Lucknow, 02 June: The Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak inaugurated a real-time app based dashboard at the Trauma Center of King George Medical University (KGMU) in Lucknow on Monday. This dashboard will transparently tell the general public and attendants the actual status of ventilator beds available in the ICU. This dashboard will be displayed at public places like trauma corridor.
It will show the status of ventilator beds being vacant or occupied in ICU in real time. The information will be updated automatically as soon as a patient is discharged. With this, people will be able to ensure by looking at the screen themselves whether the bed is available or not.
Trauma Center Medical Superintendent Dr Amiya Agarwal said that there is a common belief in the KGMU Lucknow at present that general patients do not get ventilator beds while VIPs are given priority. This dashboard will be a medium to break that notion and establish transparency. The general public will be able to know that if the bed is vacant, they can also get the service and they can confirm it themselves on the screen.
Deputy Chief Minister inspected the renovated CMS office room in the Trauma Center of KGMU and held a meeting with the university management and doctors and also gave necessary guidelines. Earlier, Brajesh Pathak met the patients admitted in the ward and their relatives and enquired about their health and took information about the arrangements and working style there and gave necessary guidelines to the university management and doctors.
On this occasion, Additional Chief Medical Superintendent Trauma Center Dr Somil Jaiswal, Dr Sameer Mishra, Incharge, School of Skill and Dr Dhirendra Patel and Dr Sameer Kumar, Casualty Medical Officer Trauma, KGMU were present.
