Many small hospitals may find the new norms beyond their capacity The National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH) has released a new batch of entry-level standards for accreditation of smaller hospitals. As the name suggests, Entry Level Standards are meant for hospitals who want to get started on the quality certification journey, but are unable to do so due to the stringent requirements of the full NABH accreditation. "The whole idea behind introducing this new set of standards is to become more inclusive; to get a number of hospitals to join the quality journey. With the full set of NABH standards, recognised by the International Society for Quality in Healthcare [ISQua] many smaller hospitals cannot even hope to apply for," explains K.K.Kalra, CEO, NABH. Currently, there are only 227 hospitals with NABH accreditation, and about 1200 in various stages of application. The new standards will be a foot in the door for a number of small hospitals...

  The Delhi High Court has directed that hospitals cannot hold patients "hostage" over unpaid bills and dues. Denouncing the way of withholding custody of patients, a bench of Justices said that, "If the bills are not paid, then the patient can be released and cannot be kept as a hostage. Furthermore, even if dues are outstanding, the patients cannot be withheld to extract money towards unpaid bills". The ruling came after a patient's son approached the court claiming that a hospital was holding his father hostage over outstanding dues of Rs 13.45 lakhs since February. He had also alleged that the hospital was not giving proper treatment to his father. The hospital opposed the petitioner's contentions and claimed that he had raised the grievance as the patient was shifted to the general ward from private ward due to non- payment of dues. Meanwhile, the court directed the hospital to prepare the discharge summary of the patient and allowed his son, to take hi...

Increased consumerism and materialism has increased the trust gap among various players. Increasing awareness, hostile attitude of society, availability of legal hammer and declining camaraderie among medical practitioners are few visible obstacles raising its bar everyday. What can be done in these unfair and suffocating circumstances usually beyond our control? There can be innumerable ideas on this issue but these are not well comprehended, collated or adopted by many of us. Either we sit back and take the nonsense or we innovate, think out of the box and survive! Many unfortunately think that actually nothing can be done to redeem the situation! Those who do not innovate will perish in consumer centric world !! If people have reduced this noble profession to the level of trade or business based on various variables then it is wise and logical to apply all mark...
