Working in a large tertiary care institute places several demands upon them in the efficient discharge of their responsibilities. Often it is seen that the best of their efforts in the application of medical skills and technology can be marred by lack of co-ordination amongst different departments involved in patient care. This can be offset to a large extent if all the procedures and rules are first put in place and then followed. An essential pre-requisite to ensure co-ordination is the awareness of such procedures by all the Resident doctors involved in the team effort of present day multi-disciplinary health care. This type of “systems” orientation and approach in clinical management shall lend credible benefits to both the doctors in enhancing their effectiveness, as also the patients who are the direct beneficiaries by improving their level of satisfaction. Prof P Venugopal Dean A.I.I.M.S. Use from Letterhead viii ix PREFACE All India Institute of Medical Sciences (A.I.I.M.S.) comprising of main hospital and the specialty centers is dedicated to state-of-the-art patient care, research and medical education in the country. The hospital services are the most visible component of the Institute services to the nation, because of the definitive cure, care and relief of pain and suffering of the patients. The faculty and the team of Resident Doctors are the strength of the hospital services. The Residents’ Manual of the Institute offers broad guidelines for reference by the Doctors & staff who are new to the AIIMS community and it has been compiled with the contribution from faculty members of various department. Ever science the publication of last edition of Residents’ Manual two decades back, our institute has grown in many dimensions with the addition of several services and departments. There had been a long felt need to update this manual by providing a comprehensive source of information to the Residents’ Doctors which shall help in their smooth initiation to the institutes’ procedures in the early days of their residency. Besides it also shall serve a useful referral source for different departments faculty, Resident Doctors, Nurses and other staff members both directly and indirectly related with patient care, in a multi-disciplinary setting. The compilation of this manual would not have been possible without the valuable contributions from the faculty of various departments who helped in giving it a conclusive shape. Given the enormous range of services available in AIIMS, it was not an easy task to assimilate all that is relevant to users in a single source of information. We may have overlooked some facts, which we hope the users will bring to our notice, and shall be incorporated in future edition. The guidance provided by Resident Manual Committee under the Chairmanship of Dr. CS Pandav is gratefully acknowledged. The Residents’ Manual has been prepared under the supervision of the Dean, AIIMS. The intention in this work is modest; we hope it will help Doctors & Staff during their induction and later in serving years. Dr. R.K.Sarma Dr. Aarti Vij
