Background: Smooth and patient-friendly admission and discharge processes attract a good number of patients and improve hospital turnover, ultimately bringing good profits to hospitals within optimum use of resources. Delay in the discharge process causes stagnation of patients, ultimately affecting new admissions. Discharge procedures for some critical patients are complicated and challenging. A lot of time is spent on discharge intimation, billing, Pharmacy Clearance, handover, etc. This study aims to assess the discharge process causes of delay in discharge and reflect on ways to improve the efficiency of the discharge process so that the discharge turnaround period can be reduced. Methodology: This will be a Retrospective Observational study conducted in AVBRH, Wardha. Data will be collected from 60 discharged patients admitted to IPD wards. Data will be collected using a structured questionnaire during personal interviews. Data will be analyzed using appropriate statistical tools. Expected Results: Some administrative and management gaps and handover gaps are expected to be found, which can be corrected to increase the efficiency of the discharge process. Conclusion: This Will be drawn as per the findings of study.

“…The bed turnover rate is high in these seasons and bed occupancy rate will also increases. Few of the related studies in this hospital setting s were reported [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The cause of unfortunate bed use is heavy workloads and long duty hours [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

“…It is essential to understand the local prevalence of infections for clinical workup and treatment. 5 When it comes to identifying bacterial and viral infections and instructing medical professionals on how to administer antibiotics appropriately in patients with respiratory tract infections in high-income countries, biomarkers like C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin can be useful. 6 In the case of people with acute febrile illness (AFI) sometimes try self-treatment before seeking professional medical attention.…”

Acute febrile illness (AFI) can be caused by various aetiologies. Different antimicrobials are available to be used depending on the cause. Also, there are interpersonal variations in the prescription of these antimicrobials. Antibiotic stewardship programs frequently employ antibiotic policies to reduce the needless use of drugs and improve management. As a result, the purpose of this study is to examine current patterns in the use of antibiotics in patients with acute febrile illness.It is an observational study based on records that were conducted at a tertiary care hospital. 300 patient case files with acute febrile illnesses were admitted to the Department of Medicine after analysing numerous etiologies for antibiotic usage. Antibiotics for different aetiologies of febrile sickness were noted in a case record form. Data collected were analysed for proportion to find the prescription pattern of antimicrobials.Respiratory tract infections, especially upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) (26.6%) are frequent clinical diseases for which antibiotics were administered followed by acute gastroenteritis (16%), urinary tract infection (UTI) (12.3%) and lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) (9.6%), dengue fever (9%) & viral fever (8.3%). Ceftriaxone (20%) was one of the most frequently prescribed antibiotics and Piperacillin+ Tazobactum (16.25%) was followed by Amoxycillin + clavulanic acid (10.5%), Clarithromycin (8.5%), Cefuroxime (7.25%). According to our analysis, respiratory tract infections and gastrointestinal infections were the two conditions for which antibiotics were most frequently administered. Third-generation cephalosporins, particularly ceftriaxone and cefixime, were the most frequently used antibiotics.
