NOUS Hospital Consultants is the Consulting Organisation of Management and Design professionals specialising in Hospitals and Healthcare Projects. We have, to our credit, the programming and planning of more than ninety Healthcare projects, of which seventy one are hospitals. They are not only meeting the objectives of planning but have proved to be capable of meeting the planned and un­-planned additional loads in terms of bed’s service area ratios and service system loads.

These projects are located in New Delhi, Mumbai, Chandigarh, Agroha, Ambala, Allahabad, Alwar, Barbil, Bhuj, Chattisgarh, Chittaurgarh, Greater Noida, Gurgaon, Goa, Jammu, Jaipur, Ludhiana, Moradabad, Noida, Orissa, Ranikhet, Rishikesh, Sirsa, Srinagar, Surat, Udaipur, Bangladesh, Congo, Sultanate of Oman and erstwhile USSR.

NOUS undertakes turnkey project consultancy & provide all services from concept to commissioning. We also provide services to various architectural firms for designing the Hospitals, Medical Colleges, Dental Colleges, Reference Medical Laboratories, Nursing Colleges & Health Spa. We have special expertise in programming Multi use Modular Hospital Buildings & Systems.

We provide Management Consultancy for creating the Business Models for Hospitals & carry out Medical Audits. We develop the Healthcare systems to meet the Healthcare needs of a Community, by providing Comprehensive Healthcare at a cost, that the community can afford.

Our vast experience in equipment installation, some of which is unique, like the Cobalt Units, Linear Accelerators, Brachy Therapy, Gamma Knife, X Knife, Endoscopy suites, Molecular Biology Laboratories, MRI and the near Zero Bacteria Operating Rooms, PCR Labs, has enabled us to eliminate some of the design constraints in the speciality areas. We have to our credit, creation of more than 100 mock ups to analyse the problems on full scale models, for ICUs, Operating Rooms, Single & Multi-unit Obstetric Suites, Radiology Suites, special OPDs and literally all functional areas of Hospitals, Medical & Dental Colleges.

NOUS specialises in integrating recent technological developments in our planning and design. For Transplant Operating Rooms in one of our projects, we have designed 2 near Zero Bacteria Operation Theatres (Less than 10 CFU per cubic Meter of Air Volume) with pre-engineered Operating Room Modules in an open hall, employing HVAC systems which handle 100% of Air Volume in the Operating Room and a 6 bedded Reverse Isolation Ward with similar characteristics.

We have designed a Burns Cubicle to treat all types and grades of burns in open care concept. The cubicle provides near zero bacteria environment with complete access to patient through barrier nursing. The first cubicle is installed in Raigarh and has been used successfully to treat a 70% burns case.

We have, over the years, defined the clean and dirty traffic of hospital for design and equipment planning. We also provide all design parameters for service systems and constantly review these in various Hospitals to enhance the user comfort.

We have over the years analysed all support & engineering services required in the Hospital. We provide design parameters for Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC and Piped Medical Gas Services. We also design Laundries, Kitchens, CSSDs & TSSUs. We specialise in providing Telemedicine including video conferencing facilities for diagnosis and treatment.

In NOUS projects, we have added department of Information technology to all our recent Hospitals. This has enabled us to store all pre-processed data from various diagnostic modalities for a detailed review at a later time. This also enables programming for Virtual ICU planning at a later date specifically in tertiary care Hospitals. It also enables the surgical team to carry out virtual surgery and plan the real surgery in much greater detail. We now propose to make Operating Room with a CT scanner gantry to make trauma surgery more effective.

NOUS recommends that all new hospitals should add a Hospital wide 24 x 7 call centre. This facilitates communication within the Hospital as well as communication between the patient relatives and Healthcare Providers. The improved communications leads to reduction of conflict between the Healthcare Providers and patients and their relatives.

We have now created 3 Medical Colleges, upgraded a premier Postgraduate Teaching institute, created a Dental College, created 6 Nursing Colleges and planned 4 medical institutes with Medical, Dental and Nursing Colleges. We understand Council requirements and can programme a project to meet the statutory requirements.

NOUS also recommends making separate building blocks for IPD and OPD functions in medium to large Hospitals (100 Beds or more) as this brings in cost advantage as well as functional superiority as compared to a single large building.

We are committed to our clients’ success. Wherever possible, we like to plan our projects in advance, so that we might obtain the most reasonable cost structure. At all times, we consider the costs to our clients and our clients’ Return on Investment. We always plan our projects for commissioning within 12 – 18 months of breaking soil to prevent obsolescence of the technologies used. In case the resource plan does not support the full project plan, we phase the project facility into sub-units ­- each sub-unit that is built, is capable of providing planned Healthcare in selected Departments.

We are totally focussed on Healthcare Industry. We interact with our peers and other professionals, with various Healthcare Management Institutes in India and our Dr. K. B. Sood is the visiting Faculty at Indian Institute of Health Management Research, Jaipur, Delhi and Banglore. He regularly publishes articles on hospital planning and Hospital Administration. He has contributed chapters on Hospital Planning to a book on Public Health. He is also the managing director of NOUS Healthcare Purchasing Alliance (P) Ltd. – a company dealing with Hospital Equipment and supplies.
