HSHRC Annual Report 2012-13 8
HARYANA STATE HEALTH RESOURCE CENTRE
P
Public Health Planning is the process of defining community health problems, identifying unmet needs, surveying resources to meet them, establishing priority goals that are feasible and projecting administrative actions to accomplish the purpose of proposed programs.
On a desk review it was seen that a large portion of Civil Surgeons and Deputy Civil
Surgeons
☂
time goes into reporting and fire-fighting on issues that need immediate attention instead of spending time in planning, innovation, developing and sharing best practices.
This study was conducted by HSHRC with an objective to analyze the workflow of
District level officers and of Civil Surgeon
☂ s office in districts of Haryana. It was planned to carry out a workflow analysis wherein it was planned to study the priority work of the Civil Surgeon and to map out activities of the Civil Surgeon and District
Program officers.
To begin with an in-house team of Consultants (PHP) visited 2 Districts
(Yamunanagar and Karnal) and conducted in-depth interviews elaborating the aspects of the work of District Civil Surgeons and all Deputy Civil Surgeons looking after various Health Programs at District level and the time utilization against work prioritization.
It was felt that to develop the concept further there was a need for an in-depth study into the area of organizational behavior. Thereafter collaboration was done with
Department of Organizational Behaviour (OB), IIM Ahmedabad with inputs from
School of Public Health, PGI Chandigarh and it was decided to conduct a systematic study with work-flow analysis of the district officers. Sampling of Districts was done so as to cover all the regions of the State. Visits were conducted to the sampled districts by Consultants and team members of IIM Ahmedabad for data collection.
Detail interviews were conducted with District Officers to know their work processes.
Desk review of secondary data collected from Health Department was also done. After the field visits, in depth interviews, desk review of secondary data and policy drafts, it
HSHRC Annual Report 2012-13 9
HARYANA STATE HEALTH RESOURCE CENTRE was seen that there is a great variation in the working of the civil surgeons. Role clarity was also lacking in them.
Most Civil Surgeons when asked about their main role in the system could not give a precise description of the roles and responsibilities that they are meant to discharge.
There was no uniformity in understanding of the work of a district health officer and there was also lot of variance in the tasks that different Civil Surgeons give importance to. While one Civil Surgeon spends most of the day handling reporting responsibilities another prefers to spend a lot of time in the field. Yet another chooses to remain in office and use a substantial part of the day in simply dealing with the correspondence. It also appeared that some Civil Surgeons spent a lot of time on tasks that could be effectively delegated.
Half of Civil Surgeons interviewed admitted to a deficiency in financial and administrative knowledge especially in preparation of the NRHM PIP.
Thus, professional training be provided to officers before appointment as Civil
Surgeons to give them adequate managerial, financial and program knowledge. At the same time, a clearer understanding of roles and responsibilities be provided to Civil
Surgeons with guidelines on the amount of time to be spent on each task, how to prioritize work and effectively delegate responsibilities.
A draft report is being prepared and will be submitted shortly. Results and recommendations of the study will be distributed to the stakeholders and can be put to use for making policy decisions and taking necessary actions for improving efficient working of district health administration.
Very first task assigned to HSHRC was the preparation of policy document for launch of Urban Health in Haryana. In order to develop the concept of the Urban
Health in Haryana several rounds of consultation were held with the DGHS, Dr
Narveer Singh, MD NRHM Sh. C R Rana, officer in-charge of Urban RCH, Director FW and other headquarter officers of DGHS and NRHM. Consultations were also held with the field level officers. An elaborate review of existing documents like the
Krishnan Committee report, Urban Health Task Force recommendation, study of
Calcutta project carried out by NHSHRC, Uttarkhand Urban Health experiment by
Urban Health Centre, etc and existing urban health schemes was also done. A conceptual document was presented before the Civil Surgeon conference. The final
HSHRC Annual Report 2012-13 10
HARYANA STATE HEALTH RESOURCE CENTRE document was submitted to the Govt. after inputs from the Principal Secretary,
Health. The concept was presented by the PS, Health before the CM of Haryana in presence of several departmental Secretaries connected with the issue of urban
Areas and the Urban Health Mission was formally announced by the Government in
2011.
The UHM broadly covered the following concepts: i.
To provide primary and specialized curative Health Services to the planned urban areas through Urban dispensaries and Polyclinics. ii.
In addition it envisaged the concept of providing comprehensive health services along with 24X7 maternity services and outreach services to the underserved and slum population through a UHC (Urban Health Centre). iii.
One UHC covered population of 50000 including majority of urban slum population which would be provided all public health preventive services. iv.
It was envisaged to integrate the state urban health mission with the NUHM as and when it is launched. v.
Initially it was planned to start with 11 Polyclinics and 11 UHCs.
After a meeting was convened by Principal Secretary, Labour, GOH for developing a comprehensive scheme for Building and other construction workers, the task for preparation of a proposal was assigned to HSHRC. The objective was to provide health coverage to the construction workers at their residence and work site and it was stated that the Haryana Building and other Construction Worker Welfare Board would be willing to finance such a project.
Construction workers are one of the most vulnerable segments of labour force . They and their families are more prone to High incidence of accidents, diarrheal diseases, tuberculosis, vector borne diseases, occupational exposure (COPD) and NCD ☂ s like diabetes and hypertension etc.
HSHRC prepared a draft proposal after discussion with officers in the Health
Directorate and presented before the Civil Surgeon conference on 19-9-12. In the proposal it was envisaged that comprehensive Health services will be provided to building and other construction workers at place of their residence through by opening Urban Health Centres, and at workplace through Urban Mobile Medical
Units (UMMU) that will provide all services of a small PHC, ambulance services for emergency cases, treatment at district hospitals and free treatment at tertiary
HSHRC Annual Report 2012-13 11
HARYANA STATE HEALTH RESOURCE CENTRE hospitals. Funding was approved by Labor Department and HSHRC would provide technical assistance as and when needed.

