste.

 Environment plays a dominant role in the healing process of a patient and


selection of aesthetically pleasing building material, which is also sustainable,
and patient friendly goes a long way in complementing patient healing.

operation of the healthcare facilities.

 Architects, Interior Designers and Health Care Administrators have realised


nature’s influence on patients and their need to nurse their soul. Their
approach now combines this inherited wisdom with modern technology by
applying a “Holistic” approach in designing health care environment. With
a preventive approach

 There is a greater need to be cognizant of the blend of technology and human


behavior by promoting development of landscapes, gardens, which are
proportionate to the scale of the building and the population, it serves.

 Building ventilation, external and internal appearance, landscape and internal


and external traffic patterns, energy efficiency, orientation are very important
points to be kept in mind while designing an effective health care environment.

 Keep Patient as the focus of planning and designing.

 Material and services flow - It is also important to separate transport of clean


and soiled material.

 Privacy (separation of in and out-patient area), Degree of illness

95
 Utilize energy saving/optimizing techniques such as solar energy for healing
water, biogas units for lighting, heat reclaim from boiler exhaust and
incineration.

 Use of Eco friendly materials (Green Building Concepts)

 Various support services such as kitchen, CSSD and laundry to be planned for
or to be outsourced

 Waste management to be planned for or to be outsourced.

15.3 BASIC PLANNING ASPECTS

(Like equipment planning, functional circulation, critical areas of hospital


services are the most important planning tools that deserve special
attention.)

Planning Grid: In an urban situation where the hospital generally adopts the
vertical form comprising of diagnostic/therapeutic and interventional services and
a multi-storey block houses the in-patient facilities. The planning grid is largely
determined by the layout of the in-patient facilities housed in multi-story and also
this is generally the accommodation desired for a single bed patient room and a
double bed patient room and their toilets.

The structural grid need not necessarily be the same as the planning grid but
usually derived from it

The position of the structural determined by the planning grid will continue
downwards through the rest of the hospital, through the lower floors till their
respective foundations where they will transfer their load to the ground below.
Hence, the lower floors which will house the operation theatre suite, the radio
diagnostic unit, the services unit like kitchen, laundry and mechanical services in

96
the basement to name just a few will need to be designed within these column
positions.

Even the lower floors are extended beyond the footprint of the in-patient multi-
storey block above. It is almost certain that the position of the additional column
required would be derived from structural grid used for the multi-story block
accommodating the in-patient facility.

In semi urban or rural situation where available land area is much larger with
respect to the built-up area desired the planning grid has much greater flexibility
and it gives more elbowroom to the architect and this freedom enables many
different types of building layout and form.

The following aspects are to be considered in the sustainability of the hospital


building design: -

 SITE: The hospital building must have easy approach, enough land availability,
sufficient supply of water and electricity. The guidelines recommended for
various sizes of hospitals are as follows.

 WATER EFFICIENCY: Water conservation and re-utilization by rainwater


harvesting should be made mandatory. Sustainability also lies in selecting
water efficient fixtures and appliances specifying materials that do not waste
excessive water in their manufacturing process and selecting landscape
vegetation requiring minimum irrigation. Recycling water to support the entire
mechanical and horticultural requirements approx 500 l of water/bed/day are
required.

 ENERGY & ATMOSPHERE: Designing the building, utilizing energy efficiency


more in terms of passive solar architecture and selecting the right material for
making it energy efficient, and following the various pollution control and local
utility conservation guidelines.

97
 MATERIAL & RESOURCES: Based on the local pollution control norms,
eliminating the usage of PBC products used during treatment such as IV bags,
vinyl gloves, plasma collection bags and sharp containers to name a few.

 INDOOR AIR QUALITY: The aim of the planner should be to humanize the
hospital in spite of techno medical needs of the patient related to advanced
diagnostic, surgical or life support treatment with high level of precision.
Hence, human scale is very important as a design factor evoking the feel of
homeliness. Hospital design objective is to integrate healing spaces depending
upon the user’s need successfully both physically and psychologically, e.g.
warm and friendly, stress reducing, life enhancing and produce positive
responses, enrich the environments, foster civic pride; enhance reputation,
sense of belonging and fit with the surroundings, efficient in operation,
economical in use of resource, flexible and durable, reflect the aims and
objective of the owner,

 Design and function must be symmetric.

 Data such as dermographic data, socio economic data, climatological data;


geographical data, availability etc should be known and analyzed.

 Regulations and Bye laws and legislative enactments related to health care
facilities should be meticulously read, analyzed and followed.

 Resource availability in terms of man, money and materials should be analyzed

 Factors such as travel time and travel distance by the users must be
considered while planning.

 Plan for flexibility, convertibility and expandibility.

 Modular approach helps in achieving the above

98
 Covered waiting areas should be near the treatment space to avoid patients
walking through public places after wearing the gown.

 The definition of a hospital as enumerated by WHO must be kept in


consideration while planning.

