Organisational Study At Muthoot Hospital, Kozhencherry
Executive Summary Health care sector is one of the fastest growing sectors in India. Also hospital is one of the most complex structured organizations amongst all industries at present because of IT revolution, consumerism and specialization in different fields, hospital as an organization got new dimension. Earlier it was easy to manage a health care set up with so called most experienced and bureaucratic medical professional. But this trend has become back dated now. Such a situation calls for a study of the organization to know the working department and various other complexities of hospital. The study helps in understanding the various dynamics of MGM Muthoot Medical Centre, Kozhencherry. . The health care industry, or medical industry, is a sector within the economic system that provides goods and services to treat patients with curative, preventive, rehabilitative, palliative, or, at times, unnecessary care. The modern health care sector is divided into many sub-sectors, and depends on interdisciplinary teams of trained professionals and paraprofessionals to meet health needs of individuals and populations. The health care industry is one of the world's largest and fastest-growing industries. Consuming over 10 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) of most developed nations, health care can form an enormous part of a country's economy. For purposes of finance and management, the health care industry is typically divided into several areas. As a basic framework for defining the sector, the United Nations International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) categorizes the health care industry as generally consisting of: 1. 2. 3. hospital activities medical and dental practice activities Other human health activities This third class involves activities of, or under the supervision of, nurses, midwives, physiotherapists, scientific or diagnostic laboratories, pathology clinics, residential health facilities, or other allied health professions, e.g. in the field of optometry, hydrotherapy, medical
massage, yoga therapy, music therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, chiropody, homeopathy, chiropractics, acupuncture, etc. The Global Industry Classification Standard and the Industry Classification Benchmark further distinguish the industry as two main groups: 1. 2. Health care equipment and services; and Pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and related life sciences. Health care equipment and services comprise companies and entities that provide medical equipment, medical supplies, and health care services, such as hospitals, home health care providers, and nursing homes. The second industry group comprises sectors companies that produce biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and miscellaneous scientific services. Other approaches to defining the scope of the health care industry tend to adopt a broader definition, also including other key actions related to health, such as education and training of health professionals, regulation and management of health services delivery, provision of traditional and complementary medicines, and administration of health insurance.
The study focuses on the organizational structures and the departmental functions. In a hospital there are two types of departments i.e. administrative and medicinal departments. As part of our management studies, the role played by administrative departments is a major area of research. The study gives the overall idea of the health care industry, organization and the role played by each department in the hospital. The organization is examined by SWOT analyses. The main objective is to get a real life exposure and practical experience regarding the organizational functions and various processes carried out by the hospital.
Training and learning in a class room will make an individual knowledgeable in theory of the various functions of a company. But a person comes out from class room and visits various industries, in this situation he can learn more from them. In such a situation real experience in the practical functioning and operations of a company can of very much use to the students of management studies.
CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction Organization is a social unit of people, systematically arranged and managed to meet a need or to pursue collective goals on continuing basis. All organization has management structures that determine the relationship between different functions and positions and delegate roles, responsibilities and authority to carry out defined task. It is often said that good people can make organization pattern work the better the organization the fuller would be the achievement of the objective. An organization study will help in having a better idea about the functions of each department in detail and the duties and responsibilities of each and every personnel in a particular department. It will also provide better picture about the organization structure and the hierarchy of various position in the organization. The study also gives a better understanding about the history of the company and its different phases of development since its inception. It also helps in identifying and studying the various policies, procedures and programs adopted by the company. It also gives an opportunity to interact with the people working in the organization. The study also throws light into the future plans of the company. The organization study at MGM Muthoot Medical Centre is conducted for understanding more about the structure and functioning of various departments in the organization. In the fast moving world illness is increasing day by day. So health care has a vital role in modern society. The maxim that health is wealth highlights the increasing importance of health. Good health is an integral part of social development and hence it creates wealth considering its importance all over the world, April 6th is celebrated as world health day. The world health organization (WHO) has defined the highest possible level of health as physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity [biswanath, 2001] The components of good health care are: 1. Nutritious diet 2. Hygienic condition of living 3. Safe drinking water 4. Information about good health care 5. Existence of good health facilities like hospital and medical treatment facilities

CHAPTER -2 ORGANISATION AND PROFILES
2.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE Hospitals are organized institution for the care of the sick and injured. The word hospital comes from the word hospes which means the host. In older days the hospital were guest house the for the shelter of the homeless and for the treatment of travelers. In the modern times, however the chief function of the hospital has been the care and the treatment of the sick. According to WHO a hospital is an integral part of social and medical organization, the function of which is to provide for the population the complete health care, both curative and preventive and whose outpatient services reach out to the family and its home environment the hospital is also centre for training of the health workers and for bio-social research The functions of the hospital are: 1) Cares of the sick and injured 2) Prevention of disease and promotion of health 3) Diagnosis and treatment of disease 4) Rehabilitation and vocational training 5) Medical education 6) Research The health care industry is considered as an industry or profession which includes people s exercise of skill or providing of the service released to the preservation or improvement of the health of individuals or the treatment of the care of individuals who are injurselik, disabled or infirm. The delivery on an expanding group of trained professionals coming together as an inter disciplinary team The health care industry is one of the worlds largest and fastest growing industries. . The hospital services market represents one of the most lucrative segments of the Indian healthcare industry. Various factors such as increasing prevalence of diseases, improving affordability and rising penetration of health insurance continue to fuel growth in the Indian hospital industry.
