OVERVIEW OF HEALTHCARE SECTOR IN INDIA

India’s healthcare sector has made impressive strides in recent years. It has transformed to a
US$ 17 billion industry and is surging ahead with an annual growth rate of 13% a year. The
healthcare industry in India expected to grow in size to Rs 270,000 core by 2012. The
healthcare industry employs over four million people, which makes it one of the largest
service sectors in the economy of our country.

Healthcare is dependent on the people served; India’s huge population of a billion people
represents a big opportunity. People are spending more on healthcare. The rise in literacy
rate; the higher levels of income; and an increased awareness through the deep penetration of
media, has constituted to greater attention being paid to health. India has a very low density
of doctors. Infant mortality is amongst the highest in India.

Hospitals in India are running at 80-90% occupancy. Major corporations like the Manipal,
Apollo Group, Fortis, Max, Wockhardt, Piramal, Duncan, Ispat, Escorts have made
significant investments in setting up state-of–the-art private hospitals in cities like Mumbai,
New Delhi, Chennai and Hyderabad.

Good Healthcare in India is in extreme short supply and it is this gap that Corporate are
looking to plug. Most users of healthcare prefer private services to government ones. The
private Healthcare segment has grown into a formidable industry estimated to be Rs.8,00,000
crores. Using the latest technical equipment and the services of highly skilled medical
personnel these hospitals are in a position to provide a variety of general as well as
specialists’ services.

“India is well positioned to tap the top end of the $3 trillion global healthcare industry
because of the facilities and services it offers, and by leveraging the brand equity of Indian
healthcare professionals across the globe”, said Vinod Khanna, Union Minister of State for
External Affairs.

The Government of India places top priority to healthcare in the national agenda. It is very
serious about encouraging indigenous R&D and creation of human capital. This would
improve the quality of life of our people, leading to greater socio-economic progress of the
country.

As medical costs sky rocket in the developed world, countries like India have immense
potential for what is called "Medical Tourism", highlighted Harpal Singh, Conference
Chairman, in his theme address. “India, with outstanding human resource talent and the
setting up of world class medical facilities, was now poised to take leadership in the fast
emerging arena of healthcare management which is witnessing the first signs of
globalization”.

ORIGIN OF THE INDUSTRY

JnanaVikas Institute of Technology Page 4


Effectiveness of Training and Development

Institutions created specifically to care for the ill appeared early in India. In ancient India,
hospitals for men and animals were established during the reign of Maurya and Gupta Kings.
Under the Emperor Ashoka (260 B.C.), there were schools with attached hospitals. A few
religious and charitable endowments in South India established schools with attached
hospitals. Such hospitals were known as "Veera Solan". In South India an edict dated 1097 of
Veera Chola Maharaj refer to a sixteen bedded hospital for students of the school attached to
the templeat Tirumakundal in Chingleput District. There are also ruins of a hospital at
Mahintale near Anuradhpura in Sri Lanka. It is believed to have been constructed by
Mahendra, the son of Ashoka. Emperor Akbar, in the 16th century, built a large hospital at
Fatehpur Sikri.

In India, Western medicine was introduced by the Portuguese sometime in the 16th century.
In 1510, Albuquerque built the Royal Hospital in Goa. Many years later, in 1703, an
elementary course in medicine was organized in this hospital. The East India Company built
a Military Hospital in Madras in 1664; later on in 1750, it was declared open to the civilian
population. In Bombay, the first hospital was opened in 1676. Later, the J.J.group of
hospitals, founded in the year 1843, started functioning in May 1845. Named after Sir
Jamshetjee Jejeebhoy whose munificent donation helped in the building of this hospital, the
J.J.Hospital with its Grant Medical College was responsible for introducing modern allopathy
to western India. The idea of starting such an institute had earlier been mooted by Sir Robert
Grant, then Governor of Bombay in 1835. Earlier, medical schools had already been
established in Calcutta and Madras.

