Now a day the entire AYUSH is against the malpractices made by Ayurvedic Medical College for their sustenance. Even though AYUSH is serious, managements are following different methods to exhibit their faculties on muster, maintain the Hospital records and inputs. The different methods include generating visiting faculty or on paper faculty. The student ratio of beds as per the CCIM is 1:3. As many Ayurveda colleges are far away from the community residences or could not generate the faith (especially in emergencies), the patients are deviating to the other opportunities to help themselves. To run the show is the only alternative to get the permissions for successive academic year. So, the managements are using alternative methods instead of locating the problem and solving in alternative systems. One of such method is – “Falsification Method”.
Fabrication, Falsification, Plagiarism, or other practices that seriously deviate from those that are commonly accepted in the community for proposing, conducting, or reporting for any permissions or statements or study. The “honest” error or difference in expression is caught by the authorities of permission.
What is Falsification?
- Alteration of data collected in the maintenance of hospital records, purchase records
- Omission/deletion/suppression of conflicting data without justification
- Back-dating in patient records to fit within the timeline as treatment provided
- Changing a patients age, address and disease in hospital data records
All these are happening not only in Ayurvedic Colleges even in the other systems also. There were so many News items in relation to this Falsification in all medical colleges.
How to stop Falsification?
There may be many methods to prevent a problem. Here one method I propose or bring in to the notice of the readers is, Inclusion of ID in Case sheet. It may be followed by authorities or not – but certainly is for my satisfaction. It is so simple and easy. The admitted patient should be identified properly with a Voter ID card or driving license number or PAN card or any other ID card number. There may be occasions where none of these are available with patient. In such a case- let theCollegeHospitalissue an ID card with photo.
Once this “valid ID number” is included in the case sheets of IPD, most of the Falsification is stopped in Medical Colleges.
