1 A Peek into the Future of Healthcare: Trends for 2010 |
OverviewWe initiated providing informed insight into the healthcare market in India through our first ‘Health Outlook’ in 2007. Most of the earlier trends* that we predicted are shaping today’s healthcare industry in India.
Some of these trends will have a major impact in the healthcare marketplace in the future.
The coming decade will shape the future of the healthcare industry with innovations in technology, financing and delivery models. While hospitals will continue to be the mainstay of treatment for episodic acute care there, will be a fundamental shift in the nature, mode and means of delivery of care.
Advances in technology and medical research will make it possible to envision an entirely new health care system that provides more individualised care without necessarily increasing costs. Healthcare will become increasingly personalised with the development and delivery of new treatments tailor-made to patients’ needs as far as possible.
New financing schemes and partnership modes will be developed to make healthcare more accessible and affordable. This transformation is already evident and shall continue to grow.
The loss of national income due to premature deaths caused by heart disease, stroke and diabetes is estimated to be $236 billion over the next 10 years. Overall improvements in health and a 20 per cent reduction in Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) over the next decade would translate into a gain of national income of over US$ 100 billion per year, 2020 onwards.
This edition continues to focus on and attract attention towards the newer trends, which range from innovative business models to logical integration possibilities.
Secondary Care Hospitals: Unleashing the new potential in smaller towns
Five year tax holiday has provided further impetus to the growth of hospitals outside the metros. Both existing & upcoming healthcare providers are already investing or announcing future plans for setting up secondary care hospitals in tier-II and tier-III cities.
Health Insurance: The changing scenario
Voluntary health insurance has seen a phenomenal growth over the past few years and is expected to grow further with the entry of new players and innovative products. The shift in the role of Government from delivery to the financing of care with launch of Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) is expected to cover 60 million Below Poverty Line families by 2020
Corporatisation of Medical Education Corporate entities will be allowed in field of medical education in future to address huge shortage and improve quality of health workforce. This will lead to growth of Academic Medical Centers in India.
Med-polis : The emerging healthcare cities Health cities could change the way healthcare delivery, medical education, research and development is conducted in India. A growing number of players including Medanta, Narayana Hrudyalaya, Reliance, Care Hospitals are looking for set up health cities.
Standardization Adoption of clinical protocols and accreditation are in vogue. The Clinical Establishments Bill 2007 will give further impetus to this by registering all healthcare facilities.
Infusion of Private Equity Healthcare sector has emerged as one of the preferred sectors for investments by private equity and further growth is expected given the huge potential of the sector .

trend 1Public-Private Partnership: Search for an Ingenious Model in India
Public-Private Partnership (PPP) models have proved to be a successful tool in the infrastructure sector like national highways, power, transport, airports and seaports. The Central and State Government is now increasingly pursuing this model to bridge the equity and accessibility gap prevalent in the country’s healthcare. PPPs would usher in private sector expertise along with efficiencies in operation and maintenance, thus leading to improved healthcare service delivery to the masses. PPP in healthcare delivery can facilitate the creation of new capacity as well as improve efficiency in the existing facilities. As of now, there is preponderance of non-institutional than institutional PPP. The emergence of epidemics like H1N1 swine flu, HIV, etc., also saw the Government recognising PPP engagements to combat the epidemics. However, it is imminent that such cooperation can extend far beyond national emergencies and public health provisions.
With the advent of national schemes like Rashtriya Swastya Bima Yojana (RSBY), the Government is increasingly taking on the role of insurer providing a substantial patient base for private providers. There seems to be a search for an ideal PPP model for healthcare, which continues to be elusive.
Key Success Factors for PPP
Political Commitment and enabling legislation •
Need for clear policy and legal framework for PPP•

trend 2Single Speciality Delivery Models:Single Speciality to Single Procedural Hospitals
Single speciality hospitals are a small but rapidly growing genre among today’s hospitals in India. The growing number of speciality centres and hospitals signals a move towards maturity of the healthcare industry with an increasing complexity of business and consumer affordability.
What sets these hospitals apart is their focus on one single speciality or service line. Whether it is high-end disciplines such as oncology or neighbourhood specialities such as ophthalmology and day-care surgery, they are growing by sticking to their core strength. While there have always been stand-alone speciality clinics or hospitals run by doctors, these providers are moving towards corporate set-up offering the same precision of quality care in multiple locations.
Speciality hospital formats range from low-risk speciality including eye care, dermatology, mother and child to high-end speciality including cardiology, cancer and transplant medicine. The mid-level specialities are offered in a multi speciality hospital format. The low-risk speciality models require low capital expenditure and have comparatively low operating costs as in-patient stay is rarely required for day procedures. This minimises the need for support infrastructure and offers easy replication. Consumers expect convenience and are not willing to travel too far for such speciality services.
On the other hand, high-risk speciality models require a high level of expertise, capital investment and operating cost due to the complexity of procedures and specialised equipment.
These speciality centres have been spurred by rising affordability and healthcare awareness. Currently, speciality centres are operating in mature markets and there is a huge opportunity to offer such services in tier-II and tier-III cities. The speciality models have become favourite investment options for private equity firms. In future, the single speciality hospitals will transition into single procedural hospitals - such as Shouldice Hospital, Canada - that focus on conducting surgeries only for abdominal hernias.

