Process of Registration & Evaluation

When the patient first visits the outpatient services, (s) he has to get registered at the registration counter situated on the ground floor near the main gate of the OPD building. There is a charge for registration. Once registered, a registration card bearing the Unique Health Identification Number (UHID) is issued to the patient. Further, necessary personal and socio-demographic details are noted during the registration process.Once done with the registration, a detailed work up/assessment is done by a junior doctor using a structured format during which the details about the patient’s illness is collected, documented and then discussed with the senior doctor for appropriate management and treatment. The entire process of the first visit takes approximately 1/2 -1 hour. The patient who has been advised psychological management has to visit another unit (Psychosocial Unit) which is few minutes away from the OPD main building where the required treatment would be initiated.

The follow up visits should be on the unit days as mentioned on the registration card. However, the patients can choose to visit on any other day in matters of emergency. For the patients having a follow up visit at the Institute, the process is similar to the first visit where they have to proceed to the registration counter with the previous registration details.
