The Institute central library ensures effective utilization of library through

integrated library management software developed by Sriher IT professionals and
the online resources are made available to the entire faculty, staff and
students through remote access facility which can be accessed anytime anywhere
24X7. The implementation of RFID technology and self check in /checkout Kiosk
machine enabled quick circulation transactions and stock verification made easy
 in the maintenance of holdings. The library holdings can be seen through Online
Public Access Catalogue (OPAC). The library is governed and maintained by the
Institute level library committee consisting of Dean of Faculties as the
Chairman, Dean of the Medical College Co-Chairman, and Faculty from all the
constituent Colleges as the members, Librarian internal and external and the
student representatives. The committee keeps track on procurement of books,
renewal and subscription of journals recommended by the Head of the
departments. Binding of journals are done annually by obtaining approval from
the library committee. Library feedback is integrated into the library software
and their suggestions are carried out immediately. To ensure return of books,
‘no dues’ from the library is made mandatory for faculty, staff and students
while leaving the Institute. The proper accounts of visitors are biometrically
registered in the biometric reader and their physical presence is maintained in
the library software which can be generated whenever needed. The books which
are found unfit for circulation are weeded out through proper approval from the
library committee. The library has special lift for physically challenged and a
special software for blind students to use the computer systems in the library.
The library staff takes utmost care in the proper functioning of the library
which is laudable. Laboratories are all medical equipments are taken care by
the Bio-medical Department and engineers. Almost all the critical and
laboratory equipments are under annual or comprehensive maintenance service
contracts. Hi-end critical equipments for example, Intra-aortic balloon pumps,
ventilators are under insurance as well. The Electronic Data Processing (EDP)
Department takes care of computers and its accessories. Preventive maintenance
plans are available in these departments. The maintenance labels are placed on
the instruments with details such as date of service and due date of next
service along with equipment number.All the non-medical equipment for Eg:
Geysers are maintained by civil maintenance department. Break down calls are
attended within the stipulated time and rectified as early as possible. The
subcommittee comprises of a chairman, secretary and committee members deputed
to conduct facility rounds once in a month and fix safety issues if any of the
respective areas entirely once a month and fix the safety issues if any on that
month itself. Unresolved safety issues will be escalated to the parent
committee during the monthly meetings. Computers are IT Department comprises of
40member team. The department takes care of the technical issues related to the
computers, IT and internet. The institution frequently updates the computer
systems and all other ICT tools to facilitate teaching-learning process and
remain modernized.

CRITERION VI – GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT

6.1 – Institutional Vision and Leadership
6.1.1 – Mention two practices of decentralization and participative management during the last year (maximum 500
words)