Traditionally, diagnostic centres have been part of hospitals and physician offices. The marketplace is evolving, with diagnostic centres operating as stand-alone entities. In the future, diagnostic services will be offered at retail outlets, pharmacies and at home (personalised testing).
Diagnostic test results impact more than 70 per cent of healthcare decisions and thus form an essential element in the delivery of healthcare services. Physicians use lab tests and radiology procedures to assist in the diagnosis, evaluation, monitoring and treatment of medical conditions.
The Indian market for diagnostics is worth US$ 2 billion, and constitutes 4 per cent of the overall healthcare delivery market. Currently the marketplace has several hundred smaller players with a handful of organised players who have a good presence in the metros. Unfortunately, the good quality diagnostic services are inaccessible in rural areas. Despite current business challenges, the diagnostic marketplace will continue to grow due to some of the key trends, such as:
The growing and ageing population will increase demand for diagnostics testing. •
Continuing research and development in area of genomics is expected to yield new and specialised tests. These •advances are spurring interest in and demand for personalised medicine which relies on diagnostic and prognostic testing.
Consumers and insurers increasingly recognise the value of diagnostics as a means to improve health and reduce the •overall cost of healthcare through early detection and prevention.
Organised players offer consumers increasing convenience and access to quality diagnostic services.•
Point-of-care testing will enable solutions that improve care to the patients by enabling faster diagnosis and •treatment.
There are new opportunities arising in infectious disease testing, molecular oncology and pharmacogenomics.•

Over the years, most healthcare models were developed keeping in mind the metro markets. But now, metros with developed healthcare infrastructure and rising competition have reached a saturation level serving a certain socio-economic segment of the population. The healthcare providers have now started realising that they cannot serve all segments of population through high-cost structures. To serve different consumer segments such as lower middle income, urban poor and rural population, they need to develop low-cost healthcare delivery models. Low capital intensive models will ensure viability of the project and expand the healthcare providers’ reach in different geographies and consumer segments. There are some hotel brands such as Taj that are operating luxury as well as budget hotels (Ginger), thus serving different consumer segments with appropriate services.
There is much that can be done to reduce healthcare costs without reducing the quality of care. To reduce initial capital cost for setting up low-cost healthcare facilities, land can be bought on the outskirts rather than in the centre of town. The overall built-up area per bed can be reduced to reduce per-bed cost. Similarly, rather than buying the latest medical equipment, appropriate technology needs to be deployed. Usage of good quality indigenous medical equipments can be promoted. Also, outsourcing or third party arrangements can be evaluated for diagnostic and other support services. Air-conditioning can be considered just for special rooms and areas instead of full building air-conditioning solutions.
The low-cost models will have a lower cost of operation. The tariff for the services will be low as compared to that offered in high cost hospitals. Initially, such models will feature in secondary care space and later graduate to tertiary care speciality and super speciality based on local market needs.
Lower capital and operation costs will translate into tariffs which are affordable for all segments of the population.

Traditionally, healthcare providers have been offering in-patient services in the geographies they serve. With the evolving healthcare marketplace, major organised healthcare providers operating in tertiary care space are diversifying apart from their core hospital business to include retail pharmacies, clinics and other services to serve patients better and to achieve economies of scale. With increasing accessibility to insurance and rising consumer awareness, healthcare providers will offer the entire gamut of services across the value chain, including primary, secondary and tertiary services to attract patients into the healthcare system right from the entry point.

Integrated medicine is a new paradigm in health care that focuses on the synergy and deployment of the best aspects of diverse systems of medicine including modern medicine, Homeopathy, Siddha, Unani, Yoga and Naturopathy in the best interest of the patients and the community.
The increasing public demand for traditional medicine use has led to considerable interest among policy-makers, health administrators and medical doctors on the possibilities of bringing together traditional and modern medicine. The integration of traditional medicine with modern medicine may mean the incorporation of traditional medicine into the general health service system. The purpose of integrated medicine is not simply to yield a better understanding of differing practices, but primarily to promote the best care for patients by intelligently selecting the best route to health and wellness.
Surveys and other sources of evidence indicate that traditional medical practices are frequently utilised in the management of chronic diseases. Traditional medicine presents a low-cost alternative for rural and semi-urban areas where modern medicine is inaccessible.
An approach to harmonising activities between modern and traditional medicine will promote a clearer understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each, and encourage the provision of the best therapeutic option for patients.