Work of formulating a proposal for a Public Health Cadre was assigned to HSHRC.
Preparatory data collection was done by team of consultants from HSHRC. Both quantitative and qualitative data collection was done for this. Visits were made by the consultants to various health facilities to know about the workload and do situational analysis.
For preparation of this report wider consultations were held with NRHM, DGHS and other officers of the Health Directorate and NRHM and also with the office bearers of the HCMS association. Presentations were also made in the meeting of the Civil
Surgeon. It is also felt necessary to study and list the core public health functions for ensuring health promotion, health protection and health service delivery for the entire population of our State. Taking into account the wider determinants of health, need was felt to highlight linkages between various stakeholders and public health functions for better inter-sectoral coordination.
A high level task force was formulated by the Government of India to assist in the formulation of public health cadre in the state of Haryana. The chairperson of task force Dr Salunke and his team visited the state and field visits were made to interview different District and State Program Officers. Visits to the offices of the
Key personalities like Principal Secretary, Health; Managing Director, NRHM;
Executive Director, HSHRC and Director General Health Services was organized.
A workshop was also organized in collaboration with PHFI under the chairpersonship of Principal Secretary Health and various stakeholders were invites in that. Issues related to this were discussed and a draft proposal was made.
Formulation of a detailed report is under process.
GOH decided to implement the Performance Monitoring & Evaluation System
(PMES) in the Department of Health vide which each department was asked to prepare a Results Framework Document (RFD ) which provides the summary of trends in previous years, achievements of current financial year and targets for the next three years. Objectives were defined for various divisions of Health
HSHRC Annual Report 2012-13 15
HARYANA STATE HEALTH RESOURCE CENTRE
Department like Maternal Health, Child Health, Family Planning, Referral Transport,
Community Process, IBSY, Construction, AYUSH, Drugs and Food Sampling etc.
These Objectives should be measured in terms of respective Actions and Success
Indicators. Various meetings were conducted with State Program Officers for compilation. Draft RFD was submitted. Changes were made as per suggestions by the Ministry. Final RFD Health for 2012-13 was completed and submitted. Targets versus achievements of RFD Health 2012-13 were reviewed periodically. First draft of RFD Health for the FY 2013-14 has been submitted.
Final RFD Health for 2013-14 will be completed and submitted to GOI. Review of
RFD will also be done.
In the state there are 54 General Hospitals 112 CHCs and 446 PHCs which provide a wide range of curative and preventive health care services. These institutions are providing treatment to 1.8 crores of patients in OPD and 1.6 Lacs indoor patients annually. Providing efficient healthcare services to patients in the state is the primary objective of the Department. Need was felt to put in place a suitable
Hospital Information System (HIS) to act as decision support system for hospital authorities/management for developing comprehensive healthcare policies for the benefit of citizen at large. In absence of computerization it becomes difficult to manage the patient load efficiently.
Earlier in 2009, an initiative in the regard was taken when, Expression of Interest
(EOI) in this regard was floated and 33 quotes were received in 2009. But the process could not be successfully completed.
In order to successfully accomplish computerization of hospitals HSHRC was directed to prepare scope of work, select a consultant for preparation of RFP by involving Directorate, NRHM and IT department in June 2012. It was decided to go through a consultative phase with the help of a competent consultant so as to draw up an effective overall solution blueprint and a roadmap for implementation. NISG &
NIC/NICSI were invited to give presentations regarding providing project consultation. Simultaneously a multidisciplinary committee was constituted to look at the presentations and evaluate. NIC expressed its inability to undertake the consulting engagement. NISG made a detailed presentation before the committee on
13-08-2012 and they were requested to submit a Techno Commercial proposal. The
NISG submitted a techno Commercial on which the committee in its meeting on 14-
09-2012 considered the proposal and recommended that advice of the Department of information Technology (IT) should be taken in this regard. IT PRISM approved the NISG for Engagement of National Institute of Smart Governance (NISG) on

