NewsletterThe Power of Prayer: A Blessing for this New Year

Year 2010 has already dawned and has brought new beams ofvision, rays of hope and gleam of expectations. Sometimes,

amidst all the noise and clamor of collapses, failures and rancorousfighting, we forget what’s really important for real growth andhappiness in our lives. We forget those things that get us from here tothere, from today to tomorrow. We forget the people and actionsthat make life happen with some modicum of peace and comfort.Then something occurs to remind us that amidst the chaos, there islight and love. The power of community is so strong that it carries usthrough all rough times.

What is it in humans that builds tolerance and acceptance? When does our inner voice tell us that our resistance isabout to break! When do we inculcate values of perseverance? I believe we all possess small but significant amountsof each of tolerance, resistance and perseverance within ourselves. Where we falter is when and how to use and strikea balance in them!!

Let us all pray with mindfulness as a celebration of energy that allows us to heal ourselves and reconnect us with ourhigher self while satisfying the basic need to connect with the oneness of the world as a whole. The goal should be tore-envision an open, accessible, all inclusive living that would help create healthy lives through the power of awarenessand loving intention.

May the new year 2010 embellish us with wisdom and happy thoughts. Introspection is the torch bearer for selfanalysis of our true growth in all spheres and hence we need to look back on our achievements and blessings. Let usstrengthen our association even further and take our Institute to the pinnacle of success.

Molecular techniques playimportant role in the diagnosis

of infectious diseases. Today, manyinfectious agents, especially the non-cultivable, slow growing and difficultto grow organisms are diagnosedbased on molecular methods.However, most of the clinicalmicrobiology laboratories in India areyet to introduce these techniques eitherbecause of lack of trained manpoweror infrastructure or both.

A New Upgraded Computer Centre

In 1998, SGPGIMSimplemented its first

Hospital Information System(HIS) which made it the firstmedical institute in thecountry to implement fullfunctional HospitalInformation System thatprovided fully computerizedprocesses starting fromregistration of patients,admission, investigation,billing till discharge and follow up data.Till date we have about 05 lacspatients’ records in its databasecontaining valuable clinical informationto use for research, patient care andplanning. The facilities in the existingsystem are accessible from localnetwork within the institute campus.The limitations included inability tohandle image data such as X-ray, CTscan, MRI etc.

With the advancement of informationtechnology the institute decided toupgrade this system and pass on itsbenefit to the patients. The presentsystem being implemented and is fullyweb based and could be accessedusing Wide Area Network (WAN)from anywhere with properauthorization and security. The systemhas unique facilities for patientsincluding:-

Ä Avoidance of long waiting periodto make payment at counters andfacility of payment at any counterfor all kind of services

Ä Integration with Telemedicine willprovide facility for tele-consultation along with follow-upof patients and full access ofelectronic medical recordincluding investigation report of thepatient from any where.

Ä Smart card will provide the facilityof portable medical recordcontaining vital informationregarding disease and themanagement including lifetimerecord.

The institute will also benefit in termsof

Ä Quick retrieval of patient recordincluding images.

Ä Improved inter departmentalreferral and patient management.

Ä E-pharmacy: audit and control of

resources like drugs,consumables, labreagents used ininvestigation.

Ä Elimination ofconventional X-ray filmsand it’s transportation tovarious location throughPACS.

From executiveeditor’s desk.....

One’s own dwelling place; theplace where a person lives with

his family; also, one’s birthplace-theseare some of the ways in which thedictionary defines a HOME.

By this definition, this vast sprawling,lush green SGPGI campus is HOMEto a huge number of human beings,plants and animals. We the campusresidents are indeed a privileged lotto stay here tucked away far from themadding crowds in a pollution freezone.

The security and company thatcampus life provides is unparalleled.However there are certain steps thatcould be taken to further improve lifeon the campus.Here are a fewsuggestions:

Ä Pollution free subsidized shuttlebuses to run from point to pointat fixed intervals-this serviceshould extend to the residentialareas including hudood

Ä Revamping of the communitycentre for better utilization of thehuge complex. It can be given overto Spencers/BigBazaar to run–this will not only save everyonetime and petrol, if the place getsbusy., it’ll also discourage vague/nefarious elements from hangingaround which is what is prevalentat present.

Ä Better in campus trafficregulations-maybe occasionalchecks by traffic police to cutdown on underage driving as wellas speeding within the campus (itis quite common and quite scary)

Ä Tightening of security measures sothat what we have is not a falsesense of security but the real thing.

Ä Proper maintenance of the parksand open spaces .Some of theparks should have child friendly

swings, all should be well grassedand have benches.

Ä Provision of a Reading Room/Library –this could be run in theold faculty club premises. Themanpower could be provided bySGPGI or by volunteers fromwithin the campus.

This list is by no means complete andI have to thank the newly revivednewsletter for providing a platformwhere such discussions and views canbe put forth and hopefully we seesome of these put into action soon.

View Points

Lest we forget

We doctors in SGPGIMS alwaysadvice our patients, friends and

family members to have a healthy lifestyle and to eat green vegetables andfruits. We are busy advocating to ourpatients to avoid junk food. But theparadox is a classical example of“Doctors’s Canteen” where one findsall junk food each day and each meal.Most of us have our meals in thecanteen and due to busy life scheduleshave adapted to eat what is availableand hence this results in landing upwith all junk food. Green vegetables,fruits, beans and other healthy foodare perhaps beyond the reach of ourcanteen which is full of potatoes andother junk food items. Only when wepractice what we really preach, wecan expect the society to change forthe better future. I request the higherauthorities to take this matter intoconsideration at their earliest possiblecomfortable time as its high time whenwe need to realize the importance ofgiving healthy life style to the healthcare providers. We need someone tobreak the silence of constantlyadapting to the unhealthy dietary itemsand to ensure availability of betteredibles.

Junk the junk food

If you are still doing anythingthis year the same way you didit last year, you’re behind thetime.