By the turn of the century, however on seeing that less qualified Britishers were preferred
over competent Indian physicians for jobs, nationalists decided to build a hospital where
Indian doctors could treat patients. This led to the formation of the King Edward VII
Memorial (KEM Hospital) in 1926. The famous people associated with this hospital over the
years include Jivraj N Mehta and R.J. Vakil (physicians ), R.N. Cooper, A.V. Baliga, P.K.Sen
(surgeons) and V.R. Khanolkar (pathologist). The Tata Memorial Hospital (1941) and the
Cancer Research Institute (1952) are in the forefront of India's fight against the dreaded
disease, cancer. The motto of the Tata Memorial Centre, Bombay [comprising the above two
institutions] is ' Service, Research, Education'. This centre was built solely out of personal
JnanaVikas Institute of Technology Page 5

tragedy. Lady Meherbai Tata was sent to England in 1930 for treatment of leukemia. Her
husband, Sir Dorabji realized that such a thing would not be possible for most Indians; he
decided, therefore to build a hospital for cancer patients in India. Another institution of repute
is the AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences), New Delhi which was started in 1956
for the development of excellence in all aspects of heath care including undergraduate and
postgraduate teaching, training, research and experimentation. The heart transplant performed
by P.Venugopal in 1994 was in this hospital.

Perhaps the Indian hospital best known all over the world is the Christian Medical College,
Vellore. It is a 1500 bed hospital, based at a town, 130 km from Madras in South India. Ida
Scudder, an American Schoolgirl was visiting her parents in India in the late 19th century.
Asked to assist in childbirth, Ida refused since she was ignorant of the procedure. To her
horror, all 3 children died. This prompted Ida to study medicine in the USA. On returning to
India in 1900, Ms Scudder, started a Clinic in Vellore. Later, she started a school for
compounders (1903), a school for Nurses (1909) and finally a medical school for women in
1918. From 1947 onwards, males were also admitted.

MARKET OVERVIEW

India has a fairly comprehensive healthcare system comprising of government and private
service providers. However, the system reaches barely fifty percent of the population –
mainly on account of general infrastructure bottlenecks. The country lags behind international
standards on basic healthcare infrastructure and facilities. India has 94 beds per 100,000
populations as compared to the WHO norm of 333 beds per 100,000. The density of doctors
is also low. There are only 43 doctors for a population of 10,000.

SIZE OF MARKET

India's healthcare industry is estimated at Rs 1000 billion. Of this, pharmaceuticals account


for Rs 200 billion. As per some estimates, Rs 185 billion is spent on healthcare annually.

On average, Indian families spend 600 per month on healthcare which is 11% of the
household income, showing that they are willing to spend provided the service they get is of

Effectiveness of Training and Development

high standard. According to The World Health Report 2000, India's health expenditure is
5.2% of its GDP. Public and private health expenditure is 13% and 87% respectively.

The Indian healthcare industry, unlike other industries, stands untouched by recession. There
had been a steady growth in this sector, revenues from the healthcare sector accounts for
5.2% of the GDP, making it the third largest growing sector in India, and further the
healthcare sector is projected to grow to nearly 1, 80,000 crores by year 2012 that GDP 6.2%
to 7.5% and a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15-17 percent for at least the next
7-10 years.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

People are both living longer and expecting a higher quality of life. Both of those will
increase demand for the healthcare industry. In addition, the “baby boomer” generation is
beginning to reach the age where increased medical attention is almost necessary. All of these
lead to a positive outlook for growth in the healthcare industry. The health care sector has
been attracting huge investment from domestic players as well as financial investors and
private equity firms across the globe. The sector’s perceived recession-proof nature the
demand-supply gap and the possibility of attractive financial returns makes it attractive for
investors. Feedback ventures expect private equity funds to invest about USD 1 billion in the
health care sector in the next five years.