03-01-2013. A contract draft was prepared in consultation with NISG and vetted by the representative of the IT department, Haryana on 14-02-2013.The same proposal was sent to be vetted by the Legal Remembrance to Govt of Haryana and was approved by the same on 27-02-2013. Finally the MOU was signed between NISG and Govt. of Haryana on 03-04-2013.
As per MOU NISG has been asked to Prepare of scope of work, high level requirements, limited assessment of ready to use products available in the market including its feasibility for use, preparation and floating of RFP, evaluation of tender, selection of vendor and award of contract NISG presented its report on As Is process, Best Practices and To Be process in a meeting held on May 31, 2013. Based on the observations of the stakeholders NISG has been asked to submit Updated report on To Be report as part of Detailed Project Report. NISG has been asked to prepare detailed project (DPR) report by Second week of June and also to present
Solution Architecture on July 1, 2013.
HSHRC was given the task of conducting mapping of urban slums in order to plan the Urban Health Mission in Haryana. After making inquiries about the process from other states like Orissa it was decided to do the process by means of GIS mapping.
For this work it was decided to involve HARSAC (Haryana Remote Sensing
Organization) under the Department of Science and Technology (DST) for which meeting was held with the Principal Secretary of the DST.
A proposal was invited from HARSAC for preparation of City Maps. After discussion it was felt that since HARSAC have already prepared digital maps on village boundaries they can also map the political boundaries of each health centre.
In the mapping exercise of city maps there was a need to conduct a detail mapping of spatial distribution of urban population. There is lack of detailed information at the state level about the existing urban slums (notified and non-notified) and vulnerable, deprived and excluded populations along with health delivery infrastructure at city/town level.
Objectives of Urban Slum Mapping :
1) Listing, Identification and plotting of listed & unlisted slums on administrative
/political level, along with spatial extension.
2) Plotting population distribution in space on GIS maps.
HSHRC Annual Report 2012-13 17
HARYANA STATE HEALTH RESOURCE CENTRE
3) To identify the geographical location of the health facilities from Sub-centre level to
District Hospital along with the area being served and transport network for access to particular facility.
4) The mapping process will include the mapping of slums (notified and non-notified), the under-served urban pockets and urban colonies. There are large number of existing health centers, started at different times by different agencies like HUDA dispensaries, RCH centers under NRHM, Post Partum centre
☂ s for Family Planning services and ESI dispensaries. These will be put on the digital map to aid in planning and resource allocation for optimum results.
Deliverables of this activity: a. District wise Geo-referenced Digital Maps of Slums and Government Health Facilities and a state level integrated map. b. All maps will contain the following thematic layers in addition to the above: i. Latest available settlements map layer ii. Latest available Transport Network map layer. iii. Latest political boundary layer of health centres. iv. Integration of health Data on the GIS maps.
This activity will be completed by October 2013.

HSHRC was given the responsibility to formulate new drug policy for the state to streamline the procurement processes. In this regard a workshop was held on
4/10/2012 involving Civil Surgeons, Deputy Civil Surgeons (procurement), chief pharmacist from various districts in the chairmanship of Principle Secretary, Health.
A detailed presentation showing the present procurement process, its problem areas and suggestions was given by Dr. Ashish Gupta, ED (HSHRC).
Two districts were visited in this regard and many meetings were conducted involving doctors from General Hospitals to get their views and suggestions regarding purchase procedures including local purchase. Drug policies of other states were reviewed especially the policy related to Tamil Nadu Medical System
Corporation (TNMSC). As a result of above all efforts the new medicine purchase policy for Haryana was framed on the TNMSC model.
The new medicine purchase policy includes central procurement wing responsible for centralized purchase order and ware houses with online inventory system to improve storage conditions and maintain supply chain. Policy for local purchase of drugs and consumables has also been raised with increase of financial payments.

