Mumbai: In a move to improve its patient outcome, P. D. Hinduja Hospital and Medical Research Centre partnered with Ibhar Technologies to digitise its Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) and Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) programs.

The transformation will use Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) enhancing patient safety and elevate clinical outcomes and has been implemented with support from Pfizer and Association of Healthcare Providers India (AHPI).
Commenting on the partnership, Joy Chakraborty, COO, P. D. Hinduja Hospital and Medical Research Centre, said, "P. D. Hinduja hospital has been at the forefront of providing quality healthcare to its patients. The hospital has taken up steps in this direction earlier, both clinical and non-clinical, for the past many years. This step of adopting Ibhar is in the same direction to provide better quality care to patients.”

The Ibhar tool for Infection Prevention and Control will streamline the entire AMS process by facilitating the identification of necessary actions, recording of current statuses, and efficient planning for addressing any outstanding issues. The integrated approach is said to enable regular audits and Key Performance Indicator (KPI) tracking, enhancing organisational compliance and accountability, the statement said.
