Reference mail in "REPORT MY SIGNAL" and write up of Brig Kuthiala on ECHS. By Grace of God, so far, I have never used the services of ECHS but reading the paper of Brig, I understand that a lot of time and effort is wasted by ESM in fixing the appointments, giving the samples, getting the reports and then meeting the specialist / Dr.
I have the following to suggest:
a) In present day scenario of e-communicating, why can not we place Scanner in ECHS polyclinics and hospitals like R & R, where reports form R & R can be scanned and sent by email to concerned polyclinic. This will save a lot of time of ESM.
b) All ECHS polyclinics should be given emailing facility in addition to FAX machines.
c) Existing MHs and other hospitals, should be made responsible to attend to ESM cases post 1600h situation till 0800h, next day. All such cases, should be handed back to ECHS polyclinic, the next morning.
d) For storage of standard drugs based on average consumption, existing 'Services' procurement set up should be used, for which ECHS should pay some money to 'Services set up' for this assistance.
e) The suggested system should have details of all such cases, where the medicines were NOT provided due to being NA in store or NO money to make local purchase. I have a feeling that except for some senior ranked ESM, rest are left to fend for themselves, if the medicine is costly.
f) Role of OC/ CO of MH requires to be redefined with relation to ECHS polyclinics.

Monthly Audit Report of ECHS Health Care at Polyclinics must be displayed giving indication of Percentage of Officers and PBORs treated and the respective costs. There should be no preference for the so called VIP category. Rules must be common for everyone. Those who violate rules must be indentified and penalised.
