Program Objectives
The global healthcare landscape is undergoing a dynamic transformation in the developing economies.
At one end, the demand for primary, secondary and tertiary care is increasing. The growing demand implies better opportunities for expansion and growth across cities, states and countries. There is growing pressure to deliver quality healthcare with greater efficiency and effectiveness. The demand for skilled resources including doctors, nurses and paramedical staff is increasing. The competition requires the healthcare providers to enhance their accessibility and availability to multiple locations within regions and sub-regions thereby reflecting a shift from centralized healthcare delivery to decentralized or Hub-n-Spoke models. The rapid advancement of internet and communication technologies along with healthcare technologies like robotic surgeries is creating a disruption in the healthcare delivery models. Also, there is an increasing focus on the underserved population at the base of the pyramid (BoP), which forms a significant proportion of the total population in developing economies. The focus on BoP segment has again led to disruptive business models, which are focusing on enabling healthcare inclusion of the poor via self-sustainable business models.
At other end, the new resources and investments in discovery and development are not getting translated into better health outcomes due to gaps in delivery models. There are millions of preventable deaths occurring each year, which require strategic actions. There is a need to focus on the value of health services, as opposed to the traditional focus on volume, access, and equity of services.
There is a growing realization to understand and implement the best practices in healthcare delivery. What kind of organizational setup works the best? What kind of resource and technology alignment are required in different scenarios? How and Why to be distinct from the delivery models in developed economies? What kind of leadership is needed for various healthcare delivery models? What kind of stakeholder dynamics is needed to build competitive advantage in terms of healthcare delivery in the developing economies?
This program examines programmatic, organizational, and policy-related decisions required for health care delivery systems in resource-constrained settings.