Healthcare Industry in India Healthcare is one of Indias largest sectors, in terms of revenue and employment, and the sector is expanding rapidly. During the 1990s, Indian healthcare grew at a compound annual rate of 16%. Today the total value of the sector is more than $34 billion. This translates to $34 per capita, or roughly 6% of GDP. By 2013, Indias healthcare sector is projected to grow to nearly $40 billion. The private sector accounts for more than 80% of total healthcare spending in India. Unless there is a decline in the combined federal and state government deficit, which currently stands at roughly 9%, the opportunity for significantly higher public health spending will be limited. Growing population and economy one driver of growth in the healthcare sector is Indias booming population, currently 1.1 billion and increasing at a 2% annual rate. By 2030, India is expected to surpass China as the worlds most populous nation. By 2050, the population is projected to reach 1.6 billion. This population increase is due in part to a decline in infant mortality, the result of better healthcare facilities and the governments emphasis on eradicating diseases such as hepatitis and polio among infants. In addition, life expectancy is rapidly approaching the levels of the western world. By 2025, an estimated 189 million Indians will be at least 60 years of agetriple the number in 2004, thanks to greater affluence and better hygiene. The growing elderly population will place an enormous burden on Indias healthcare infrastructure. The Indian economy, estimated at roughly $1 trillion, is growing in tandem with the population. Goldman Sachs predicts that the Indian economy will expand by at least 5% annually for the next 45 years (see chart), and that it will be the only emerging economy to maintain such a robust pace of growth. The healthcare division When it comes to healthcare, there are two Indias: the country with that provides highquality medical care to middle-class Indians and medical tourists, and the India in which the majority of the population livesa country whose residents have limited or no access to quality care. Today only 25% of the Indian population has access to Western (allopathic) medicine, which is practiced mainly in urban areas, where two-thirds of Indias hospitals and health centers are located. Many of the rural poor must rely on alternative forms of treatment, such as ayurvedic 10
medicine, unani and acupuncture. The federal government has begun taking steps to improve rural healthcare. Among other things, the government launched the National Rural Health Mission 2005-2012 in April 2005. The aim of the Mission is to provide effective healthcare to Indias rural population, with a focus on 18 states that have low public health indicators and/or inadequate infrastructure. These include Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Jammu & Kashmir, Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Madhya Pradesh, Nagaland, Orissa, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Tripura, Uttaranchal and Uttar Pradesh. Through the Mission, the government is working to increase the capabilities of primary medical facilities in rural areas, and ease the burden on to tertiary care centers in the cities, by providing equipment and training primary care physicians in how to perform basic surgeries, such as cataract surgery. While the rural poor are underserved, at least they can access the limited number of government-support medical facilities that are available to them. The urban poor fare even worse, because they cannot afford to visit the private facilities that thrive in Indias cities. Medical tourism on the rise Medical tourism is one of the major external drivers of growth of the Indian healthcare sector. A Google search of India medical tourism turns up more than two million results. The emergence of India as a destination for medical tourism leverages the countrys well educated, English-speaking medical staff, state-of-theart private hospitals and diagnostic facilities, and relatively low cost to address the spiralling healthcare costs of the western world. India provides best-in-class treatment, in some cases at less than one-tenth the cost incurred in the US (see chart). Indias private hospitals excel in fields such as cardiology, joint replacement, orthopaedic surgery, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, transplants and urology.