The SRIHER (DU) ever since its inception implemented the policy of
 decentralization of academic and administrative functions, for effective and
efficient institutional governance. The process of decentralization has its
underlying principle of exercising powers with accountability. All the
constituent colleges/faculties have always enjoyed both administrative and
academic, autonomy - albeit within the framework of the rules and bye laws of
the institution as outlined in the UGC (IDU) regulations. There are several
committees where all the stakeholders participate and freely express and
exchange their views and arrive at a consensus for taking up the implementation
process. Case study on decentralization and participative management: Effective
leadership of a university fully depends on team work under the auspices of the
Vice Chancellor to promote development in areas like programmes development,
akin to the Vision and Mission of the university, programme implementation
strategy and setting targets to achieve as per the timelines set. With that
objective, the present Vice - Chancellor of SRIHER (DU) has evolved a two-tier
system of University Development Committee (UDC) and University Advisory
Council (UAC).While the UDC, a consultative body to provide academic and
administrative inputs for enhancing the functioning of the DU by considering
various issues connected with the academic and administrative governance has
members from all the constituent colleges/faculties (Deans/Principals), along
with the Registrar, the Director (Finance), the General Manager (HR), etc. The
UAC acts as a monitoring body assessing the implementation of the approved
schemes and proposals. It consists of only the top-tier senior officials to
facilitate coherence. This system got instituted from 2017.So far18 UDC
meetings and 18 UAC meetings were held since May 2019. A total of 218 proposals
covering academic, administrative, resource generation and institutional
expansion proposals were presented and discussed. Out of the UDC approved
proposals 73 have been implemented with clear timelines. Some of the schemes
and proposals include, strengthening of skills and simulation laboratory,
infrastructure and training for Medical UG PG students, expansion of Allied
Health Sciences educational programmes with simultaneous infrastructure and
manpower strengthening, establishment of Sri Ramachandra Innovation Incubation
Centre and Sri Ramachandra Centre for International Collaboration with trained
manpower strengthening the Faculty of Management administrative and examination
reforms, NABH accreditation and strengthening of the teaching hospital etc.,
The formation of such consultative and implementation bodies is innovative and
the overall experience gained thus far from the working of these committees is
that there has been considerable improvement in the momentum of implementation
of the schemes and proposals. The approach to issues and decision making is
based on ‘bottom up’ as all the principal stake holders are involved in it who
presents their proposal(s) in the UDC. After due diligence the proposal is
technically approved and goes submitted for financial allocations with due
justification. It is the opinion of SRIHER (DU) that this case study has
evolved as an emulatable best practice with ingredients of decentralization and
participative management that has contributed to the good governance of the
Deemed to be University.

6.1.2 – Does the institution have a Management Information System (MIS)?

Yes

6.2 – Strategy Development and Deployment

6.2.1 – Quality improvement strategies adopted by the institution for each of the following (with in 100 words each):

Strategy Type Details

Admission of Students The reforms adopted for admission
process includes online filling of
application which includes entrance
examination format followed by
counselling on one side, on courses
 controlled by the statutory bodies. The
courses under the Deemed University
that adopt UGC norms follows interview
followed by counselling method of
admission. Which enables a student
apply wide range of programs. This
enhanced the demand ration -- of
program offered. However, the Medical
and Dental programs (both UG and PG)
follow the all India Entrance
Examination pattern ie NEET for its
admission process. This made the
University to receive the application
from all the state across the country
apart from the Tamilnadu state.
Human Resource Management The DU has streamlined methodology
based appointments through selection
committees and promotions through
‘Credentials Committee’ critically
analyses the performance followed by
‘Promotion Committee’. The institute
has comprehensive welfare measures
including various services, facilities
and amenities for the benefit of
faculties, staff and students.
Employees are entitled to avail leave
such as Earned Leave, Casual Leave,
Sick Leave Compensatory Leave,
Radiation leave and Maternity leave.
Casual Leave Encashment to non-teaching
staff is one among the benefits offered
by the management. Teaching staff are
also granted special causal leave for
attending and presenting papers at
various conferences, examination duty
leave and study leave / sabbatical
leave for faculty pursuing higher
studies.
Industry Interaction / Collaboration 1. To instruct the heads of the
constituent units to identifying
experts from industries of their
speciality and include them as expert
in the BoS, of the respective colleges.
2. To encourage experts for industry to
deliver lectures during seminar/cmf and
to induct them as Visiting/Adjunct
faculty of our University. 3. To
initiate more MoU’s with industries.
Research and Development • This is achieved by conducting

6.4 – Financial Management and Resource Mobilization

6.4.1 – Institution conducts internal and external financial audits regularly (with in 100 words each)

Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research (Deemed to be

University) has deployed consistent internal audit in addition to the statutory
external audit since two decades. Suitable institutional mechanisms are
available to monitor the effective and efficient use of financial resources.
The annual budget of revenue expenditure and capital expenditure are
recommended annually by the Finance Committee and approved by the Board of
Management of the Deemed to be University. Results are compared and analyzed to
the budget. Generally, the recurring expenses and capital expenditures are
projected to be within the budgeted resources of the Institution. Thereby
 deficit budgeting is not encouraged. The Deemed to be University has a
mechanism for internal and external audit to verify and certify the income,
expenditure and capital expenditure each year. The Internal Audit is carried by
internal auditors from external resources who have been permanently appointed
and a team of staff under the external outsourced chartered accountant firm
does a thorough check and verification of all the transactions that are carried
out in each financial year. The internal audit team thoroughly checks all day
to day transactions initiated under various departments - Purchase, Stores,
Cash, Bank, Billing, Maintenance, Capital Works etc. In certain cases a pre-
audit is also carried out. Variations if any identified are studied, analyzed
and corrective mechanism suggested. Periodical reports are submitted by the
internal audit to the management for corrective steps / measures if any
required. Annual stock verification is carried out in stores and the internal
audit team works as the extended arm of the Finance and Accounts Department.
Apart from this under the statutory requirement, External Audit is done by an
audit firm team headed by Chartered Accountants. External audit includes
verification of all statutory commitments and compliance of the same carried
out on an elaborate way taking into the reports of the regular internal audit.
Apart from this all financial transactions including statutory compliances and
filing of such returns in time are all verified and certified. By the mechanism
of adopting both internal and statutory audit, the accuracy of the financials
are achieved and maintained. The report by the audit team is immediately
corrected and precautionary steps are taken to avoid such errors in the future,
thereby adhering to standard accounting practices. So far, there have been no
major findings/objections by the audit. It is also a credit that, the SRIHER
financial stability management system as well as the auditing process has
received consistently ‘A’ Grade in ICRA Ltd. Rating for the past three years
(2017,2018 2019). As part of this financial jurisprudence, it is envisioned
that SRIHER will evolve activity-based budgeting model along with time-line
based deliverables, providing accountability-linked administrative and
financial autonomy to all the constituent units of SRIHER.

