Quality SPOC Connect Program – The Impact The Quality SPOC Connect Program was initiated at the AHLL units to lead and sustain the patient safety practices. One designated senior staff (HeadOperations of the Nursing Superintendent) from each unit was designated as the Quality SPOC. All the
Quality SPOCs are trained on a weekly basis by the central Quality team. SPOC Connect program was conducted every week and different initiatives, topics and policies were discussed according to a pre-defined schedule. The Quality SPOCs in turn disseminated and implemented these patient safety initiatives in their respective units. This facilitated clearer communication on Patient Safety activities to be followed, leading to better and sustainable results. The positive impact of the SPOC connect program was significant and the average Q4E Survey score trend for the various units improved.
The Quality Programme
for
Excellence
(Q4E)
The Q4E Programme ensures continuous quality improvement across all of the AHLL platforms and centres, through its various initiatives like Q4E Outcome Measures Programme, Q4E Surveys, Peer audits and accreditation standards implementation. Q4E program, a comprehensive annual cyclical activity, is aimed at monitoring quality indicators/outcome measures, identifying weak performing areas, implementing solutions for improvement, assessment/ evaluation to determine compliance and best practices.
The impact over the years has been very significant with various parameters showing highest ever improvement in the year 2018. Percentage of health checks completed including consultations on same day improved drastically from 23.5 to 91.5%. Reporting errors reduced from 6.1% to 0.1% in 2018. Follow up calls made to the patients has also improved to 85.2% from 57.3%.
Infection Prevention Week 'Infection Prevention Week' was conducted at all the Apollo Cradles, Apollo Spectra Hospitals and Apollo Clinics in May 2018. It was a planned out program with a detailed schedule for every day. Infection Prevention Week created a lot of excitement and enthusiasm amongst the employees along with a great learning experience. Activities like infection control pledge, audits, trainings, poster painting competitions, were conducted to engage staff and ensure learning. Spot Q & A, spread the word, unit display activities, treasure hunt and quiz competition ensured maximum participation. Reward and recognition program was incorporated to keep the staff motivated. The program was a success with more than 1,500 people taking the infection control pledge on the first day itself.
Q4E Surveys evaluate the units through standard checklists which are further based on the rigorous standards of Apollo Hospitals and also the NABH requirements. The Q4E audits are conducted by external surveyors. Skit on bio medical waste management

Information Technology and Telemedicine Information Technology (IT) has transformed the way healthcare is being delivered today. The revolutionary impact has greatly improved the quality and access to healthcare. Quality improvement and clinical decision support is being powered through Health IT and is not just enabling patient monitoring but also specific and targeted recommendations for improving patients' health.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Network for Cardiology: Apollo Hospitals and Microsoft Consortium Apollo Hospitals partnered with Microsoft's AI Network for Healthcare to develop an India-specific heart risk score to better predict cardiac diseases for general population with the help of Apollo Hospitals' database, Microsoft's cloud and AI tools. It is part of Microsoft Healthcare NExT, which aims to accelerate healthcare innovation through AI and cloud computing. This initiative gives us a glimpse as to how we can implement AI to get predictive healthcare. The team worked on an AI-powered Cardio API platform, which would let anyone come to the hospital and be able to find their heart risk score without a detailed health check-up. The team integrated the model into the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for patients. This would enable every physician who uses EMR for a patient undergoing a preventive health screening to access the data, get the risk score, and take action accordingly. 59
This collaboration with Microsoft's path-breaking technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning would enable better prediction, prevention and management of heart disease in the country.
About the Project Background Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) are major cause of deaths around the world. 1. Cardiovascular diseases have grown to epidemic proportion in developing countries like India, where life style patterns have changed significantly due to growing urbanization, CVD deaths have almost doubled in last decade. 2. Currently, CVD contributes to more than 29% of deaths, while Coronary Heart Disease alone contributes to around 15% of deaths in India. 3. It was necessary to perform a large scale study on Indian population to find important risk factors contributing to Indian population, and applying statistical modelling on these risk factor to further predict the risk score for better risk management. 4. In this model, multi-step risk factors selection method has been described along with the risk factor's contribution on Indian population. Use of statistical and deep learning based models predict the chance of CVD for next 7 years.
Data Over 400,000 patient's health check records and 1,50,000 lab check records were collected between 2010 to 2017 from 6 centres of Apollo Hospitals. All the records were anonymised by removing patient name and unique identification number. Data was
taken from 2 different sources:
Modelling
1) Health check-up data
Hazard models were used to predict time to event. Even though these model predicts time to event (regression) these models have unique advantage over regression model as they can use right censored data (patient not getting disease in study span) to further improve accuracy. On other hand, with recent advances on deep learning, there have been numerous efforts on applying deep learning on survival analysis related tasks and in many cases deep learning based models have surpassed hazard model accuracy.
2) Patient discharge summary for the patient admitted due to CVDs
Risk Factor Selection Risk factor selection process began by studying risk factor used in past heart risk studies. Apollo Check Up yields more than 100 clinical parameters. First step of the filtering process was to identify the applicable risk factor. This process was initiated by selecting top 50 parameters most frequently used parameters each in Health Check-up. As the next step, spearman's correlation coefficient was used to correlate risk factors to CVD event. The data was filtered in respect to all the parameters with the correlation value of greater than 0.3 (positive correlation) and less than -0.3 (negative correlation) for further process. These parameters were further grouped and normalized if they signified same risk factor. After clinical validation process, around 21 clinical risk factor was selected for further study and validation
Two separate models were used, Hazard Model as well as Deep Learning Model. Hazard model provided better inferencing of co-variate while deep learning gave better prediction score. Implementation of the Cardiac AI Risk Score UX in the Organizational EMR. The project was build through novel ideas and designing of the operational processes. One of the primary objective was to build a tool for the EMR where the patient's currents risk were determined and methods to reduce risk were provided during the discussion with the Physician. Currently there are no existing tools based on computation on deep neural networks available to predict Cardiovascular Risk.
The Cardiac AI : User Interface In the classical Apollo Health Check User Interface in Medmantra (Apollo Hospitals Information System), the cardiac risk score was integrated as depicted below –