11
According to a joint study by the Confederation of Indian Industry and McKinsey, Indian medical tourism was estimated at $350 million in 2006 and has the potential to grow into a $2 billion industry by 2012.4 An estimated 180,000 medical tourists were treated at Indian facilities in 2004 (up from 10,000 just five years earlier), and the number has been growing at 25-30% annually. India has the potential to attract one million medical tourists each year, which could contribute $5 billion to the economy, according to the Confederation of Indian Industries. In addition to receiving traditional medical treatments, a growing number of western tourists are traveling to India to pursue alternate medicines such as ayurveda, which has blossomed in the state of Kerala, in southwestern India. The number of medical tourists visiting Kerala was close to 15,000 in 2006 and is expected to reach 100,000 by 2015 To capitalize on medical tourism and build a sustained public-private partnership in the hospital industry, the Indian government is supporting an initiative by well known heart surgeon Dr. Naresh Trehan to build a Medi City in Gurgaon, on the outskirts of Delhi. The compound will include a 900-bed hospital that supports 17 super specialties, a medical college and paramedical college. The project, on 43 acres of land, will cost an estimated $493 million. The Medi City will integrate allopathic care with alternative treatments, including unani, ayurvedic and homeopathic medicine, and it will provide telemedicine services as well. To encourage the growth of medical tourism, the government also is providing a variety of incentives, including lower import duties and higher depreciation rates on medical equipment, as well as expedited visas for overseas patients seeking medical care in India. Healthcare infrastructure expansion
12
An enormous amount of private capital will be required in the coming years to enhance and expand Indias healthcare infrastructure to meet the needs of a growing population and an influx of medical tourists. Currently India has approximately 860 beds per million populations. This is only one-fifth of the world average, which is 3,960, according to the World Health Organization. It is estimated that 450,000 additional hospital beds will be required by 2010an investment estimated at $25.7 billion. The government is expected to contribute only 15-20% of the total, providing an enormous opportunity for private players to fill the gap. Recently we have seen many new investments in healthcare infrastructure facilities in India. For instance, ICICI Venture, the countrys largest private equity fund, has invested $8.6 million in a chain of diagnostics facilities, along with Metropolis Health Services Ltd. And in 2006, General Electric announced a $250 million investment in infrastructure and healthcare projects in India. With the advent of private insurance and the emergence of India as a medical tourism destination, there also has been a surge of growth in so-called super specialty hospitals, which have teams of specialists, sophisticated equipment, links to other medical centers, and the ability to treat a broad range of ailments.
13
Some of these new facilities, such as the Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital are publicprivate partnerships. Government fiscal constraints are driving the growth of PPPs to help meet Indias growing demand for healthcare infrastructure. Such partnerships have gained legitimacy worldwide in recent years as a major strategy for health sector development. In addition to participating in infrastructure PPPs, opportunities are emerging for foreign companies to create super-specialty hospitals in collaboration with Indian corporations. For instance, Wockhardt Hospitals Group has partnered with Harvard Medical International to create a chain of super specialty hospitals in India. Two hospitals, in Mumbai and Bangalore, are attracting large volumes of medical tourists from the UK and US. There also is strong demand for tertiary care hospitals, which emphasize the treatment of lifestyle diseases, focusing on specialties such as neurology, cardiology, oncology and orthopedics. Tertiary hospitals are projected to grow faster than the overall healthcare sector, in response to the growing incidence of lifestyle disease and the accelerating growth of medical tourism.7 In addition to a deteriorating physical infrastructure, India faces a huge shortage of trained medical personnel, including doctors, nurses and especially paramedics, who may be more willing than doctors to live in rural areas where access to care is limited. There is an immediate need for medical education and training, which could provide additional opportunities for private sector providers or public-private partnerships. The communications technology that enables telemedicine could also be used to deliver training courses. Health industry in Kerala The health ministry of Kerala has played a pioneering role towards the betterment of the healthcare sector in Kerala. It is striving towards the development of better diagnosis facilitating healthcare equipments, like PCR tests, that can arrest the growth of genetically transmitted maladies like cancer and diabetes. Life saving vaccination is also in the pipeline. The ministry of health also plans to erect diagnosis outfits across districts in Kerala. These centers will cater to pulmonic and stomach disorders, HIV, AIDS and a host of other health problems. Sree Chitra Thirunal Institute of Medical Sciences and Technology and Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology is famed for their ground breaking research in cancer, HIV, AIDS, Hepatitis, offering a host of medical tests for patients.
Biotechnology has also forayed in to the world of medical science. Tissue engineering 14
has been growing in leaps and bounds which will chart the path for successful transplantations of heart, liver and bone. Polymer studies and bio ceramics of Sree Chitra Thirunal Institute of Medical Sciences is playing a pioneering role in this direction.
Kerala is a favored restorative destination for many because of the age-old healing science of Ayurveda. Besides, holistic healing facilities available at spas, resorts and hotels of the state, The Ayurvedic Medicine Manufacture's Association is to be credited for sending the cash registers ringing. Kerala boasts of about seven hundred and sixty Ayurveda centers that rakes in a huge money (Rs.750 crores in 20001-02 that billowed to Rs.5000 crores by 2005).