7.2 – Best Practices

7.2.1 – Describe at least two institutional best practices

Best Practices for Moodle Title of the Practice: Promotion of Blended Learning
at Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research by integration of
e-learning and ICT via MOODLE based Learning Management System (LMS). The
Context: In 2015, the need for a robust LMS to support educational activities
of the University was identified. In 2016, a dedicated 2 TB IBM server was
installed to host the full fledged MOODLE LMS. Faculty members undertook online
training to operate the LMS. Preparation of e-content for use on LMS posed
another challenge. While faculty was familiar with Power Point presentations,
they were not trained to produce interactive e-content for the LMS. Multimedia
Studio was not available for preparation of audio, video and other multimedia
content. Constraints Limitations: (i) To ensure safety of academic content and
access to third parties, it was envisaged at the start of this project to have
all content hosted on own server. A dedicated 2 TB IBM server was procured.
(ii) LMS Customisation and integration was performed to allow bonafside
students to have a single click access to the e-learning site through e-
governance portal. The Practice: The MOODLE based LMS introduced in 2017 has
enabled seamless integration of blended learning into the ‘Teaching - Learning
process’ at many Universities internationally. At present, very few Health
Service institutions use it in India. Training of Faculty in MOODLE site
administration and course administration: At SRIHER, a 4-week module (40 hours)
on ‘hands - on training’ on ‘Site administration’ for 2 faculty members each
from Pre and Para clinical Departments was conducted in September 2016. This
was followed up by another 2 weeks ‘hands on’ course (20 hours) on ‘Course
Administration. Training of faculty in preparation of e-content: All faculty
members of Pre and Para clinical phases have undergone training (30 hours of
‘hands on training’) in the use of Rapid Authoring Tool – Knowledge presenter
Pro Version XII. Hiring of Graphics and Animation Support Staff: Two software
personnel specialised in development of graphics, images and animations were
appointed. Creation of AV studio for preparation of e-content: SRIHER is a
participant of the NPTEL – Swayamprabha project (Health Sciences) of IITs with
funding from Ministry of Human Resource Development since 2017. With the
support of this project, a Video Recording Studio was set up within the campus.
A Videography and Production Technician has been employed. Video lectures of
eminent teachers from all over India and abroad are recorded in this studio.
While initial lectures were recorded with help from supporting staff provided
by IIT Madras, the studio is now fully self sufficient in terms of
infrastructure and trained manpower. The studio is also used for video
recording of lectures of faculty members of our University. The recorded video
lectures are hosted on the MOODLE LMS. So far, (2017 to 2019) 42 lectures have
been hosted on the LMS platform. Training has been imparted to 161 faculty
members to conduct Video recordings in the studio. Blended Learning (BL)
Courses: Since January 2018, 06 courses of Blended Learning have been conducted
as part of Faculty Development Program. Each course is of one-month duration
and contains a mix of ‘online learning’ and ‘face to face’ contact sessions.
The online component of the course is held on the MOODLE LMS where all
participants are provided access to various learning materials in the form of
PDF documents, videos and internet content via URLS. Participants are required
to undertake online assignments which are subsequently graded by the teaching
faculty. Evidence of Success: Faculty impact and feedback: 161 educator’s
faculty of the university were trained in Blended learning over a period of 14
months during the years 2018 – 2019. There was a statistically significant
improvement in various knowledge components of Blended Learning. 85 of the
respondents were ready to use online discussions and assessment as part of
their routine teaching activity. Active engagement of learners during the ‘face
to face’ session using digital tools is another aspect of the Blended Learning
that the participants were ready to adapt. MOODLE site administration team:
Education Technologist MOODLE Site Administrators Notes for implementation of
this Best practice at other Institutions (Faculties). The technical and
infrastructural requirements recommended are: Dedicated website for e-learning
is an inescapable requirement MOODLE integration and customisation to be
conducted as applicable. Other LMS like Canvas, Blackboard, Instructure,
Desire2learn etc can also be used. Availability of High-speed Broadband Wi-fi
facility on campus and in classrooms is a must for successful implementation of
e-learning into teaching-learning methods. Frequent faculty development
programs for Training of faculty in MOODLE site administration and usage.
Training of faculty in e-content development with help of rapid authoring tools
and other software. Provision of AV studio with requisite infrastructure and
trained manpower to conduct audio/video recordings for preparing e content.
Technical Support team for making graphics, animations and other multimedia.
Education technologist and MOODLE site administrators may be employed. Best
Practices for Examination System 1. Title of the Practice Automation Management
System for Evaluation workflow 2. Objectives of the Practice: To provide an IT
enabled scalable, reliable and seamless student assessment management system
for • Streamlining course evaluation process • ‘OnScreen’ Central assessment
process • Role based authorized evaluations • Publication of results •
Providing Customizable seamless communication platform • Quality assurance and
continuous improvement 3. The Context: The institution grew from about 99
programs offered in 2013-2014 to 150 programs by 2019. Both the number of
theory courses (centrally conducted exams) and student strength in each program
increased. For instance, courses increased about 3-fold and evaluated scripts
increased 2.3-fold. Documenting student progression and assessing the outcomes
achieved within the same time frame required an improved system that was user
friendly, transparent and flexible. The entire process evolved for
accommodating structural changes and new policies: i. Introduction of CBCS
curriculum (21) in April 2015, new programs and major revisions in over 25
other programs: Simultaneous restructuring of schemes for curriculum and
examinations for 21 in 2015 and 45 in 2018 programs, generating student –
specific examination profiles (electives/ specialties), scheduling time- bound,
data input and tracking the performance of students (as per the UGC mandate)
increased its complexity ii. The attractive, credit-based curriculum,
eligibility regulations to appear for exams and grading system for diverse
programs was adapted from CBCS iii. Change in the name of the institution as
per Notification No. F.9-15/93-U.3 (Pt.1) dated 08.08.2018 of the MHRD, Govt.
of India, necessitated a change in all our documentations. Workflow of the
Course Evaluation Software involved all stakeholders- viz., students,
departments, faculty, academic sections, CBCS office and CoE and was
implemented within 3 months before the first session of examinations in
December 2015. 4. The Practice: The Custom-built E-MIS [COE- MIS] is a
versatile, purpose –built software, created over the past FOUR years (2015-
2019) to seamlessly connect between the user departments and the office of CoE.
Annually assessments (by external internal evaluators) for 3097 theory courses,
about 200 practical/ clinical courses and 100 rotation/ training are conducted.
The process algorithm and the EMS (Fig. 1 upload, ppt) architecture were
designed to capture the assessments electronically and in real-time defined as
a three-stage process. The Process is explained with an example of CIA.
Continous internal assessments (CIA) for each course in a program is designed
to test knowledge, skills, learning abilities, soft skills and competencies as
a measure of the course outcomes and forms the Formative Assessment component.
Components can be as varied as Sessional Test on-screen quiz and MCQs for
instant report Seminar Journal club Creativity Exercise Role plays or Review
cum assignment and Structured evaluations of the Internships/ clinical
 rotations. For Projects/ dissertation, continous assessments include
presentations reviews, proposal submissions ethical clearnance etc. For the
~3097 theory courses (2018-2019), the CIA evaluation inputs are received on a
synchronous platform prior to the start of examinations by “Role based
authorized evaluations”. CIA, for the ~6580 students are obtained from the HoDs
(reentry of data avoided) using the intranet-based MIS working on the Client
–server architecture. Eligible students are issued downloadable hall tickets
(99) on their portal log-in ids (web based digicampus portal). The new system,
enabled introducing the course- wise eligibility for the summative assessments
for the first time. It was useful to also identify slow learners and cater to
their needs. We extended this application to practical/ clinical sessions
during the exams authorizing the appointed examiners (‘role-based’) to provide
the attendance and marks obtained by a student which is immediately transferred
for results processing. This significantly reduced totaling errors/ erroneous
entries or incomplete evaluations which we encountered during the earlier
phases. COMMUNICATIONS PLATFORMS CREATED: This year (2017-2018) we also linked
these data to enable student services through their student log-in (digicampus
portal- mobile based application layer- outsourced). 5. Evidence of Success:
Such an E-MIS established the credibility of the process and coped with sudden
increase in complexity of the entire process. The applications developed above
Caters to Diverse Needs (REFER ADDITIONAL DATA UPLOAD) This application ensured
timely receipt of formative assessments.

