Modern day hospitals


Most of us who are not associated with health care industry have little idea about how complex is it to manage a hospital. Even if we had been to a hospital for treatments little do we realize how difficult it is to manage it. Even a medium sized hospital will have tens of surgeons, resident doctors, nurses and probably a hundred other support staff. Then there are a host of different equipments used at different places in the hospital. Some of these are used in operation theatres; some are installed alongside patient’s bed, some in coroner’s office, and some in test laboratories and so on. Most hospitals have practice to have a central storage of equipments and have an elaborate check in/check out process for managing usage of equipments. But often this process is skipped and equipments are used randomly. This is also partly due to the nature of the work which hospital does. For instance, during an emergency the whole process is given a skip.
