About 60 area doctors and nurses learned about the role of private hospitals in the region’s emergency-response network at a seminar at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya.
Director Dr. Pichit Kangwolkij opened the Dec. 12 workshop, welcoming speaker Dr. Paisarn Janpitak, head of the hospitals special activities section.
The conference was held to provide medical personnel with knowledge on advanced trauma services and life support and give them an opportunity to exchange opinions and experience on the subject.
Dr. Paisarn Janpitak, head of Bangkok Hospital Pattaya’s special activities section, lectures about the role of private hospitals in the region’s emergency-response network.
The seminar covered four topics: Patient screening, medical processes and recording, medical-result assessment, and the inter-hospital patient-transfer system.
The lecturer talked about what he has gained from his experiences that could be used in the management and development of the operational system.
As for patient screening, the beginning of the treatment process is categorized into three groups: emergency – those needed help within four minutes; urgent – those who can wait 30 minutes; and non-urgent patients who can be transferred or sent to outpatient services.
Generally, he said, non-urgent patients can wait an hour for service.