Rational medicine use reduces cost of care, results in better clinical outcome & prevents antibiotic resistance. WHO in 2011 has declared that antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest public health problem.. Some reforms have already been done to promote rational drug use in Haryana like drawing up Essential Medicine List
(EML) in which irrational combinations were eliminated. For promoting rational use of drugs this purpose, HSHRC has carried out the following activities:
The main objective of the prescription audits was to find out the irrationality in the prescriptions in terms of poor prescribing practices. Prescription audit of 7 districts
Kurukshetra, Palwal, Panchkula, Ambala, Hisar, Panipat and Rewari were carried out. Districts were selected randomly. Prescriptions were collected as 10% of the
OPD load in the facility. All the prescriptions were checked and verified for various parameters of the ideal prescription like mentioning of investigations, diagnosis, drug name (Generic or Branded), drug formulation, dosage, drug strength, number of drugs prescribed, and availability of prescribed drug in the hospital pharmacy.
The prescription audit report of district Kurukshetra and Palwal has been prepared and sent to the respective districts for appropriate corrective actions to be taken.
Draft report of other 5 districts (Panchkula, Ambala, Hisar, Panipat, and Rewari) is ready and will be sent to the respective districts to improve the prescribing quality.
Findings of the prescription audit of Kurukshetra and Palwal suggested the following-
C.2.1.1 Incomplete format of PrescriptionsThis affects the outcome of treatment in terms of inadequacies and adverse effects. Not even single prescription was found complete in the standard format. Components like standard pattern of history taking, general physical examinations, diagnosis and routine investigations were missing. Treatment was incomplete in respect of dosage form, strength, frequency and duration of the treatment. In 58% prescriptions all drugs were written in generic names. In 27% of prescriptions a mix of generic and brand naming of drugs were used.
C.2.1.2 PolypharmacyIt was found that the number of drugs prescribed per encounter in hospital was 3.4 and higher than the WHO recommended values of 1.6-1.8 (WHO:
Geneva, WHO/DAP/93.1, 1993)
HSHRC Annual Report 2012-13 22
HARYANA STATE HEALTH RESOURCE CENTRE
C.2.1.3 No mention of drug strengthIn 84 % of the drugs, Strength of the drugs was not mentioned. In 71% prescriptions, none of the drugs that were prescribed mentioned the strength while in 29% of the prescriptions strength was mentioned with some of the drugs only. Strength of all the drugs prescribed was mentioned in only 16% of the prescriptions
C.2.1.4 Non availability of prescribed drugs in hospital pharmacyIn 51% of prescriptions all drugs prescribed were available in the pharmacy, in 44 % of prescriptions some of the prescribed medicines were not available in pharmacy, and in 4% of prescriptions, none of the drug prescribed was available in the pharmacy.
This shows that our inventory is not complete in respect of OPD prescriptions.
C.2.1.5 Overuse of analgesics and antibioticsFrom the present audit it was found that antibiotics and analgesics are prescribed unnecessarily and drugs required to be given for prolonged period like for Hypertension, Diabetes, Epilepsy and Anemia are not prescribed for the required time period. 54 % prescriptions were having antibiotics as compared to the WHO standard of 15-25%. While, 57% of the prescriptions were having analgesics. Fixed Dose Combinations which were not included in EML of Haryana but are present in CPSU medicine list are being used.
This is evident that we are wasting our resources on purchase of antibiotics and are not able to provide relatively cheap medicines used for chronic illnesses.

C.2.1.6 Inadequate treatmentAnemia, a major public health problem was found inadequately treated even at the district hospital level. A severely anemic baby was given iron which was inadequate in doses and duration. Even delivery cases and post natal cases are not being treated adequately. Iron and Calcium are given in once a day doses even at Hb 9.0 gm and duration of the drugs prescribed is not mentioned. If mentioned, it is not adhered to by the dispensing pharmacist. One post

HARYANA STATE HEALTH RESOURCE CENTRE natal case complaining of giddiness while getting up was not investigated for Hb even when her antenatal Hb was 8.5 gm/dl.
C.2.1.7 Non specific treatmentMany instances of non specific treatment were there.
Analgesic, antihistaminic, antacid and antipyretic were given simultaneously leading to polypharmacy. A large number of prescriptions were having same drugs without any provisional diagnosis.
Future Plan- A workshop will be held at the state level to share the findings so that appropriate corrective actions can be taken at the earliest in all districts. This activity will be continued and prescription audit of other districts will be conducted to see the level of improvement.
HSHRC has started a training session on a topic of
☜
Rational use of drugs and
Medication safety
☝
in induction training to newly recruit medical officers and dental surgeons. The trainings were organized in SIHFW, Sector-6 Panchkula. Total 5 such training sessions were held in the year 2012-2013.
C.2.3.1 Workshop on
☜
Rational Use of Drugs and Standard Treatment Guidelines
☝
was conducted on 11th July 2012 under the chairmanship of Principle Secretary, Health.
A total of 32 doctors from all district hospitals of Haryana attended the workshop.
As per programme, 4 interactive sessions were conducted by Dr. Usha Gupta and
Dr. Sangeeta Sharma from Delhi Society for Promotion of Rational Use of Drugs
(DSPRUD). The discussion was on Global and national scenario of Rational Drug Use
(RDU), STG was advocated as an important tool for promoting RDU. It was concluded in the meeting that there is need to develop STG for Haryana with involvement of specialist doctors from district hospitals. It was decided that there will be a STG core committee at the state level headed by DGHS, Haryana. For each specialty a subcommittee was made comprising of up to 10 doctors per specialty with senior doctor as mentor for the group.
Future Plan- Along with doctors the paramedical staff and patients play major role in rational use of medicines. To educate paramedical staff, HSHRC would conduct trainings and workshops to promote rational use of medicines.

C.2.3.2 Workshop regarding
☜ setting up of Haryana Medical Service Corporation
☝
was conducted on 21st March 2013 at SIHFW in the presence of Shri Poornalingam,
Former Principle Secretary to Tamil Nadu Government who set up the TNMSC. The workshop was attended by Principle Secretary, DGHS, MD NRHM, ED HSHRC, Civil
Surgeons, PMOs and Chief Pharmacists. The main objective of the workshop was to overview the success story behind setting up of Tamil Nadu Medical Service
Corporation (TNMSC) subsequently followed with the discussion on setting up of
Haryana Medical Service Corporation (HMSC) to streamline the process of procurement of drugs, consumables and equipments at the State Level.
To achieve the goal of uninterrupted free supply of good quality medicines to all patients attending public health facilities in the state, rational use needs to be focused. Rational use of medicines helps in providing standardized level of care to patients avoiding adverse outcomes. Standard Treatment Guideline, Essential List of
Medicines, Rational prescribing, Prescription Audit and Patient Education are some of the important tools for the success of rational use. Standard Treatment Guidelines
(STG) are systematically developed evidence based guiding principles for optimal patient care. It is an important document to guide the prescribers (doctors), dispensers (pharmacists) and those who plan the medicine purchase. It saves Govt. funds spent on procurement of irrational combination.
Therefore, with the aim to promote the rational use of medicines the drug unit has successfully completed the content planning process of