The Innovation delivered its intended goal in following ways – a. This was the first time a risk score was generated for the Indian population after analyzing India specific data through Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence It provided significant change in the perspective of how cardiovascular risk factors were different in Indian population by depicting the interplay between various important factors like diabetes and hypertension, tobacco chewing and smoking, diastolic and systolic hypertension b. Provided a clinical decision support system for the physician to prospectively identify the relevant risk factors and advice for the risk reduction of the patients c. The entire data generation, analytics and clinical decision support system was integrated to EMR Conclusion: This is the first EMR integrated heart risk related project and risk model on Indian population using retrospective and prospective data which can be helpful in better management for cardiovascular disease care. The tool also integrated a clinical decision support system following the risk score generation which provided appropriate online guideline to the physician to stratify the modifiable risk and take a global approach for management.
Clinical Decision Support System The Clinical Algorithm was developed to support the patient's risk score and channelize them through appropriate care processes as described above. The benefit of the Clinical Algorithm were 2 folds – a) It provided an immediate and handy guideline for the next course of action for the patients with high risk to seek next level of intervention b) It standardized the process of the investigations and referral thereby helping the physicians to guide their patients better

Research Apollo Hospitals Educational and Research Foundation (AHERF) AHERF is a not for profit organisation recognised by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), and is focused on basic, translational and epidemiological research. AHERF comprises of the Cell and Molecular Biology Research Center (CMBRC) with centers at Chennai, Hyderabad and Delhi to carry out the research activities. The CMBRC enables basic and translational research projects in cutting edge areas such as liquid biopsy, molecular diagnostics, pharmacogenetics and exosomes. The CMBRC laboratory at AHERF Hyderabad is involved in validation of the newer biomarkers for various cancers, pathological conditions and glioblastomas. Further AHERF also spearheads a faculty development programme to spawn research pilots for basic research projects.
Current Projects
Drug Delivery agents: CMBRC is in the initial phase of working on exosomes as drug delivery agents, which can be further researched to arrive at therapeutic agents.
Other Projects Research projects in various therapeutic disciplines are on-going and are in different stages of establishment, analytical validation and clinical validation. The following are the titles of these projects: 1. Early transplant rejection diagnostics 2. Salivary diagnostics
Circulatory Biomarker Biology Program: AHERF has established a wide array of circulatory biomarkers in the form of cell free DNA, exosomes and circulatory tumour cells. Exosomes form one of the major flagship program of CMBRC, AHERF. Exosomes are small vesicles and comprise of RNA/ DNA/ protein/ metabolites molecules that are secreted by all mammalian cell types in culture, and also occur naturally in body fluids including blood, saliva, urine, and breast milk. Exosome biology is being used to develop exosome based diagnostics, drug delivery vehicles and cell free therapeutics. AHERF has made a foray into diagnostics and drug delivery system and is making efforts to develop exosome based therapeutics. Biomarkers: Exosome biology enables the detection of EGFRvIII from the blood which further stands as a
127
