Saving And Enriching Lives
The Indian healthcare industry is undergoing a transformation amidst challenging times. Lot has unfolded over last 18 months in terms of growing chasm of trust between healthcare providers and population as well as changes at the policy level. It is just a beginning and business model as well as the way healthcare is delivered today will have to evolve and change to keep pace with changing times. We do foresee increasing role of technology and innovation in simplifying the operating processes, increasing efficiency, and bringing transparency for patients. Amidst rising pricing pressures and a common goal to provide access to affordable healthcare to a wider section of society, we will need to start thinking more about cost of delivering high standard healthcare without compromising on quality. First step toward that entails partnership and collaboration among all stakeholders – doctors, administrators, supporting teams, and patients. It will also need infusion of fresh ideas, some specific skills, and talent from new age businesses to drive change management with healthcare leaders and shift the needle significantly.
For tertiary and quaternary care providers, it will also be very pertinent to enhance medical programs, keep abreast with latest advances, and invest resources in building clinical differentiators. The world is changing at an unprecedented pace and time taken for any technology or treatment protocol to become standard treatment from the research phase has reduced multifold. With the advent of international players in India, the platform is set for bringing in best global practices in management as well as clinical arenas. With the ongoing consolidation and as industry starts to mature and stabilize, there is an immense opportunity to re-engineer and relook at all functions and processes from a fresh perspective. Agility, adaptability, and being an early adopter will be among the top attributes of organizations and leaders who will define this space in years to come and emerge as the visionaries of the next wave. At Fortis, we will continue our relentless pursuit for saving and enriching lives and work closely with our patients, doctors, and teams to build a transparent, ethical healthcare system committed to delivering world class care to the broader society.