priority and thrust within 1000 words Emergence of Quality in Patient Safety
Patient Safety is multidisciplinary which encourages continuity of care through
well-defined policies and processes by developing strategies, guidelines, plans
and providing safe and effective care of the highest quality and value. Sri
Ramachandra Medical Centre promotes and preserves the highest standards of
quality and ethical values in patient care, education, training and research.
To continuously improve, we steadily focus on Quality management plan and
monitor the various services through quality indicators across various clinical
services provided for the patient care. Quality indicators are tools used to
measure system performance, to demonstrate if the improvement efforts have led
to desirable change or contributed to unintended results. Here at SRMC, we have
developed patient-centered quality indicators (PC-QIs), these QI based models
have been monitored since 2009 to enhance positive patient experiences and
improved outcomes, such as increased adherence to care and treatment. The
Quality Indicators (QIs) consist of 728 indicators (including clinical and
managerial) developed by the Department of Quality in co-ordination with
Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Team (QIPST) to monitor, analyze and
optimize operational processes, standardization of trainings, patient
satisfaction and also for comparative reporting and continuous quality
improvement at the organization level. Priority areas for quality improvement
were (1) Patient assessments continuity of care (2) Standardization of
processes (3) Patient safety (4) Facility safety (5) Patient experience (6)
Implementation of clinical and best practice guidelines (7) Specialty Nursing
Snapshot of few patient safety Quality Indicators Antibiotic Utilization:
Inappropriate antibacterial treatment and overuse of antibiotics have
contributed to the emergence of antibacterial-resistant bacteria. Widespread
 usage of antibacterial drugs in hospitals has also been associated with
increase in bacterial strains and species that no longer respond to treatment.
Measure: The indicator is calculated as the total antibiotic dosage given to
all in patients for a month as numerator and the no. of inpatient bed days in a
month as denominator. Benchmark - 82.59/100 occupied bed days Performance: The
compliance level for antibiotic usage was at 54.39 for the year 2009 and was
57.2 in 2014 and has been improved to 51.62 in 2015, 50 in 2016, and 48.52 in
2017 and further improved to 42.83 in 2018. Challenges faced: Prevalence of
multidrug resistance organisms, unable to establish diagnosis, unstable and
critical patients. Sustenance strategies: The efforts made towards minimizing
antibiotic utilization were introduction of Restricted Antibiotic forms, major
role was discussing with departments for strict adherence to Antibiotic policy
through in-house trainings. Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP): Ventilator-
associated pneumonia is a lung infection that develops in a person who is on a
ventilator. A ventilator is a machine that is used to help a patient breathe by
giving oxygen through a tube placed in a patient’s mouth or nose, or through a
hole in the front of the neck. An infection may occur if germs enter through
the tube and get into the patient’s lungs.

