Online Indent System Reduces Patient Wait Times at PGI
Imagine a hospital where it was hard to get medicines because things got mixed up.
To fix this, the hospital started using a new computer system to order supplies.
This helps patients because it speeds things up.
Before, there were problems with people stealing money meant for patients.
This new system makes it harder to steal.
Many patients use health programs to pay for care.
The hospital is now using this new system in many parts of the hospital, making things better for everyone.
PGI implemented an online indent system to improve patient care and reduce wait times.
The system is currently used in 36 wards and ICUs of Nehru Hospital.
Officials say the new system promotes transparency and reduces loopholes.
Funds of over Rs 1 crore meant for Ayushman Bharat patients were siphoned off using fraudulent methods.
The CBI is currently investigating the fraud case at PGI.
