**💡 Is Cost-Cutting in Teleradiology Putting Patient Safety at Risk? Let’s Rethink Our Approach. 💡** In India, some Teleradiology vendors are offering low prices and paying commissions to center staff just to win business. While this might seem like a good deal, it comes at a serious cost. When vendors focus on cheap prices instead of quality, the result is often poor-quality reports. This is a big problem because these reports are crucial for patient care. Cutting corners to save money can lead to mistakes, and in healthcare, mistakes can have serious consequences. We need to remember that every report impacts a patient’s health. Sacrificing quality for the sake of saving a few bucks is simply not acceptable. It’s time to change this approach. We should all focus on providing high-quality reporting services that truly help patients, rather than just trying to keep our businesses running. Let’s work together to raise the standards in Teleradiology in India. Stop cutting corners, focus on quality, and protect patient health. #Teleradiology #PatientCare #HealthcareQuality #SayNoToCompromise #RadiologyEthics #MedicalIntegrity #HealthcareStandards #ProtectPatients #IndiaHealthcare #RadiologySafety

Infection Prevention & Control in Elderly Care Homes At present India may not be the Shining Star in the field of Elderly Care however it is definitely a Rising Star and soon it will become the brightest star in the landscape of Global Social Welfare. While the Aged Care sector in India is gradually spreading its wings and learning to fly, however the larger point of debate is, do we have a trained and qualified workforce to care for Older People? Infection Prevention and Control is an important aspect in the overall person-centered care and Quality of Life of the Elders. The attached resource document "Procedures and Practices for Infection Prevention and Control Training Session – IV, published by National Center for Disease Control under the ageis of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare is a good training module. The entire topic is structured under 8 modules titled "Infection Prevention and Control in Healthcare Facilities Training Sessions". I am sharing Module 4 for the benefit of the larger cause. Module 4 covers the following topics: 1) Hand hygiene 2) Personal protective equipment(PPE) 3) Respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette 4) Prevention of injuries from sharps 5) Safe handling of patient-care equipment-injection safety 6) Principles of asepsis 7) Environmental infection control 8) Airborne precautions 9) Droplet precautions 10) Contact precautions 11) Placement of patient with transmissible disease I sincerely and genuinely hope that service providers and operators involved with Senior Citizens Care develop their own training content.
