Moshen Zargar and rejuvenating a Hospital


Running a hospital is not Childs play believes Janine Keane employed with Doctors United. Janine Zargar and Moshen Zargar have been involved with the hospital business for a major part of their life. Janine Zargar believes that running a hospital is not like running any other business as many people feel who really haven’t had the taste of running a hospital so far. The kinds of challenges and the number of problems present before a hospital administrator are quite unique and can rise in numbers either seasonally or abruptly. The trend may also be quite surprising in different areas due to the geographical or climate difference.

Some suggestions from Janine Keane and Moshen Zargar have gone a long way in turning the hospitals as one of the best healthcare facilities in the area. There are many changes that can be done either in the working style or the infrastructure of the hospital that would work out success stories for these health care facilities. A hospital with a facility for a critical illness care would go a long way in the popularity of the hospital. As instances of cardiac diseases, cancer, brain diseases and vital organ diseases are on the rise people tend to go hospitals that can at least provide the basic treatment for all these problems. There should be ample of men, machines and support staff to man this critical care module.

A hospital should take care to develop a network of the best physicians who are known in their field of operation. A professional partnership with a network of independent physicians will help a hospital to get more referrals from these physicians. If a hospital is specializing in a particular sector like cancer, cardiac diseases then these hospitals can provide references of individual physicians in case the disease of a particular individual is out of their purview.

A hospital needs to keep an optimum stock of all the essential goods that are required either in an emergency or even in routine practice. The staff in the hospital should not be seen running around for life saving drugs or injections once a patient who requires emergency treatment arrives in their premises. The Hospital should maintain their own blood bank if possible as it makes blood transfusion much easy and a quick process rather than getting blood from a different blood bank.

A 24x7 service in a hospital will further increase the popularity of the hospital provide it has all the facilities to face any emergency like an accident or outbreak of any major disease. The footfall in such a hospital that is ready for any emergency 24x7 will be more than a healthcare facility that has limited hours of operation.

The fun of using a HMIS according to Janine Keane


The hospital Management Information System has almost become a must have for all healthcare facilities worldwide believes Janine Keane. This is due to the increasing number of patients and the workload on the Hospital Managers who have been already working overtime due to a paucity of staff and the swelling number of patients due to the sedentary lifestyle of people in the modern era.

Hospital Management Information System is quite essential as it helps in the smooth functioning of the hospital. One can easily access the varied data of a patient that has been stored at different locations. The information may vary from the demographic details of the patient to the past medical history of the patient that has been stored at some other medical facility. This kind of system is quite beneficial in maintaining the record of outdoor patients also in enhancing the continuity of health care. The use of internet has significantly improved the access of data from remote locations.

Hospital Management Information System is quite beneficial in the decision support system for the healthcare authorities as al the data can be collected at one place, analyzed and hence a decision to the best interest of the facility can be taken. Moshen Zargar believes that hospital Management Information System has changed the way Hospital was managed in the past. It has become quite easy to foresee the kinds of challenges one is going to face in future. Past records and present trends can be easily accessed and used to plan for the future.

The Hospitals performance in terms of the patients served in a particular time period or the amount of income or the amount of expenditure made in a particular time period can be easily calculated at a click of mouse. There are several organizations that are providing Healthcare facilities with these kinds of Management Information software’s. According to Janine Zargar it’s up to the Hospital to decide if particular software matches their requirements in terms of budget and needs.

There are several modules that can be included into a package when one goes in for a Hospital Management Information System. The various modules that can be included in a complete package are Registration, Medical Records, Hospital Scheduler, Duty Roster, Biomedical Maintenance, Outpatient, Inpatient, Medical Stores and Purchases, Lab and Pharmacy, Blood Bank, Clinical Manager, Fixed Assets, Finance and Accounts, Human Resource Management and Payroll, Security & Administrator. Its not important that you need to get all these modules in your facility as a small facility will have less requirements and a bigger facility will have some additional requirements. There are different requirements for a facility that is spread into different locations either through the state, country or the Globe.

Importance of training for Paramedics according to Janine Zargar

The paramedic staff forms the backbone of the healthcare industry according toJanine Zargar She is of the view that a well trained Paramedic can save many a lives with his training and experience and can buy time for a critically wounded patient while he is transported to the nearest health care facility available. Paramedics are the first ones to reach a scene of accident or a site that has seen some trauma. Thus its up to the first aid of the paramedic on which hands the life of a wounded person. One wrong move can result in the death of the patient.

Moshen Zargar with Doctors United feels that its of utmost importance for a Paramedic to keep his cool even in the most gruesome scenes of accident. The paramedic should know the Do's and Don’ts while attending to his patients in the most volatile situations.

A paramedic is expected to be well trained in spinal injury management including  immobilization and safe transport of the patient whenever there is a situation that demands a patient to be transported with a spinal injury due to a fall or any other accident. According to Janine Zargar spinal injuries contribute for a majority of permanent disability cases all across the world. If a Paramedic is well trained in managing a situation where a patient is suspected to be suffering from spinal injury the chances of a permanent disability can be reduced to a great extent.

A paramedic should know the priority when there is large number of patients waiting for treatment in an accident involving many people. Janine Zargar feels that a paramedic should be well trained in fracture management, which includes assessment, splinting, and use of traction splints. Thus it is of utmost importance for a paramedic to keep his presence of mind. The future diagnosis and treatment will be based on the observation and report of the paramedic. There are times when a paramedic will be called in during childbirth. The paramedic should be in a position to gauge the situation whether it will be a normal delivery or how fast the patient needs to be in hospital and what treatment needs to be administered in the meantime.

Thus its of utmost importance for a paramedic to be well versed with almost all the spheres of patient care as one never knows what kind of scenario may arise before a paramedic on 911. Janine Zargar feels that it’s the paramedic's presence of mind that will determine the life or death of a patient in times of crisis.
