Electrical Engineering Division

Executive Engineer: Er. Ali Mohammad Rather.
Asstt. Exec. Engineer: Er. Yasir Arafat
Of the various services which are indispensable for delivery of patient care for the hospital, Engineering
Services are perhaps the most vital services. The advent of high-speed computerized biomedical machines like
PET, MRI, CT etc, have been a watershed in the diagnostic procedures and all this has become possible due to
vast Research and Development in the field of medical engineering. Engineering services in general and
Electrical Engineering services in particular play a pivotal role in any health care institute. It would be
appropriate to mention that the efficiency of delivery of health care of a hospital is a direct function of
efficiency of Electrical Engineering Services and all other services are, in one way or the other dependent on
this vital and indispensable service. Even the slightest breakdown of power supply system or malfunctioning of
2|Page
vital equipment has a direct impact on all other services. The scope of services generally includes maintenance
repairs and of existing facilities to ensure optimum operational reliability, risk reduction and their safety for
the patient, staff and public.

Functions of the electrical engineering service:

1. Ensuring that all the facilities, systems and services under the scope of electrical engineering services are well
maintained and kept in a state of optimum operational efficiency through planned preventive maintenance.
2. Conceiving of power requirements for existing and new departments followed by estimations, tendering and ex -
ecutions.
3. Estimating the growth of power demands of various departments in view of their expansions and devising proce-
dures for catering to the increased demands.
4. Up keeping of (6.3 + 4) MVA 33/11KV Receiving Station at SKIMS Soura and sub-station at MCH Bemina.
5. Regular maintenance of 11KV lines feeding various distribution transformers installed at different areas.
6. Up keeping different capacities of stabilizers at SKIMS Soura and MCH Bemina.
7. Up keeping different capacities of DG sets at SKIMS Soura and MCH Bemina.
8. Maintaining an up-to-date inventory of all the equipment available and their distribution in the hospital.
9. Maintaining an up-to-date history sheet for each and every equipment unit in the hospital.
10. Anticipating the requirement of commonly used spares and arranging for their adequate stocking.
11. Ensuring that breakdown maintenance of electrical equipment (excluding UPSs ) is prompt enough to ensure un-
interrupted services.
12. Ensuring that the facilities / services coming under scope are safe and hazard free.
13. Ensuring that the facilities / services provided under scope of responsibility are conducive to efficient and high
quality patient care.
14. Ensuring timely action for renewal of maintenance contracts of the facilities / equipment under its purview.
15. Advising the management about the most cost-effective ways of managing the facilities / services under their
purview (saving of energy, purchase of equipment with low life cycle cost and high efficiency).

Department of Electric Engineering Wing is headed by the Executive Engineer under whose subordination
Assistant Executive Engineers, Assistant Engineer, Junior Engineers & Sr. Foremen work to ensure smooth and
uninterrupted power supply round the clock to the hospital for best patient care.

The electric supply to SKIMS Soura is being fed from 33/11 KV, (6.3 + 4) MVA Receiving Station located within
the premises of SKIMS.. The receiving station is supported by two 33KV lines from two different 132/33 KV
Grid Stations one at Wanganpora and other at Habak, with one line acting as standby. The changeover facility
to the 33KV line is available within the switchyard of receiving station. The distribution transformers located at
various locations like Main Electric Sub-Station, Faculty Sub-Station, Trust Hospital and Hostel Blocks are being
fed from various 11 KV feeders emanating from the receiving station. Main sub-station where 04 distribution
transformers of various capacities are installed is entirely feeding the main hospital. In case of power failure
/interruption/shutdowns, the power supply to the main hospital is being fed through various Generators of
different capacities installed within main sub-station.

Similarly, the electric supply to MCH SKIMS Bemina is fed through 33KV/440 volt sub-station with 2x630 Kva
transformers. In case of power failure/interruptions on 33Kv line, DG sets are used to provide backup power
supply.

Electronics & Communication/Information Technology Division

Executive Engineer: Farooq Ahmad Wani
In an endeavor to improve the IT & IT enabled services in SKIMS and simultaneously bringing transparency in
day to day tasks at Hospital, IT department this year has undertaken ambitious projects to extend its existing
services to various uncharted areas and facilitate its information flow to public thus taking a step forward in
becoming the epitome of patient care in Kashmir. SKIMS has 3 important aspects of IT activities:

I. Providing Service, Support and Maintenance to existing Hardware/Soft-

ware & Networking Resources:
1. 1/4th of the Computer Associates (12 Nos) constitute the dedicated team of professionals assigned the
task of providing, supporting and optimizing the computer hardware, network resources and internet
services to different areas of the institute through appropriate channels of communication. The team
also provides on-spot services to computers, printers and networking infrastructure 24*7.

2. This year we have expanded the reach of SKIMS LAN to paying Ward Block of the institute and
extended internet facility to the Hostels under Voice & Data Project. Through this project we would be
able to add 50 more nodes for both HIS and NKN networks.

3. Thus, constant up gradation of the existing system created under the project “Computerization &
Campus vide LAN at SKIMS” and integration of NKN to the existing system, has created a fully
functional integrated system consisting of more than 550 nodes, out of which 150 are on HIS network
(intranet) and 350 are on NKN (LAN + internet). Apart from that 50 more are in place for File Tracking
System and Office Use.

4. Under Point to Multi Point Project 9 sites have been identified and all the 9 access points have already
been put in place.

5. Computer network has been established in the Nursing College as well. Further LCD Projectors and
Smart Boards have been procured for enhancement of teaching activities at the College. have been
procured, installed, tested & Commissioned at college of nursing.

6. In 2013 Genetic Center at SKIMS got inaugurated and there too IT section has commissioned 50 nodes
across the 3 floors providing LAN connectivity as well as internet facility to the respective sections of
genetic center block.

