5Foreword
Caring for health and curing the sick could be as old as humanity; thus, healthcare management should have been the most matured streams of business administration. However, the reality is a little different; the hospitals are not necessarily the best managed institutions and especially in India with 1.1 billion people to be taken care of, this challenge is humongous. As a result, the hospitals of the past worked more by personalities than systems and processes. The doctors used to be at center of institution and every thing from space to equipment utilization revolved around them. Yes all this was relevant at one point in time and certainly fulfilled the need of the hour then, but not anymore!
The healthcare delivery business worldwide is going through a metamorphosis. Better lifestyles, newer drug discoveries, high-end diagnostic and investigation techniques have all caused the life expectancy to increase significantly. As a result, people live longer and require continuous healthcare services, especially in the old age. On the process side too, increase in medicolegal cases is forcing hospitals to define disease management protocols. Regulatory bodies across the globe are insisting on evidence-based care. Billion dollars are invested in creating and upgrading healthcare facilities across the world. All the governments of the world are under pressure to reduce healthcare delivery costs. Private enterprises too are continuously under scanner for lower return on investments. There are pressures all around to modernize the management of healthcare institutions. Put simply, there is a continuously increasing demand for healthcare services and the industry has to find ways to service this demand with quality and in the most cost-efficient manner.
What better time than the current to come out with a look like this that focuses on all the facets of healthcare delivery! Dr Prafull Naik with all his experience has put together a very informative collection of essays most relevant for managing a modern hospital of any size and specialty. Reader can feel his knowledge and experience of the subject in palatable form and tips to refer and develop soft skill and communication skill for a hospital.
My best wishes!