“ Hospital is an intergral part of the social and medical organization of the


community, the functions of which are not only curative but preventive,
whose outpatient services reach out to the family in its environment, is also
a center of training of health workers and for bio-social research”.

Space Determination: The factors which must be considered include scope of


services that the department provides type of equipment being utilized, inpatient,
outpatient work load, procedures and facilities being provided.

15.4 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Flooring is one of the most important components of buildings especially that


of healthcare facilities.

The various factors which must be taken while selecting flooring to maintain and
aesthetically pleasing in healthcare facilities are as follows:

 It should provide a safe, non-slippery, comfortable surface for use by patients,


staff and visitors.

 It should facilitate cleaning. Coved skirting with a minimum radius of 3 cm and


minimum of 10 mm should be done to prevent dirt/dust accumulation.

 Floor loading capacity/wear resistance should be appropriate to the human


traffic and equipment utilized in the facility.

 Laboratory flooring should be abrasion and water resistant.

99
 The flooring should be conducive to movement of objects such as trolleys and
wheel chairs should minimize noise generation.

Surface Materials: The following consideration:

 Fixtures and fittings should be designed to facilitate easy cleaning and


discourage accumulation of dust.

 Horizontal, textured or moisture retaining surfaces should be avoided.

 Inaccessible areas soil/dust/moisture would accumulate should be avoided.

 Surfaces should be smooth, impervious and easily cleaned. They should be of


seamless materials in high risk clinical areas such as operating unit, ICU
obstetric unit etc.

Wall & Ceilings: Wall materials in areas such as OT should be impervious,


jointless, non-absorbent, easily cleaned. X Ray View box, electrical
plugs/switches should be flush with the wall. Surface to facilitate cleaning.
Walls and also floors if situated above ground level of imaging department must
be provisioned with shielding material such as lead to prevent radiation
exposure. Corners of the wall to be protected against banging of Stretchers.
Ceilings to be made interesting especially in paediatric area

Doors & windows: Doorways should have minimum 90 cm clear opening width
to allow easy passage to patients/visitors/staff including those on wheelchair.
A level space of at least 152 cm wide should extend about 45 cms on either
side of the doorway for facilitating opening/closing by a wheel chaired person.
The door should be designed to be opened by application of no more than 4 kg
of pressure.

 In paediatric rooms, two sets of door handles should be provided one at a high
level and one at low level rooms occupied by patients/staff should have

100
windows to have external views and make use of direct or borrowed natural
light where practical.

 Each window and/or glazed door should have direct glazed area of not less
than 15% of the floor area of the room.

 All doors in the toilets of Inpatient area to open outside.

Stairs: Recommended height of risers is 0.15m and 0.32 m threads. It should


have level and non skid surfaces. Hand rails should be positioned on both sides of
stairs and extend beyond the first and last step to facilitate people with leg braces
to pull themselves beyond these points.

Lifts: Passenger lifts are ideally recommended for all health care facility with
patient services located on a level other than ground floor. Lifts required for
transporting patients on beds and emergency lifts should be capable of accepting
hospital beds with emergency equipment and attendants. Lift openings should be
wide enough to carry stretcher and wheel chairs.

Design Concept & Planning
Design philosophy of this project is based on the connectivity and segregation of
spaces as per the demand of the areas. The site is divided into 2 zones, first one
is front of the medical facility i.e. hospital building and other one is back of the
medical facility i.e. service block which is placed on the back side of the site.
Site have one entrance and two exits which help to manage the traffic flow of
patient.
Form of the hospital building is taken from the Mass and void concept which we
had shown in our layout by giving the terraces at alternate floors. Mass and Void
concept help to break the monotony and connect the indoor spaces to outdoor
areas.
Flow of patient and staff is segregated by the different cores. Right core at the
entrance is given for staff only and left will be used by patients. This help us to
manage the traffic in the hospital. In hospital building, time is most important
constrain for the patients as well as doctors. Departmentation had done as per the
utility and internal connections with other areas. Training areas for ex. Labs,
seminar hall etc. is also provided with departments.
Building block has 3 entries i.e. one is main entry for emergency, second for the
OPD & staff and third one is back entry for services. Emergency is the most
critical and important area of any hospital that’s why we placed that at the
entrance of the building on ground floor. Emergency is directly connected with
blood bank and imaging department which is the need of the emergency patients.
OPD is also connected on the other side to take the follow up by the patients.
Pharmacy, labs & admin is also connected with imaging and OPD areas for the
better proximity.
On the first floor we have placed the wards area with dialysis, endoscopy, single
occupancy room & double occupancy rooms.
Second floor is occupied with all critical area and services. OT’s ICU’s, HDU’s are
placed on the same floor and connected by the corridors. Staff is entering from

109
right core and get into their staff zone and Patients is coming from the left core
from emergency and direct entering to the pre OP area. Cath lab is connected
directly to the OT complex. CSSD is also provide adjacent to the OT area to make
it more accessible to the OT facility.
In service block kitchen, laundry, mortuary, electrical & maintenance and store is
provided. MGPS is provided on the site adjacent to the service block.