HARYANA STATE HEALTH RESOURCE CENTRE
Drug Division has conducted drug store audits of six districts, namely Kurukshetra,
Panchkula, Ambala, Hisar, Panipat, and Rewari. Selection of the districts was done on the random basis. During the audit visit was made to the Central stores of the district, main store of the General Hospital and store of one Primary Health Center.
Main objective of the store audit was to assess the process of drug procurement and drug inventory management to identifying the gaps/weaknesses in the existing system at various levels of its implementation; to produce evidence on the actual availability and stock-outs of drugs at the frontline service provider level. During the audit various documentations like Stock registers, Indent books, Procurement Plan of the district, Quarterly demand documents from the facilities, Invoices/bills of drug purchases, Inspection notes, Supply orders and Sanctions obtained were checked and verified to get relevant data. Physical verification of the drugs was conducted. Stock position of the drugs, their Stock out duration was also verified with the stock register.
Report of districts Kurukshetra and Panchkula highlighting the findings along with suggestions for improvement have been compiled as a report and shared with the district. The draft report of rest of the districts (Ambala, Hisar, Panipat and Rewari) has been compiled.
Findings from Drug store audit of district Kurukshetra and Panchkula suggested following-
- Ventilation in stores is poor. Racks are there but number is not adequate and are arranged in such a way that these block the air flow to all medicines. Drug cartoons are kept directly on the floor. Anti-snake venom was kept in Almirah which should be in ILR. There was no room thermometer and hygrometer available to measure room temperature & humidity in both the stores.
Erupted walls in the store Erupted walls and congested space within the store
HSHRC Annual Report 2012-13 27
HARYANA STATE HEALTH RESOURCE CENTRE
Walls inside the store are erupted and broken at many places which results in pest infestation inside the store.
Many important essential medicines were out of stock. These included drugs like Injection Pentazocine (an opioid analgesic and also used as pre-anesthetic medication), Tablet Amlodipine (an antihypertensive agent), Tablet Dicylomine (an antispasmodic agent), and Tablet and Syrup
Cotrimoxazole (a sulphonamide antibiotic recommended in IMNCI manual). Tablet
Phenobarbitone, Tablet Methyldopa, Tablet Ranitidine, Tablet Atenolol,
Tablet Frusemide.
In Panchkula 16 items were checked randomly for the stock position at the time of supply order out of which 3 items were nil/out of stock and for 4 items stock was very low and in other 9 items some stock was present. In Kurukshetra , Syrup
Paracetamol was out of stock for more than 6 months time.
From the above information it can be easily interpreted that no concept is in place for calculation of the buffer Stock, reorder level and Working stock.
Quarter wise procurement plan was prepared for the district but there is discrepancy between demand received from field and amount of medicines ordered by central store. The re-order level of each medicine had not been calculated to avoid stock outs and overstocking. This shows that demand generation from field i.e. Quantification of medicines for making supply orders is poor which a crucial step is in drug management system. Therefore, the district is not able to provide uninterrupted supply to all patients. There have been instances of cancelling the orders given earlier mainly because of the non supply of the orders placed. No risk purchase was done in case of non supply and no penalty was deducted in case of delayed supply or part supply. No in house test report was found with some of the bills. There is no prescribed performa of inspection report so that there is no scope of missing any point.
Analysis of yearly consumption of all medicines in both the districts randomly selecting 7 medicine groups namely Antibiotic,
Analgesic, Antihistaminic, Bronchodilator, Antihypertensive, Antidiabetics and
Antiepileptic clearly shows that there is over consumption of analgesic and antibiotic group of medicines and underuse of antihypertensives, antiepileptics, antidiabetics and medicines for bronchial asthma despite of the fact that antibiotics are required for a short period of time while the medicines for other mentioned groups need prolonged treatment.

Under the centralized medicine testing unit some labs would be empanelled at the
State level to perform the drug testing in their laboratories which would in turn help the government to monitor the quality of drugs being procured from various firms.
In the context of the above, HSHRC proposed to set up a Centralized Drug Testing
Unit at the State level. For this purpose, it was planned to empanel private drug testing laboratories. In the process, a tender document was prepared and floated.
Bids of 14 labs were received. These were reviewed by the designated committee comprising of members form HSHRC, NRHM, State Drug Controller and State
Analytical Labs. 7 labs have been approved for the empanelment on L1 rates.
For the first time in Haryana, it is now possible to test and check the quality of total
677 items including drugs, consumables, surgical and suture items before they are distributed to the peripheral facilities.
Future Plan The overall process with its documentation will be handed over to the centralized drug procurement wing which has been set up under NRHM Haryana.
Further activities will be taken up by the procurement wing.

