Padmashree Dr DY Patil University, Department of Business Management, Navi Mumbai is organising the 5th National Conference on Healthcare & Hospital Management on November 23, 2013. Dr R Gopal, Chairman, National Organising Committee says, “Development of healthcare facilities meeting international standards is now a felt need in our country. The Union Budget for 2013-14 reflected this concern through a 21 per cent increase in allocation towards health.” The event would comprise:
Session I: ‘Issues and Challenges in Healthcare & Hospital Administration’
This session aims at highlighting the various issues and challenges faced by healthcare providers in today’s 21st century fly-by-night culture. With smaller hospitals and nursing homes mushrooming every day, it has become increasing difficult to fight the competition. It is medium sized healthcare settings which suffer the most.
The event would be graced by: Anupam Verma, President, Wockhardt Hospitals would be the Chief Guest and Inaugural Speaker; Dr Nandita Palshetkar, Dr Sanjay Oak, Vice Chancellor – Pad. Dr DY Patil University, Navi Mumbai; and Dr Vivek Desai, MD – HOSMAC India amongst others.
Dr Nitin Sippy, National Convener opines, “This conference aims to prepare small and medium-sized healthcare providers to brace the various day-to-day issues and challenges of managing healthcare institutions and the second session aims to throw a light on the burning issue of cost vs benefit for quality improvement programmes in these healthcare providers”.
Session II: Panel Discussion on ‘Quality Initiatives – Cost v/s Benefits for a Healthcare Service Provider’
A panel of eminent healthcare experts will discuss the need for good quality of services. Whether it be NABH, ISO, JCI, etc it is important to understand the competency of the cost input against the benefits (outputs). With ever increasing inflation and more than 70 per cent of the population choosing private health facilities, cost effective –high quality services are the need of the hour.
It is expected to be a very pertinent event for hospital promoters, managing/ medical directors, hospital administrators/ managers/ executives, clinicians/ consultants/ doctors, other healthcare professionals.