8.Future Plans of Actions for Next Academic Year

The Vision and Mission statement of the DU are the foundation, based on which
every strategic plan is developed. In addition to the Vision and Mission
statements, the vision statement, institutional goals, and values statement,
constitute the supporting documents for formulating and implementing the
strategic plan. The mission document evolved by the Founder of the Institution
clearly sets forth that Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and
Research will actively promote and preserve the highest values and ethics in
education, health care and research and will pursue excellence in all these
areas. Turning goals and objectives into a strategic plan is the roadmap for its
implementation. The implementation plan is quality monitored and updated as and
when required to respond to national and international demand with the approval
of the Board of Management, Planning and Monitoring Board and other statutory
committees. The most important aspect of the implementation plan is identifying
the resources for each of the goals proposed. Resources for implementing the
strategic plan include well-trained personnel, time, space, infrastructure and
extramural funding among other things. All the stake holders are involved in
formulating the strategic plan through University Council, College Councils,
University Development Committee and the University Advisory Council and above
all external experts from relevant domains who are members of the Planning and
Monitoring Board, Board of Management, Research Development and Monitoring Board
and Academic Council. Monitoring of the strategic plans developed and implemented
ingrained in the academic and administrative culture of SRIHER (DU). One of the
examples of the strategic plans with futuristic vision is the document prepared
and submitted to MHRD, Govt. of India titled, and ‘Proposal for Institution of
Eminence status during 2017-18’. The proposed fifteen year strategic plan
comprising an academic plan showing proposed courses and a research plan
focussing on current thrust area(s) of expertise. This projected an overall 5
years developmental plan in education, holistic healthcare and research. In
education it is to start new faculties in the field of Technology, Liberal arts
and Languages, Humanities and social science, Ayush, Integrated medicine and
Agriculture. In order to fill the current workforce gap in health care, SRIHER
(DU) has proposed courses for school of skills and entrepreneurship in accordance
with the standards stipulated by National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF).
Further in research, SRIHER (DU) has proposed to establish Research and
 Development centre for Regenerative Medicine and stem cell based organ
transplants and SRIHER centre for pre-clinical and translation medical research
for metabolic, genetic and communicable diseases. This initiative will enable
break-through inventions to alleviate the sufferings of millions in due course.
Accordingly, unmindful of the outcome of the proposal grant, SRIHER (DU) has
already launched the Faculties of Engineering Technology, Clinical Research,
Sports Exercise Sciences and establishment of Faculty of Integrative Medicine and
Wellness is in process. SRIHER (DU) has travelled thus far in its quest for
excellence in education, healthcare and research evidenced by the laurels, awards
and recognitions bestowed upon the Deemed to be University.