7. In trust hospital 24 network nodes have been connected to provide internet and to extend HIS services
to the hospital. Further, 50 nodes have been added over WiFi for providing internet services.

During the current financial year various offices like Estates, Transport Department, Civil Engineering Block will
be connected to the existing Network for which the tenders has already been floated and the jobs are planned
to be executed under the scheme “Up gradation of voice and data communication system at SKIMS”.

 II. Developing New Applications, Optimizing/Customizing the existing Infor-
mation system.
Software development & employee training wing of IT section came into being by identifying a group of 4-5
people well versed with process of software development, 5-6 for implementation and 5-6 for training
among the Computer Associates, so that the existing operational HIS modules are carried forward as such and
other modules (ready for operationalization but not implemented due lack of required hardware and/or
network support) are developed in house and commissioned to the user community after proper training at
their end accordingly once the necessary hardware requirements in terms of Computers, Printers, Network
are fulfilled.

Thus, again a team of 15 Computer Associates comprising of five developers along with respective
implementation/training team was constituted who have been developing software for SKIMS and have been
able to complete the following:

1. Online recruitment/admissions
Online Registration for aspirant/student has been done for all the recruitment/entrance examinations
conducted by SKIMS as part of Academic Automation. Soon we will enable online payment for such
registrations making the process totally paperless vis-à-vis offering online patient services like appointment
system and online patient’s reports over the internet by accessing our website.

2. Development of e-Complaint System

A Complaint System is a computer software package that manages and maintains list of issues/complaints for different
service departments of SKIMS. Complaint System is commonly used to create, update, and resolve issues reported by
the rest of employees of the institute. This system has been successfully tested in 12 Nursing Stations (Ward 1 to Ward
6) and would be soon implemented in the whole user departments.

Benefits
 Lack of paper movements will provide complaint management operations the speed which can never be
envisaged in manual mode at all.
 Software allows a registered staff member to lodge complaints and automatically schedules it to concerned
department.
 The software infuses accountability for the complaints and their resolution.
 Reports will be generated on demand which can include our own sorting and analysis parameters which may
be more relevant to us.

3. Integration of new auto analyzers with existing HIS.

In year 2014, Software Development Team Department of IT has successfully interfaced following Analyzers with the LIS
module.

• Chemiluminescence Analyzer (ACCESS 2) in Department of Immunology & Molecular Medicine. This automatic
and modern analyzer has replaced the old RIA system in the lab.
• Two newly installed AU 680 Biochemistry Analyzers in Lab 2215 in Biochemistry Department.
With these analyzers operational in immunology/Biochemistry labs the efficiency of the labs has increased 10 folds and
reports are being delivered to patient in wards as well as at OPD reporting counters.

7|Page
The total no of Test samples processed by these analyzers during 1 Jan 2014 till 7 Nov. 2014 is 131569.

Total no. of investigations done in year 2014 is 1772810.

4. Implementation of E-Tendering and utilization thereof in 2014.

Total No of Tenders uploaded on jktenders.gov.in form Jan. 2014 to 31 Oct 2014 = 80

1. Civil Division = 29 amounting to Rs. 257071000

2. Electric Division = 14 amounting to Rs. 7327000
3. Mechanical Division = 22 amounting to Rs. 22114975
4. I.T. Division = 06 amounting to Rs. 7294000
5. Landscape Division = 01 amounting to Rs. 17,69,000
6. Medical College Bemina = 05 amounting to Rs. 8628000
7. Material Management Section= 03 amounting to Rs. 4982000

TOTAL AMOUNT = Rs. 309185975

5. Implementation of File Tracking System and utilization thereof in 2014.

The main aim of File Tracking System is to provide flexibility to various departments of SKIMS to keep track of every file
electronically and provide better search facilities in this domain.

In its 4th phase of the implementation, 5 more departments were brought into the auspices of FTS after imparting
training to the concerned staff. Further, additional staff of the departments, where FTS is already running has been
trained to keep them updated of the new features incorporated in the system from time to time and ensure smooth
functioning of the system in case of transfer or leave of the concerned staff member.

6. Development of new OPD Consultation/Laboratory Management Module

In year 2014, Software development team of IT department of SKIMS has developed and implemented OPD Consultation
Module at SKIMS Medical College, Bemina.

The OPD consultation module provides features like

• Patient Details
• Investigation Orders
• Patient History
• Diagnosis
• Treatment
• Follow-up
The software generates Barcodes at sample collection, with this feature automation of sample processing at various
Labs is possible without any human intervention .It is to bring in notice that SKIMS IT team has already automated the
sample processing at various Labs by interfacing the latest analyzers.

The module generate various reports like

• Day wise user cash

• All user cash
• User wise Refunds
• Test wise cash/ count

8|Page
The software has been implemented and is under production successfully.

The same module is planned to be deployed at SKIMS in future.

7. Development of Nursing Management Module

Nursing station has been developed by IT department of skims in year 2014 ,which consist of following
separate but interrelated applications software modules;
• Bed Board Chart
• Bed Transfer
• Vital Signs
• Allergies
• Discharge Summary
• Patient Input/output
• IPD bill
• User Login creation
• Master creation
• Order Booking
• Reports
The module is under testing and would be implemented soon at SKIMS MCH and later in SKIMS.

III. Training and Human Capacity Development for overall IT growth at SKIMS:
Keeping in view of the fact that capacity building should be carried out in parallel with the automation process
to prevent the user from technical shock, concurrent training was provided to all the stake holders involved in
the process of computerization. In fact, for continuing improvement a training cell at SKIMS is in place carrying
out capacity building. Training has already been given to 90% of the user community including nursing staff
which in itself is a milestone in the process of capacity building.
