NAAC B++ ACCREDITED
1. Regulatory Overview
Dr. Vasantrao Pawar Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre (Dr. VPMCH & RC), Adgaon, Nashik, operates as an advanced healthcare and medical education institution. We handle all personal identifiers, demographic records, and protected health information (PHI) in strict compliance with the National Medical Commission (NMC) standards, the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) directives, and the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023, Government of India.
2. Information Collection Scope
To facilitate clinical diagnostic workflows, emergency casualty medical management, and indoor patient treatment parameters, we collect specific information fields at our registration desks, billing counters, and specialty portals. This operational dataset includes:
- Demographic Profile Data: Full legal name, date of birth, age, residential address configurations, and registered mobile communication numbers.
- Clinical and Diagnostics Dataset: Medical case definitions, laboratory indices handled by our Central Clinical Laboratory (CCL), cardiovascular diagnostic findings within the Cath Lab complex, and medical imaging documentation processed by the Department of Radio-Diagnosis (including X-Ray, Ultrasound, CT Scan, and MRI findings).
- Institutional Core Identifiers: Assigned operational case file codes, billing summaries, and digital parameter data captured during official interactions.
3. Automated Data Communication Channels (HIMS Integration)
Our medical college hospital utilizes the official Health Care System – Hospital Information Management System (HIMS) framework (by karexpert.com) to run healthcare workflows. To optimize clinical response latency and support clear diagnostic delivery pipelines, our HIMS system integrates with the official Meta WhatsApp Business API platform.
Mandatory Consent & Notification Standards
Automated transmissions via our official registered business landline 0253-2220500 are initiated exclusively for patients who provide contact numbers and clear consent during billing or admission processing. Diagnostic results from the Department of Radio-Diagnosis and Clinical Labs are delivered as secure, end-to-end encrypted download links. No raw diagnostic medical content or sensitive text is broadcast openly across the interactive interface.
4. Protected Server Security
All clinical diagnostic records are stored on isolated, multi-layered hospital data servers. Digital files and reports shared via our messaging integration are protected by system passwords. Access to individual report layouts requires validation using distinct patient records, such as the patient’s registered date of birth (DDMMYYYY) or secure token keys, protecting information against unauthorized visibility.
5. Consent Rights & Account Alterations
Patients retain full data protection rights under national legislation. You may opt out of automated digital reports or modify your communication choices at any time. To update your notification settings, submit a change request directly to the central registration counter or contact our hospital IT infrastructure team.
