SMS hosp pays Rs10cr to PWD for monsoon maintenance
Jaipur: Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital has paid Rs10 crore to Public Works Department (PWD) for repair and maintenance work during the monsoon and post-monsoon periods, officials said Thursday. "PWD identified areas where leakage takes place and repairs have already been done. We paid Rs 10 crore to PWD for such works," said Dr Sushil Bhati, medical superintendent. The hospital has arranged a sufficient number of mud pumps to remove water from areas where waterlogging takes place. The mud pumps were used two days ago in some parts of the hospital where waterlogging was reported. The hospital has also arranged machines from Jaipur Municipal Corporation to clean drains on its premises. Besides, the electric wiring was repaired and the terrace cleaned, while old pipelines for removing water were changed.

SMS hosp seeks help with server failures
Jaipur: With frequent glitches in the server at SMS Hospital forcing numerous patients to return without medical attention due to failure to complete registration formalities, the hospital administration has requested the department of Information Technology & communication ( DOITC ) for a sturdy resolution or a backup system for patient registration and testing during outages. The patient management system at the hospital, called iHMS, was designed and developed by DOITC for the department of medical education (DOME) and the health department in 2017-18. It has strengthened medical and health services and improved patient care by streamlining hospital processes. Over 10,000 patients come to SMS Hospital daily for consultation with doctors at the OPD. When the server stops, patients struggle even to get X-rays and other tests done. SMS Hospital operates entirely online following the govt's digitalisation initiative. "A lot of services at the hospital have already been made online. Server failures cause major disruptions in the facilities for patients. We have raised the issue with DOITC, asking them to resolve the issue as it has happened multiple times lately, forcing patients to wait till it gets restored. We have urged DoIT to provide an alternate measure to ensure patients do not face difficulties," said Dr Sushil Bhati, medical superintendent at SMS Hospital, to TOI.

Technical glitch hits services at SMS hosp, patients suffer
Jaipur: Services in Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital were affected Thursday due to a technical breakdown in the central server. The fault resulted in scores of patients being stranded in the hospital for hours across the state. Many of them returned home as their registration was not done due to the fault. The patients started reaching the hospital early and getting their registration done. However, at 11am, the integrated hospital management system (IHMS) stopped functioning. The patients kept standing in queues at the registration counters until late, but the services were restored only at 2pm. Long queues of patients caused significant inconvenience, even to women and the elderly. "We checked the online system and found that it was from the end of the department of Information Technology," said Dr Sushil Bhati, medical superintendent, SMS Hospital. Dr Bhati said that they helped the patients who came for follow-up and already had registration done in their last visit. These patients were provided with treatment offline. Besides, the hospital admitted the patients offline who were brought to the emergency OPD. "The online registration of such admitted patients was done once the server was restored," said Dr Bhati. Patients narrated their ordeal, saying that their time and money were wasted.
