OUTSTANDING ICT INNOVATIONS WINNERS

Organization: Apollo Hospital Enterprise, India

Project: Increase Levels of Patient Safety, Quality and Clinical Care by Adoption of Innovation in Nutrition Care Process

In 2014, Apollo developed the concept of a Digital Dietary Module to automate their Nutrition Care processes and advance the nutrition services operations with value-added technology and process automation.

Administering an electronic module and better managing the diet orders are just a few fundamental improvements. Having preventive food safety measures in place is also vital in eliminating the risk of errors, harmful reactions or even fatal outcomes related to food allergies.

Dietary module equips nutrition services to practice patient safety with features that can trigger alerts. The module is completely integrated with HIS-Med mantra. Patient information is securely transmitted across hospital departments. Using emerging mobile technology that interface with Dietary module, staff can directly, and therefore efficiently, input patient’s data into the system at bedside.

As the delivery of personalized patient care continues to be an ongoing initiative in Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, Dietary module is indispensable for nutrition service leaders who strive to achieve thriving patient satisfaction scores.

Future of work
ETCIO.com
June 19, 2020
Over the last few months, we've witnessed the transition from 'Working from Office' to 'Working from Home'. Even though we've had some time to ease ourselves into the change, the shift was almost immediate.


With offices being replaced by just devices and an internet connection, the way we work has also changed. Basic things like communication and collaboration now require a set of tools. The way we work remotely is shaped by the tool(s) we use. Whether it's sharing documents, scheduling meetings or giving daily work updates, we need a tool for everything. The solution to that has often been to introduce several apps and platforms and multitask between them constantly. The alternative is to have an all-in-one, seamless platform like Tata Communications that enables your workforce to work remotely.


While remote working has now become a norm, one can't help but wonder - what next? What is the future of work going to be? How does it affect the workforce? Will there be a change in work culture? To answer such pertinent questions, ETCIO.com and Tata Communications are organising a virtual roundtable to take you through the future of work.

Telehealth: the best option to meet your doctor
http://medicounsel.com/
May 17, 2020
Despite the existence of telecommunication and telemonitoring technology for decades, their actual value has just been realized recognized recently during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. This universal experience of handling a biological disaster will be bringing some last changes in the way the healthcare is delivered and received in India.
We believe that there is a huge opportunity to more efficiently utilize doctors’ time and hospital infrastructure. There is sufficient evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of the current Indian telehealth infrastructure.
In certain specific situations, a physical visit to the doctor or a healthcare facility is unnecessary. Telehealth has been documented to provide a safer method for close follow-up and monitoring the health of patients after surgery and for post-op convalescence.
Such an initiative is essential to relieve overburdened hospital systems, but could only succeed if patients can be educated to embrace the same.
This webinar will feature world-renowned experts, who will discuss the subject matter. It is intended to keep the patient perspective foremost throughout.

Ganapathy Krishnan, Member Board of Directors of Apollo Telemedicine Networking and Apollo Telehealth Services, Chennai
