1/n Few Suggestions #Covid19Karnataka #BedManagement
@DHFWKA @BBMPCOMM must have everything set. Yet,
1. Triage Task force - risk stratification - assign home/centre/hospital for initial care. Patients enter triage in two streams: New and already known(Home etc).
2/n
2. Bed management task force: Single decision maker, but have reps of all med colleges and large pvt hosp - avoids refusal from any such centre
3/n
3. Transport committee: 108, police, pvt ambulances and non ambulance dedicated vehicles. GPS enabled, parked at 8-10 points in the city. Activated as soon bed is located and blocked.
4/n
4. Clinical core committee: Approves triage protocols, treatment protocols in ICUs and non ICUs, out of hospital care, home care: adherence and data collection - Need to have both overseeing and advisory role. Please draw from both Govt and Pvt establishments
5/n
5. Public Health Task force: Epidemiologist, Virologist, network of trained support staff: Contact tracing, movement restrictions, sealing and containing
6/n
6. Hospital Liaison committee: Draw from Public health, BBMP, Clinicians - grade all set ups into 3 categories : Treating, holding, referring: holding= holds pts safely+ networked to a treating unit, Referring = first aid & refer Current 'no one can refuse' will costs lives