The economic slowdown does not seem to have had a major impact on corporate hospitals,
which continue to remain upbeat about their performance in FY09-10. Many hospitals have
planned growth strategies and expect good out comes this fiscal. Manipal hospitals a third-
largest hospital chain, planed to form a new entity to run its hospitals as part of a
restructuring that it expects will help raise Rs100-125 crore for expansion and help attract
investors in further fund-raising activities. Manipal Hospitals expects to acquire a hospital or
a chain of two to three hospitals in New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, or smaller cities such as
Hyderabad or Pune.

MCKENSY’S 7s FRAME WORK

According to Mc Kinsey a company strategy is only one of the 7 elements of the successful
practices. The 7’s frame work first appeared in “the art of Japanese management” by Richard
Pascal and Anthony Athos in 1981. They had been looking at how Japanese industry had
been so successful, at around the same time that Tom Peters and Robert Waterman were
exploring what made a company excellent. The 7S model was born at a meeting of our
authors in 1978.

There are seven basic dimensions, which represent the core of managerial activities. These
are the “Levers” which the executives use to influence complex and large organizations.
Obviously, there was a concerned effort on the part of the originators of the model to coin the

managerial variables with cords beginning with the letter ‘S’ so as to increase the
communication power of the model.

Strategy, structure and systems can be considered the “hardware” of success while style; staff
and shared values can be seen as the “software Companies in which these soft elements are
present are usually more successful at the implementation of the strategy.

Strategy: the direction and scope of the company over the long term.

Structure: the basic organization of the company, its departments, reporting lines, areas of
expertise and responsibility (and how they inter-relate).

Systems: formal and informal procedures that govern everyday activity, covering everything
from management information systems, through to the systems at the point of contact with
the customer (retail systems, call center systems, online systems, etc).

Systems: formal and informal procedures that govern everyday activity, covering everything
from management information systems, through to the systems at the point of contact with
the customer (retail systems, call center systems, online systems, etc).

Skills: the capabilities and competencies that exist within the company. What it does best.

Shared values: the values and beliefs of the company. Ultimately they guide employees
towards 'valued' behavior.

Staff: the company's people resources and how they are developed, trained and motivated.

Style: the leadership approach of top management and the company's overall operating
approach.

decisions take into account the best interests of the employees as well as the business. The
leader explains most decisions to the employees and ensures that their social and leisure
needs are always met. This can help balance out the lack of worker motivation caused by an
autocratic management style. Communication is again generally downward, but feedback to
the management is encouraged to maintain morale. This style can be highly advantageous
when it engenders loyalty from the employees, leading to a lower labor turnover, thanks to
the emphasis on social needs.

Implementation is done after threadbare discussion among various groups of employees. In


case of any confusion, reservation, stroke of any issues, matter is referred to corporate office
for guidelines.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT

Human beings are resources to an organization. They represent an investment whose


development and utilization requires managing (i.e. planning, organizing, leadership and
evaluation). There is a fundamental truth in the cliché that “People are the organizations most
important assets”.

Human resource is the important resource of any organization. The complicated and
challenging task of human resource management is handled by the personnel department. The
aim of this department is to utilize man power to the fullest extent. Hence if an organization
has to succeed it has to select right men to right job and right place at the right time.

Functions performed by personnel department are:

• Manpower planning

• Recruitment

• Selection and placement

• Training and Development

• Performance management system

• Wage and salary administration

• Employee relations and welfare facilities

• Legal compliances

• Compensation and benefits

• Retirement

Human resource planning is a double edged weapon. If used properly it leads to


maximum utilization of human resources, reduces excessive labor turn over and high

JnanaVikas Institute of Technology Page 39


Effectiveness of Training and Development

• Outstanding

• Exceeds Expectations

• Meets Expectations

• Needs Improvement

The above ratings have descriptors to enable the assessment on each of the Key

Responsibilities & Competencies


• Outstanding: Constantly exceeds expectations in all objectives; Is a role model for
the rest of the team

• Exceeds Expectations: Is an excellent performer and meets both quality & timeline
specifications for most responsibilities

• Meets Expectations: Meets job expectations as pre decided & is a steady performer

• Needs Improvement: Needs to improve performance in several objectives;


development areas can be worked upon

Key Process Stakeholders


Appraisee: Every employee/ individual who is assessed is termed the ‘Appraisee’. Thereby
all employees are appraisee’s as their individual and thereby collective performance
contributes towards the Organization’s performance, growth and success.

