Varanasi: For patient-centric healthcare, the Trauma Centre of the Institute of Medical Sciences (IMS), Banaras Hindu University (BHU), on Wednesday unveiled a suite of pioneering digital initiatives designed to redefine trauma care delivery.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Mayor Ashok Tiwari, BHU ex-officiating VC and rector professor VK Shukla and BHU VC professor Sanjay Kumar, among others.
Professor Saurabh Singh, professor in-charge, Trauma Centre, gave a briefing on the groundbreaking developments under the theme ‘Transforming Trauma Care: A Paradigm Shift as PACS and Digital Integration Redefine Medical Imaging.’
He said that at the heart of this revolution lies the full-scale deployment of the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) – an advanced digital imaging technology that eradicated the reliance on outdated, film-based diagnostics.
The trauma centre launched several other patient-centric initiatives like mobile PACS integration and the ‘e-X-Ray’ initiative, an app-based grievance redressal mechanism, empanelment and integration with National Digital Health Infrastructure, a Trauma Centre website, and a seamless e-payment gateway.
