As a patient or a relative or well wisher of a patient, what are my priorities
1. Am I in the right place or the hospital
2. Am I seeing the best doctor
3. Who should i be seeing for this problem
4. How is that i can partake in the decision making process
1. A 24 hour access multi speciality hospital is always the better choice in emergencies
2.. Availability of doctors at all times with senior doctors with good experience and training
3. Appropriate specialists for addressing the specific area problems with all facilities
4. Hospital with Patient centric focus with its vision, mission and values defined with patients' interest as its foremost interest.
The last of the four needs more attention
We encourage the patients to share their Ideas, Concerns and Expectations.
When the Ideas, Concerns and Expectations are shared with the doctors and the Care givers such as nurses, the treatment becomes more acceptable and satisfactory.
Staff trained with good communication skills to help with patients' and relatives concerns and to understand their ideas and expectations.
Kauvery Hospitals in South India have been leading the health care delivery in many of these aspects and respects.
