Clinical Governance

How We Structure Clinical Oversight

Verifying a caregiver once isn't clinical governance — it's a checkbox. This page covers what happens after placement: how escalation actually works, and the infection-control standard every caregiver follows regardless of which condition they're caring for.

Escalation & Emergency Protocol

What happens between a caregiver noticing a problem and the right clinical response — every family gets this in writing.

1

On-Site Recognition

The caregiver or nurse identifies a change in condition — a new symptom, a vital-signs deviation, or an equipment issue — against the written care plan established at placement.

2

Direct Line to Clinical Supervisor

Every caregiver has a direct escalation line to a clinical supervisor — not a general call center queue. This is the same structure already in place across our Delhi NCR and UP operations.

3

24-Hour Care Coordination Helpline

Our helpline at +91 88876 99109 is staffed around the clock. Families can reach a care coordinator directly, at any hour, without waiting for a scheduled check-in.

4

Hospital Care-Team Coordination

For patients discharged with an active care plan (e.g. post-ICU, tracheostomy, post-surgical), we coordinate directly with the discharging hospital's team so the home protocol matches what the patient was already on — rather than starting over.

5

Written Emergency Protocol Per Family

Every placement comes with a written emergency protocol agreed with the family in advance: what the caregiver handles on-site, when the clinical supervisor is called, and when the patient returns to hospital.

Infection Control Standards

The same standard applies whether the case is a tracheostomy, a post-surgical wound, or a bedridden patient — not a lighter version for lower-acuity cases.

Sterile Technique for Invasive Care

Tracheostomy suctioning, catheter care, and wound dressing are performed using sterile technique on every shift — not just when a supervisor is present.

Compromised-Immunity Protocols

For oncology and post-surgical patients with reduced immunity, caregivers follow stricter hygiene protocols: hand hygiene before any contact, dedicated equipment where possible, and heightened monitoring for early infection signs (fever, redness, discharge).

Equipment Sanitisation Between Placements

Rented equipment (hospital beds, oxygen concentrators, monitors) is cleaned and inspected between placements before being deployed to the next home, consistent with our equipment partner's documented sanitisation process.

Skin & Pressure-Area Checks

For bedridden and paralysis patients, every position change includes a skin-integrity check — the same 2-hourly turning and inspection protocol described on our condition-specific care pages.

Clinical Leadership

We're in the process of publishing verified profiles for our clinical leadership team — names, registration numbers, and certifications — here.

In the meantime, call +91 88876 99109 to speak with our care coordination team directly about the qualifications of the specific nurse or caregiver being placed with your family.
