Hospitals running out of room
Friday ? May 18, 2007

A SPIKE in infectious disease cases and other factors have pushed occupancy rates up at hospitals here ? resulting in patients in C- and B2-class wards engaged in a game of musical chairs or, in this case, beds.

From putting orthopaedic patients in psychiatric wards, to giving C-class patients free upgrades, the healthcare institutions are trying more than ever to cope with the burgeoning patient load.

The National University Hospital (NUH), for one, is "filled to the brim", one doctor told Today. "We have been told to hold off elective day surgeries and every day, we're urged to discharge patients quickly if they are fit enough to go home," he said.

The NUH said occupancy rates had hit 90 to 95 per cent in the last three weeks. Singapore General Hospital has seen 89- to 97-per-cent bed occupancy over the past two weeks.

Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), meanwhile, has hovered at between 88- and 93-per-cent occupancy this year. The hospital's former chief operating officer Christopher Tay explained: "At every hospital, there is a trigger point for bed occupancy which averages 80 per cent across different departments.

"When these points are hit, the bed management units at hospitals will tell doctors to 'actively discharge' patients."

However, doctors would only persuade patients who are truly fit enough to go home, assured Mr Tay.

"Many patients are actually fit to go home but remain due to social reasons such as not having a carer at home. If the trigger point has not been met, doctors usually give such patients the benefit of the doubt. But if they occupy a bed when a patient who is truly ill needs it, then they need to be persuaded to be discharged."

With the heavily subsidised C-class wards often full, incoming patients have to be directed to wards for other specialities or upgraded to higher-class wards. But they continue to enjoy the 80-per-cent subsidy on their ward charges.

While hospitals can just about cope with the normal overflow, the situation is compounded seasonally. Currently, the virus du jour is the flu, with upper respiratory tract infections at polyclinics up 40 per cent last week over the same period last year.

Also in the air are dengue fever, chicken pox, and hand, foot and mouth disease, with a spike in cases. So it is no surprise if, in general, the 65-per-cent subsidised B2 class wards are full as well, said Mr Tay.

"It's very busy, there just seems to be many more sick people around," a Changi General Hospital doctor told Today.

The usually calm 775-bed hospital in Simei has had patients fill beds in wards not designated for their conditions, as public hospitals only transfer patients to another hospital as a last resort.

As C-class wards are perpetually in high demand, no adequate solution seems to be in sight, even as the unpopular move that is means-testing has been mooted. And simply increasing the number of such beds may not be the good idea it seems.

Said Mr Tay: "We put in an extra C-class ward when I was at TTSH and it was quickly filled up; it's a bottomless pit."

Be on the alert the New Wave of Bird Flu.
The case of bird flu again emerged to the surface in North Sumatra this. This was triggered by the discovery 2 new cases in the province that had experienced the Luar Biasa Incident the available illness his medicine during 2006.
the first case emerged as the case import. His sufferer was the patient who came from Pekanbaru, Riau. Unfortunately, his sufferer just didiagonosis after that was relevant died. The second case precisely was the case that came from inside this province personally. This case was recorded happened in the Deli Serdang Regency. A woman who was pregnant was found died. This patient was diagnosed positive only several hours before dying.
the two cases could not be it was considered an eye. {"sebelah [one] mata [eye]." -- this phrase seems to mean something like, "wait for the other shoe to drop"} Officially Kesehatan of the Medan City quite immediately alerted all apparatus among them the health. Several posters and the appeal to the community again were alerted.
the bird flu horror indeed was the spectre for Indonesia. When other countries have entered the decline stage, in Indonesia the number of cases evidently continued to increase from time to time. Up to now, the number of cases reached almost 100 people with the mortality rate still continue to was on 75 percent. This death not only the normal death, because they that suffered has been very varying and far exceeded the risk factor as being known beforehand.
was based on the recapitulation of the case, the positive patient suffered bird flu in Indonesia covered the age group with range that was very wide. The discovery of the case of children was the same the frequency with the discovery of the case in the older age. Moreover with the existence of the discovery of the case in Deli Serdang as the new case, this was the first note the death of the patient who was pregnant in the case of bird flu.
Moreover beforehand the risk factor of bird flu was them who had the story of contact with the poultry. However in Indonesia, the case that was found completely was not like this. Still had the case that evidently did not have the poultry. As being found in the Karo Regency and afterwards in Deli Serdang this, there was the case that in no way once contact with the poultry.
the question is, how could it be that this all could happen? It seems that must have the sincerity to carry out the research on this. The government, in this case the Department of the Health seriously must trace how this illness trip from them that tertular to that not.
this understanding will have an impact to control efforts. Because if the source and the mechanism of the spread have been clear, then the process of the prevention can be carried out as early as possible. Although, the government might not be silent because this problem could widen everywhere. In the WHO scenario, resulting from the case of bird flu, Indonesia could be avoided by the international community. Indonesia will also be isolated in all the aspect including the trade and communication.
then could be guessed what will happen. Because medicine and the vaccine to humankind were still not found, the unrest will happen that will have a point to the social disorder that possibly happened. And this was the worst scenario that made many countries memancangkan the attitude was on the alert against bird flu.
what can one do. Our country must be increasingly racing in anticipating the problem of the spreading of this bird flu. The re-discovery of the case in North Sumatra was one warning important to the regional government in this province. All the area, under the co-ordination headed by the government of the North Sumatran Province must co-operate tighter to prevent the case emergence of the import in a manner the mass all over Indonesia without could we the control.