Appraiser: The supervisor or individual who assesses the appraisee’s performance is termed
the ‘Appraiser’.

Reviewer: The appraiser’s manager is termed the ‘Reviewer’.

H.O.Ds: All performance assessments for a particular department are reviewed overall by the
H.O.D before it is sent to the Unit/ Function Head.

JnanaVikas Institute of Technology Page 40


Effectiveness of Training and Development

Senior Leadership Team (SLT): The CEO and his immediate reportees play a key role in
ratifying the entire Organization’s Performance Distribution, once all the performance
assessments from various Units are received & collated.

HR department: The HR team plays the role of a Co – Planner wherein it facilitates the
assessment process, in terms of communication of the assessment process flow & guidelines
to concerned stakeholders, providing advice to appraisers, H.O.Ds & Unit/

Function Heads on appropriate assessment & translating the assessment to rewards/


recognition and career development proposal to the SLT.

COMPETENCY MAPPING

Competency Mapping is a process of identifying key competencies for a company or


institution and the jobs and functions within it. Competency mapping is important and is an
essential exercise. Every well managed firm should have well defined roles and list of
competencies required to perform each role effectively. Such list should be used for
recruitment, performance management, promotions, placement and training needs
identification.

The competency framework serves as the bedrock for all HR applications. As a result of
competency mapping, all the HR processes like talent induction, management development,
appraisals and training yield much better results.

Competency Mapping gives an adept HR manager a fairly good picture of the employee to
see whether he (or she) needs to perform better or to move up a notch on the scale. Once the
employee `tops’ every indicator at his level, he moves on to the next and begins there at the
bottom – in short, he is promoted.

It helps in determining the Training and Development needs and importantly it helps to
encourage the best and develop the rest and a win-win situation for everyone.

RECOMMENDATIONS

 The management should commit itself to allocate major resources and adequate time to
Training and Development.

 Learning should be one of the fundamental values of the company.

 The Training and Development program should be planned so that it is related to the
trainee’s past experiences and background.

 The trainee should be helped to see the need of training by making him aware of the
personnel benefits he can get through better performance.

 It should be recognized that all the trainees do not progress at the same rate. Therefore
flexibility should be allowed in judging the rates of progress in the Training and
Development program.

 The employer should provide a work environment that will facilitate Transfer of
Training.

 The manager should ensure that Transfer of Training occurs.

 As trainee acquires new knowledge, skills and applies them in job situation he should be
rewarded for his efforts.

 The trainee should be provided with personal assistance when they encounter obstacles.

 The Training and Development should have more open discussion where the trainee’s
can come out with their opinions and make the program interactive.

JnanaVikas Institute of Technology Page 95


Effectiveness of Training and Development

 More of games can be included, like Ice breaker, so that through games the learning will
be better.

 The trainee should be given the intimation regarding the program in advance so that they
can make necessary preparations and avoid unnecessary interruptions.

 The Training and Development program should not be held by the same trainer’s
continuously, as the trainees get bored so it would be better to have different trainers for
different sessions.

 After the program the materials related to the concept can be issued so that the
employees can learn better.

 Training and Development should take into consideration the best trainers from well
known training agencies could make the training effective because majority employees
are benefited from these kinds of training program’s in many ways.

 Evaluation of Training Program is very important to determine Effectiveness of


Training. So the company should plan and implement a good Evaluation Design to
evaluate the Training program.

 The Evaluation Design should be appropriate and it should be based on the


characteristics of the company and the importance and purpose of the Training.

 A number of different designs can be used to Evaluate Training programs, like Posttest
method, Pretest/Posttest method, Pretest/Posttest with Comparison Group, Time Series
method, Solomon Four-Group method etc.