Technology is seen as one of the three important drivers of increasing healthcare accessibility. Selection and adoption of appropriate technology often makes a critical difference in the success of a healthcare project. It has the capability to revolutionise the way healthcare is delivered.
However adopting and implementing technology in healthcare forms a significant area of cost. It is estimated that almost 30–40 per cent of the project cost is allocated to medical technology and information technology. Therefore it is imperative to devise ways to rationalise this cost by adopting some innovative methods.
Top medical technology companies like GE, Philips and Siemens-in their effort to lower the costs of care and improve the quality of outcomes-have been using innovation as their main tool. These companies have come up with a slew of products endeavouring to bring down cost while upgrading the level of technology. For example, the Active Technology Partnership (ATP) initiative of GE enables the provider to control their equipment budget over a long period of time while managing technology obsolescence through planned equipment renewals.

Healthcare providers and administrators today are under constant pressure to meet the ever-increasing customer expectation and stay ahead in the competitive race. Operations optimisation in hospitals can enable to provide world-class services with a finite set of resources and can significantly impact competitive strengths, enhancing the business performance of the organisation.
By definition, operations optimisation relates to appropriate workforce management, quality management, planning and control, sound clinical processes and outcome performance.
Although many healthcare providers rely mainly on technology to optimise service delivery, it is largely felt that automated support can only help the organisation to a certain level of process management. The key to any real improvement lies with better understanding of process workflow and tackling the bottlenecks. While staff performance also plays a very important role, it is process design and management-or lack of it-that needs to be tackled on a priority basis.
Introducing and implementing operations optimisation techniques is a complex and time-consuming procedure. However, the associated benefits of operations optimisation far outweigh the difficulties. There are reports of a number of benefits associated with the introduction of techniques like queuing, clinical pathways, standard operating protocol and integrated care pathways. These include reduction in the length of stay in hospital, reduction of costs in patient care, improved patient outcome, improved quality of life, reduced complications, increased patient satisfaction with service, improved communication between staff, and reduction in time spent by health staff on paperwork.

Patient safety is a serious issue. Estimates show that in developed countries as many as one in 10 patients is harmed while receiving hospital care. In developing countries, the probability of patients being harmed in hospitals is higher than in industrialized nations. At any given time, 1.4 million people worldwide suffer from infections acquired in hospitals. Every year, tens of millions of patients worldwide suffer disabling injuries or death due to unsafe medical care.
The Joint Commission established its National Patient Safety Goals program in 2003 to help healthcare organizations to improve patient safety.
The 2010 Hospital National Patient Safety Goals are:
Identify patients correctly. •
Improve staff communication •
Use medicines safely •
Prevent infection •
Check patient medicines •
Identify patient safety risks •
The first step towards achieving these safety goals would be imbibing and crystallising a culture of safety within the organisation. Encouraging an open and non-punitive environment goes a long way in enhancing patient safety. The Indian healthcare industry, too, is moving towards acquiring patient safety goals.
Estimates of as many as 44,000 to 98,000 people die in •US hospitals each year as the result of problems in patient safety.
Every hour, 10 Americans die in a hospital due to avoidable •errors; another 50 are disabled.

Healthcare design has undergone an incredible change over the last few years. The emergence of ambulatory care services has transformed the way healthcare facilities are programmed and configured. Due to faster procedures and fewer in-patient stays, ambulatory care centres are able to deliver care in less intensive settings, covering a wide range of health care services for patients who do not need to be admitted overnight.
Some design implications for ambulatory care centres are:
Need to emphasize more on providing structured spaces along with aesthetic appeal to achieve efficiency in design.•
Reduced travel time and distance between clinical areas and offices results in cost-effectiveness and better services.•
Standardisation of spaces such as the operating rooms, recovery and treatment rooms helps achieve functional •efficiency.
These facilities have more potential to incorporate natural light and ventilation due to factors such as narrower floor •plates.
A single service core surrounded by operating/treatment/recovery rooms reduces the amount of equipment required •for individual units.
The ambulatory care hospitals are intended to serve patients who have not undergone complex surgeries and are able to walk; nevertheless facilities must incorporate measures for handicapped and patients under slight sedation.