☂ s in-house Quality Assurance team had initiated the process of Quality Improvement in sixteen District Hospital of Haryana which aimed at improving the quality of services in three departments ☂ viz. Accident,
Emergency and Trauma Department, Maternity units and laboratories.
The focus was laid majorly on three departments of Emergency & Trauma
Department, Maternity & Labour Room and Laboratory because:
· They are considered to be the backbone of Hospital services
· Maximum patient volumes in public hospitals are in these departments
· These three departments Cater to critical patients
· Handling of medico-legal cases is responsibility of these three departments
· There are specific training requirements
· Functional 365*24*7, so there are more chances of errors & litigations, patient safety is a major concern
· These are largely responsible for the public image of the hospital
Aim of the project was to initiate Quality Improvement Process for district hospitals other than those selected for NABH accreditation and to improve the quality of healthcare delivery services.
Objectives of the project included: a. To assess the existing service delivery standards of the district hospitals to identify the baseline level of Health care delivery of services. b. To assess the existing infrastructure, equipment, manpower, process flow c. To suggest alterations in structural designs of the facilities to meet the requirement. d. To initiate documentation for various activities. e. To reinforce training requirements for the clinical and non clinical staff.

As Is
☝ gap audits were conducted in DH- Ambala on 26 th November 2012, DH- Sirsa on
13 th and 14 th December 2012, DH-Kurukshetra on 4 th January 2013. In these gap audits: v Existing infrastructure of 3 departments was studied in detail. v Manpower for the hospitals was compared against sanctioned strength as well as manpower actually required as per workload. v Equipment gaps were assessed using the work load of specialty and advancement of technology. v State of Regulatory compliances was assessed.
As a result of the gap audits it was concluded that standardization of these departments with respect to infrastructure, manpower and process flow needs to be done, this lead to a thought that development of standards for the Emergency Department and Maternity units needs to be done. For labs it was decided to use NABL standards as benchmark.
D.12.1 Development of standards for Maternity Units:
HSHRC Annual Report 2012-13 40
HARYANA STATE HEALTH RESOURCE CENTRE
In order to standardize maternity/ labour rooms ☂ steps were taken to develop standards for maternity/ labour rooms. A proposed draft having the following was developed:
· Basis for calculating beds for antenatal ward, number of delivery tables required against district wise workload was calculated. Number of ante-natal beds, number of pre-natal beds, and number of post-natal beds required against district wise workloads was also worked upon.
· Infrastructure of rooms with proposed layout of a maternity unit was developed having the following essential area demarcations:
1) Waiting area and Lobby
2) Antenatal Room with designated Eclampsia Beds
3) MTP Room
4) Examination and Preparation Room
5) Pre-Delivery Room
6) Delivery Room
7) Post Natal Room
· Equipment required was separately incorporated along with the essential medications.
The draft developed was not finalized due to duplication of activity. Later on
GOI has come up with the MNH standards and these can be adopted by the state as it is.
D.12.2 QUALITY IMPROVEMENT FOR LABORATORIES AS PER NABL (ISO-15189)
Introduction
Laboratory services form the
☜ back bone of a hospital
☝
. Lab services must be consistent and dependable to correctly access and manage patients with various illnesses. Without accurate lab services, test results may be wrong, and if they are not accurate, consistent, and dependable, every effort is essential to raise them to acceptable standards.

Laboratories in district hospitals handle a huge amount of workload, increased service delivery at district hospitals lead to a compromise in the quality of reporting of laboratory results. Quality Management Systems for laboratory is vital for standardisation of laboratories as per Pre-Analytical systems (Sample collection/ Phlebotomy and transportation of samples), Analytical systems (Analysis of patient samples) and Post ♠ analytical systems (result reporting and monitoring patient turnaround times)
The NABL standards (ISO- 15189) include the following parameters which are related to
MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS
Organization & Management Quality Management Systems, Document Control, Review of
Contracts, Examination by referral laboratories, External Services and Supplies, Advisory
Services, Resolution of Complaints, Identification & controls of Non-conformities,
Corrective Action, Preventive Action, Continual Improvement, Quality and Technical
Records, Internal Audits, Management Reviews
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Personnel Accommodation and Environmental Conditions, Laboratory Equipment, Preexamination Procedures, Examination Procedures, Assuring the Quality of Examination procedures, Post -examination Procedures, Reporting of Results
HSHRC has initiated the NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration

D.12.3 QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OF EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AT DISTRICT LEVEL
Introduction and Objective
At present the Accident & Emergency department (A & ED) of District Hospitals is stretched beyond capacity. There are a total of 21 districts in Haryana. During the year
2011-12, a total of 7,04,384 patients were treated in A & ED. On an average about approx
5,00,000 patients are treated in A &ED on OPD basis out of which about 70,000 are admitted ,with about 2000 MLCs and 300 Post mortems being done.
Keeping in view of the above statistics it was felt that there is a need to evolve standards for infrastructure, equipment and manpower in the Accident & Emergency Department for
District level hospitals in Haryana. For this purpose the strategy decided is as follows:
Step 1 Formation of Manual
Step 2 Gap Analysis : After finalising the manual, gap analysis of various health facilities
( district hospitals) would be conducted by quality assurance team of HSHRC in terms of infrastructure, manpower, equipment and processes followed by the gap closure of the gaps.
HSHRC Annual Report 2012-13 43
HARYANA STATE HEALTH RESOURCE CENTRE
Step 3 Gap Closure: The gaps identified would be analysed at state level and a responsibility matrix would be developed and the process of gap closure would be initiated.
1) Educational visit was made to District hospital Ernakulum, Kochi, Kerela
2) Thirteen MOs have been sponsored for PG Certificate course in QM & AHO (Quality
Management and Accreditation in Healthcare Organization) by Academy of Hospital
Administration (AHA) as a capacity building exercise out of which 4 have already cleared the examination and have received certificates.
3) Three doctors and one lab technician sponsored for training in ISO 15189 (NABL) standards.
4) ACLS trainings already provided to 2 Anesthetists at GH-Gurgaon.
5) Two doctors have been trained as NABH assessors at State level.
In the current year more doctors will be trained in PG Certificate course in QM & AHO
(Quality Management and Accreditation in Healthcare Organization) for orientation.
ACLS Provider Trainings to be provided to Anesthetists in DH-Rohtak, DH-Hisar, DH-
Panchkula DH- Faridabad, CHC-Kalka and CHC-Dabwali.

Monitoring and Evaluation is an essential management tool which helps to ensure that health activities are implemented as planned and to assess whether desired results are being achieved or not. It provides concurrent feedback on the progress of activities and helps to identify the problems in their implementation and suggests corrective actions for the same.
The population coverage by CHC is one among the important factors that influence the accessibility of health care services. The prescribed guideline as per the central government to establish a CHC is 80,000 to 1, 20,000 populations. Furthermore every CHC envisaged as primary and secondary care provider to rural and semi urban population. The Indian Public Health Standards are the benchmarks which have set a standards for minimum infrastructure, service availability, human resource and quality standards for CHC in India.
A study was designed with an aim to assess CHCs according to the population served and to the status of availability of services, accessibility, human resource and service utilization at CHCs. The tool for data collection was developed using Indian
Public Health Standard (IPHS, revised 2012) for CHCs and regular HMIS formats
(GoI) for service utilized at CHCs. Total of 109 CHCs were covered in the study.

The study revealed that only 13% of the CHCs fitted in the norms of catering
80,000 to 1,20,000 population.
· 20% CHCs were covering less than 80,000 population, out of which
14% CHCs were covering even less than 50,000 population.
· 18% CHCs of the state were covering more than 2,00,000 population. Certainly these CHCs may face difficulties in providing services to its beneficiaries compromising the
HSHRC Annual Report 2012-13 46
HARYANA STATE HEALTH RESOURCE CENTRE quality of services being provided.
· Hence, 38% CHCs require attention of Policy makers and managers to rationalise as per coverage and CHC norms.
· Most CHCs of Jhajjar (67% CHCs (4 out of 6)) and Bhiwani (44% CHCs (4 out of 9)) districts had less than 50,000 population covered under it
· Most of the CHCs in Mewat (3 out of 3), Panipat (2 out of 3), Karnal (3 out of 6) and
Fatehabad (4 out of 4) districts serve more than 2 lakhs population.
E.1.1.1 Status of availability of services :
· 8% of the CHCs were not providing even basic services like 24-hour delivery services (normal and assisted) and ante natal & post natal clinics.
· Emergency obstetric care including surgical interventions like caesarean sections and other medical interventions were available only in 9% of the total CHCs.
· Blood storage facility was available only in 4% CHCs.
· RTI/STI services are available at 79% CHCs and ICTC services in 47% CHCs.
· X-rays were available in 47% CHCs and ECG was in only 22% CHCs.
· MTP services were available at 33% CHCs. Permanent Family planning methods were not done at 62% CHCs.
· 25% CHCs were not providing RTI/STI services at all.
E.1.1.2 Status of Human resource at CHCs:
· There were filled positions of only 39 specialists in all CHCs added together instead of 665 as per IPHS norms, indicating a gap of 94%.
· Not even half number of Medical officers and AYUSH officers (47%) were available at CHCs as per IPHS norms.
· Availability of Lab technicians in CHCs was slightly better (i.e. 87%) as compared to other health staff.
· Medical officers of AYUSH were in position in 49% CHCs.
· 32%, 41% and 52% positions of the Nursing staff, Pharmacists and Radiographers respectively were found vacant in CHCs.
The study suggests that Blood storage and Emergency Obstetric care services should be improved at the CHCs, so that the FRUs can be declared fully functional.
Minimum staff provision for 24 delivery service and other required facilities should be provisioned. There is need of rationalization of staff availability, improvement in infrastructure to improve OPD/IPD services at CHCs.
HSHRC Annual Report 2012-13 47
HARYANA STATE HEALTH RESOURCE CENTRE
The CHCs, formed below the prescribed norm of population may have less workload and hence underutilized. The human resource deployed in these CHCs need to be rationalized as per its utilization of the services.
The CHCs which are covering less than prescribed population norm may be recategorized into Level II and II and declared as different level of CHCs which will have slightly more staff position than PHCs but less than that of CHCs.
On the other hand, the CHC which were covering population more than the prescribed norm is bound to be overloaded may be categorized as Level I Plus .
More human resource may be deployed in these CHCs to improve service delivery.
Immediate attention needed to the CHCs (6) which were serving more than 3 lakh population. Additional CHCs should be planned in the area where the population coverage is more than the prescribed norm. These CHCs may also be taken as FRUs.
The detailed report is in final submission phase.

