Non-communicable diseases. NCDs represent an important high-volume
and high-value opportunity. These accounted for nearly 53 per cent of
mortality in 2009-10. Average bill size for NCD hospitalisation was
nearly 50 per cent higher than the remaining in 2004-05. For the
hospital, the lifetime value of the patient will go up at no incremental
capex.
Non Metro urban market. This geographic segment will provide a large
opportunity even for secondary and tertiary multispecialty hospitals. The
business model for these hospitals will need to be adapted to lower
costs, and staffed with a different doctor pool.
The urban poor. This is the segment in which the private sector has the
lowest penetration. Less than 50 per cent of hospitalizations take place
in the private sector. This cluster will represent 10 per cent of Indias
population by 2022, and could represent an interesting source of growth
in metros.
Government sponsored social health insurance programs. This
opportunity, combined with the one above, will open doors to a hitherto
underserved population. These schemes had provided hospitalisation
cover to 183 million people by 2009-10. Early examples indicate that it
is possible to develop low cost facilities to focus on such program.
First, invest in business model innovation.
Corporate chains will require different modules within
their network - with different levels of capex,
equipment usage, doctor models, non-healthcare
services and utilities, and modes of payment.
Second, maintaining profitability and ROIC18 in the
existing facilities through greater operation efficiency
and optimisation of capital [Exhibit 12].
Third, collaborate with other stakeholders in private-
private partnerships to plug leaks in patient funnel.
This requires solutions that increase awareness,
improve access to diagnostics, improves follow-up
on referrals and strengthens trust amongst patients.
empowering people through enhanced health literacy and engaging patients in
clinical decision-making, self-management, care planning, provider choice, within
reasonable limits, self-monitoring and self-treatment; particular attention to
empowering and engaging vulnerable and marginalized populations can help to
address inequalities in access to care and care outcomes;
building capacity to restructure public health services so that they can respond
effectively to public health emergencies and deliver better occupational and
environmental health, and safe and healthy food and nutrition;
ensuring a comprehensive continuum of services with strengthened primary
health care as the provider hub and first contact point for people, coordinating
services from health promotion, health protection, disease prevention, diagnosis,
treatment and long-term rehabilitation to palliative care;
moving away from traditional modalities of service delivery, for example by
empowering people to self-manage their chronic conditions, modernizing
evidence-based guidelines and standards, developing care pathways flexible
enough to meet individual needs, promoting the appropriate use of medicines and
other health technologies, and redesigning the role of hospitals;
Promoting coordination among professionals and services, including pharmacists,
social and long-term care and informal carers, to ensure continuity of care and to
remove barriers to access to needed care;
managing processes for quality and better outcomes through effective
intersectoral action and regular monitoring of performance, including systematic
feedback to providers.
