Choosing a Good Hospital

Growth in Indonesian hospitals today can be said booming. After a lot of people complain about hospital services that are too long-winded, now appears many private hospitals with a mission to promote the service. Various efforts they take. Ranging from using tools that supercanggih to use foreign terms in the naming of these hospitals. For the price matters, is certain that such hospitals are more expensive than my level of public hospitals. Everything is done solely to attract enthusiastic patients. That way, expected to increase hospital revenues.

But, do they guarantee the quality of treatment for the disease you suffered. Or you'll get a more expensive facility? Do not until you "hit the ladder had fallen too". Therefore, there is nothing wrong if you start now to be critical in choosing a hospital that will determine the safety of your soul or your family members. How? Here are some tips that you can make reference to when to use hospital services.

Finding Info
So you do not either choose a hospital, surely the first thing you should do is to find information about the hospital you want to go. Information that you can get from anywhere. As a neighbor of the information, browsing the Internet, by asking the people who have used the hospital services, or by asking directly to some of his patients. Then, after getting a resource, what are the must you ask? Yes! You have to find out about the first service process when the patient came to the hospital. Here can be seen whether the patients are given direct service (which is recommended) or just "parking" patients for some time to come (which is not recommended). Find out if the nurse while the patient cool and whining as told in his song Jasmine Trias (who is very not recommended).

Five Great Service
Although not an absolute requirement, at least it can describe the site's ability to provide services in the health field. If for basic types of services alone was not available, whether you will believe in the quality of the hospital? A good hospital has at least minimal services "big five". Among other services in internal medicine, child services, surgical, gynecological, neurological, eye, ENT, skin and teeth. If necessary, consider also whether there subspesialistik services. For example, in the field of disease in a subspecialty of heart, kidney, hypertension, lung, and so on. Then in the field of surgery as a surgical urology, bone, and so on. Similarly, in other areas.

Having accreditation
Not only the school or college course that must be accredited. In order to improve hospital services to patients, the Ministry of Health has established Commission on Hospital Accreditation (Kars). As for the things that surveyed included 16 service. Among other things: 1) Administration & Management, 2) Media, 3) Emergency Emergency, 4) Record Media, 5) Nursing, 6) Radiology, 7) Laboratory, 8) operating room, 9) Pharmacy, 10) K3, 11) infection control, 12) Perinatal Risk, 13) medical rehabilitation, 14) Nutrition, 15) Intensive, 16) Blood. In conducting the survey, Kars will reduce the administrative Surveyor 1 team, 1 or 2 Surveyor Medical and Nursing Surveyor 1. So, you should not doubt that the hospital had put the accreditation certificate at one of the hospital walls. The certification is only valid for 3 years. So, look at all whether the certification is still valid or not? Do you actually stunned by the sight of his frame good.

Paramedics and Patient Communication
It is the right as a patient if you want as complete information about what actually happened to you. Therefore, when you search for information about the hospital, do not forget to ask also whether the communication between doctors, nurses, and nurse well enough? Do not you regret it after the treatment the doctor or nurse had just given the answer "yes and no" every time you ask.

Achievements
Like a soldier, he must fight to gain experience and know the ins and outs of the war. The same with hospitals. During the stand whether the proud achievements of the hospital? If no, it will be similarly equipped but never fought. Hospitals, too, though the tools that the latest super had never or rarely experience handling cases of the disease, you certainly do not want you to make an experiment?

Information Center
This is the part that should never be forgotten from a hospital. Because not everyone is so understanding about the world of health and other things that are still relevant. The role of information center is to help people who need good information concerning the medical and non-medical services.

Environtment Support
The hospital is the most convenient place for patients to rest and be free from interference from the surrounding environment. Therefore a good hospital, will consider environmental aspects as one of the aspects included in management control. This means that a good hospital will care for the environment and make it as comfortable as possible start in terms of cleanliness, tranquility, comfort, and so on.

This development was strongly influenced by maternal nutritional adequacy. when less nutrients, growth can also be affected.

Before we discuss more about the kinds of nutrition for pregnant women, we find out first how to know the nutritional status of pregnant women. One of the parameters to determine the nutritional status of this is to look at weight gain during pregnancy. Ideally, in the first 5 months there was 1 kg increase in maternal body weight per month. In the next month is expected to increase by 2 kg per month.

3.
Fat: its usefulness among others as the body's energy reserves when the mother later gave birth (fat is the energy-rich nutrients, 1 gram fat = 9 calories), solvent vitamins a, d, e, k, in addition, fatty acids such as omega-3 fatty acids and 6 are also required for the development of the nervous system, visual function and growth of the baby's brain. The main sources of fat are meat, milk, eggs, butter, vegetable oils, etc.. Recommendation: consumption of less than 1 tablespoon of fat substances at each meal, in order to provide energy and increase in fetal brain development.
4.
Vitamins and Minerals: Sources of vitamins and minerals are vegetables, fruits and milk. Consumption of 4 servings of vegetables per day (1 portion = half a cup cooked vegetables or 1 cup raw vegetables) and 3 servings of fruits a day (1 serving = 1 medium apples or half a glass of strawberry). Do not forget to fill out with a glass of milk.

The function of vitamins and minerals alone are:

*
Vitamin A: Helps the growth of skin, bones and teeth. It is important for normal visual function.
*
Vitamin C: Helps the formation of fetal tissue. Important in the metabolism process.
*
Vitamin D: basic materials of bone and teeth formation.
*
