Practo Assured verifies hospitals the only way that holds up — a biomedical engineer on-site, working through 150+ checkpoints with geo-tagged, time-stamped evidence for every claim. This note covers the audit standard, the capacity ramp, and the August decisions that hold the March date.
Only hospitals that clear an objective, evidence-backed bar reach your members. Every approval traces to photographs and serials — not self-declared forms.
A calibrated physical-audit engine takes years to build. Ours is operational now — and 1,436 already-audited hospitals seed the Jio network from day one.
A live portal for your team: every audit reviewable in full — answers, photos, serials, scores — searchable by city, specialty and score band. Included, no licence fee.
Identify & reach the hospital SPOC.
Walk the SPOC through the audit; secure cooperation & photo permissions.
Agree scope, departments and a visit date; slot into the city-cluster route.
Map departments & online presence; sequence the audit day.
Inspect & capture geo-tagged, time-stamped evidence; counter-signed.
Every photo, video & serial validated centrally.
Theme-wise & composite score computed.
Independent sampling — we audit the audit.
Published to Jio via API, web app & Excel.
Each specialty confirmed on the ground — consultants distinguished as full-time or visiting, and consultant data verified against hospital records. This is what removes "ghost consultants" from the network.
The 24×7 emergency staffing model confirmed in person — the Resident Medical Officer on duty in casualty at the time of visit, not a name on a submitted roster.
RMO presence on ward duty and nurse-to-bed ratios counted on the floor during the walkthrough — staffing verified where recovery actually happens.
1,436 hospitals already audited & scored — they seed the Jio portal on day one.
Sign & mobilise: pilot cohort audited, auditor hiring and certification in full swing.
Ramp complete — steady state of ~1,300 audits/month, roughly 50–60 hospitals every working day.
All 10,000 hospitals audited, scored and live on the portal — with buffer built in.

14 years across hospitals, healthcare organisations & medical devices · B.Tech (Biomedical Engineering) · certified ISO 13485:2016 Lead Auditor · led biomedical engineering at Narayana Health; earlier Apollo & Max Super Speciality — NABH & JCI environments.
Field verification engineers — biomedical / allied-health, trained on the evidence protocol.
Regional supervisors & QC — second-level review of every submission.
Central data & portal team — validation, reporting & analytics.
Senior biomedical engineers recruited Jul–Sep, trained and certified on the v8 framework before first solo audit — capacity lands in September, not "eventually".
Cohorts are routed by geography and specialty mix, keeping travel overhead low and throughput at ~50–60 audits per working day at peak.
Two-stage review is staffed in parallel with field pods, and every cleared audit publishes to the portal immediately — the network is usable while it grows, not only in March.
Portal access included — no separate licence fee. Figures in INR + 18% GST. Payment terms: 10% advance to commence; balance invoiced monthly on delivered verifications. Volume terms at Jio scale finalised at contract close.
