A veteran in the IT service industry, J. P. Dwivedi is currently the Chief Information Officer of the Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute in New Delhi and is well-equipped to answer your queries.
U_Ask
P. Dwivedi is the Chief Information Officer of the Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute in New Delhi. He is a senior leader in IT service industry with 21 years of experience working in India, UK, USA and Singapore. He has vast experience in various sectors including healthcare, finance and investment banking, HR, hospitality, car rental, energy, retail, telecom manufacturing and railways.
1.What are the key ways that healthcare organizations can use mobile technology to make an impact in patient care in India?
Mobile technology has provided tremendous help to both the doctors and patients. Enabled by several smart applications, the doctors receive current appointment list on mobile, they can give appointments and check their schedules. Doctors could be notified on several events e.g. the patient getting admitted, patient getting discharged, any abnormal lab or radiology results etc. Moving a bit further, doctor can access patient records from anywhere and order a new medicine or stop some of the medicines currently being given to the patients.
The patient experience has tremendously improved in many progressive hospitals with the use of mobile technology. Patients receive appointment confirmation, appointment cancellation, lab and radiology results, reminders for taking medicines or any screening due. The relatives may be informed when patient gets a bed after admission. A notification can go to relatives when patient is due for discharge. Finally patient could be empowered by having entire medical record either on the cloud or in a portable media to provide continuity of care wherever the patient goes.
These are few of the examples where mobile technology is currently being used. The possibilities are endless.
2. How can healthcare organizations implement mobile technology in a way that caters to all sections of society?
Implementing mobile technology does not cost a fortune. Smartphones are seen everywhere with every strata of people. The industry needs a lot of standardization and collaboration amongst various healthcare providers in the interest of the patients.
3. What percentage of its budget should a healthcare organization allocate to Information Technology?
There cannot be a standard formula as every organization is different. However, rule of thumb is around 2-3% of total revenue in Operational Expenditure and around 1-2% in new projects and capital expenditure (except during initial set-up).
Implementing mobile technology does not cost a fortune
4. How can older institutions keep up with the advancements in technology? What are the steps involved?
It is not wise to throw away what you have and embrace the latest. Technology is just a means to realize the vision and strategy. The itch to have the latest does not always make a sound business sense. On the other hand sticking to what you have can make your organization sluggish and backward. One has to tread the path of technological advancement carefully. Technology strategy has to be fully in synch with business strategy. The areas where better diagnosis, better treatment, better patient experience, patient cost saving are concerned, one must be open to embrace new technology. Similarly, if collaborating with other hospitals requires technology upgrade, it makes sense to go for it. However, in the areas of minor operational efficiency gains, look & feel, employee experience etc., one should go relatively slow.
Technology is a big enabler for any transformation
5. How can organizations with IT department in place keep pace with the changes in technology?
Every organization needs an in-house IT department. The size of IT department would depend upon various factors e.g. In-house vs. Outsourcing policy, management’s vision, ability to take pains in managing risks, business continuity etc. Even if you outsource everything, at least a group of core team would be needed to make sure the vendors do not take the organization for a ransom. IT is less about gadgets and more about people. The employees must be regularly trained and exposed to the latest technology available in the Industry. The policies should be employee friendly to the extent that they are motivated and engaged. Most important factor is the role of the CIO in keeping the in-house IT team and key vendors engaged and forward looking. A continuous evaluation of what better could be done with existing technology and what should be changed is needed. Even if a change is required, it should neither be abrupt, nor dead slow. One must master the art of change management. That is the real job of IT.
6. Does IT implementation give an organization an edge over its competitors? If yes, how so?
Absolutely. Technology is a big enabler for any transformation. It has been the case for ages. However, the advantage is temporary only until others catch-up. Thereafter, it becomes a survival point. No one can even survive without equivalent or better technology as being used by competition.
7. What is the best way to deal with staff who is resistant to incorporate technology?
Most of the resistance comes from a need to learn new things. There are several ways to break the patterns. Technology should be introduced in gradual and systematic manner. It is like any other change management project where you need to identify champions, implement changes in peripheries as pilot projects, encourage, empower, incentivize, instruct, demand (whatever works?). There is no single formula.
Technology should be introduced in gradual and systematic manner
8. What should be done to ensure safety of patient records and other confidential information?
This is one of the most important aspects while considering electronic health record implementation or even digitizing paper records. Stringent access control procedures must be put in place. These procedures must be periodically audited. Overall end point protection is very important. Every single access of the Electronic or digitized records must be requested, approved and documented for future reference for maintaining confidentiality and integrity of patient records.
9. Are there any best practices we can follow (any hospitals, helathcare organistaions that have successfully integrated IT).
Technology is a big enabler both in biomedical engineering and in information technology areas. Today, there is no alternative to embracing technology. Days are gone when everything was written on paper and give to the patient (to keep or lose). Enduring continuity of care is extremely important to ensure quality of care delivery outcomes.
Today, there is no alternative to embracing technology
Several hospitals are aiming to become paperless. One example of real (nearly) paperless hospital is  ‘Columbia Asia’. Tata Memorial Hospital Calcutta is another example of near paper less hospital. Many leading hospitals of the country have embraced technology to a great extent.
We at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute & Research Centre have taken several steps in integrating  technology with the processes. In some areas, we have accomplished excellent results. Whereas, in some other areas, we still have a significant distance to cover. We have automated patient workflow starting from appointment till all the orders, lab and radiology system integration, reporting and even notification to patients along with reports being made visible to the patients on their computers / mobiles. Nursing records are being maintained online and clinical records are being transcribed alongside the digitization of the paper records.