This study was conceptualized with an aim to identify gaps in the present infant and maternal death audit system of Haryana for further reduction in IMR and MMR of the state. MMR of state although is less than average MMR for India and IMR is just the same for both, but there is a long way to go for achieving better health indicators for the state. These can be achieved by answering few questions like whether
Haryana health department is able to find out the exact cause of death of a mother or infant. Are there any gaps in present verbal autopsy process by health functionaries? Therefore, a third party evaluation was done by CRY organization and HSHRC. Funds for the study were provided by CRY while HSHRC provided technical and logistic support.
Objectives of the study were:
1. To assess the present process of Infant and Maternal Death audit in Haryana
2. To check the efficacy of existing data on maternal and infant deaths by back checking of selected sample.
3. To identify gaps in the audit process of Infant and Maternal Deaths and recommend corrective measures
Four critical districts were selected from all the four regional divisions of Haryana state. All the maternal deaths and 5% of the reviewed infant deaths was the selected sample for this study. Teams from HSHRC co-ordinated CRY at various issues. A one day workshop was organized for the district level stakeholders to make them aware of the study and to take their inputs for betterment and making data collection process easy and successful.
HSHRC Annual Report 2012-13 49
HARYANA STATE HEALTH RESOURCE CENTRE
Various tools were developed to collect data for finding the answers of objectives.
Verbal autopsy forms in local language and interview questionnaires for health functionaries and a check list to assess the autopsy process was developed. A team from CRY constituted by data enumerators and supervisors visited the households of the deceased person and verbal autopsies were done. In-depth interviews of concerned medical staff and district level officers were also done.
This Study is still going on as final findings and report is in progress. Valuable recommendations for improving the audit process will be extracted from the findings.

Equipment is the essential infrastructure element and major contributor along with drugs, facilities, manpower and other devices for the delivery of various diagnostic and therapeutic services to the people. Health care technology management cycle includes various activities for the equipment under management.
Out of nine steps of the cycle, three important steps after procurement and installation are (a) training and skill development, (b) operation and safety and (c) maintenance and repair. In spite of its obvious importance, equipment often does not receive proper attention in terms of planning, incorporation and management.
A study was planned by Monitoring & Evaluation division of HSHRC with an aim to strengthen the ongoing system of planning, acquisition and maintenance of the medical equipments for a comprehensive and more effective management at CHCs of
Haryana.
Haryana state is having 21 districts and there are 110 Community Health Centers.
CHCs, sub-divisional hospitals and General hospitals are all meant to provide secondary level of care to the patients.
Moreover, CHCs compared to SDH and GH is more accessible to people in terms of distance and time need to travel. CHCs are

CHCs are not up to the mark or adequate in quantity and quality.
Therefore CHCs are chosen as the area for this study. Assessment of the availability, shortage, working order and utilization of various medical equipments along with various possible reasons for idleness of the equipments in community health centers were its main objectives. All the CHCs were covered in this study and list of 47 major equipments in CHCs was considered by short listing the equipments from IPHS list.
Biomedical engineering division of NRHM collaborated with HSHRC for data
HSHRC Annual Report 2012-13 51
HARYANA STATE HEALTH RESOURCE CENTRE collection procedure. Biomedical engineers at districts visited CHCs for collecting required information for the study.
Key findings of the study are as follows:
· There is a shortage of 26% for all these 47 equipments at CHCs and 21% equipments lie idle due to one or more reasons.
· There is no CHC in Haryana where all these equipments were present and no district with CHCs having medical equipments more than 75%.
· Two districts were found to be having idle equipments by more than 30%.
· Equipment wise idleness showed that there were 14 equipments which were idle by more than 30% in the CHCs. These equipments are shown in following graph.
· The Blood storing refrigerators were idle by 72% followed by Halothane
Vaporizer with 64% and colorimeter by 30%
· These 14 equipments were from labour, surgical, radiology, laboratory and neonatal care departments.
Health services hampered due to medical equipment idleness:
· Specialty services to the patients like complicated deliveries, major operations and operations under general anesthesia.
Major reason for idleness :
Ø Non availability of professionals and technical staff to operate that equipment
(15%)
Ø 12% equipments received without demand/indent
Ø 12% awaited condemnation of non-working equipments
Ø Repairing, training of the staff and under utilization of CHCs with no load of patients were the other major contributors of equipment idleness.
Final report and recommendations are in progress.
