About Hospital Sector
Overview of Hospital Industry
Healthcare is a big issue among
urban Indians. Earlier, an Indian used to
spend hardly on his or her healthcare.
However, now there is an awareness
about health related issues and
problems. Not just men but women are
equally concerned about their health
and issues related to it.
In past decade, there have been a
number of healthcare companies that have
emerged in the country. Today, if you want
to go under a surgery then these hospitals
are well equipped to perform any kind of
surgery.
Hence, people are avoiding going
abroad and saving money. A surgery in US
could cost you $50,000 to $100,000 however
in India you could get it done only in
$10,000 to $15,000.
The Indian healthcare sector
comprises the sub-sectors of hospitals,
medical infrastructure, medical devices,
clinical trials, outsourcing, telemedicine,
health insurance and medical equipment.
India presently has 0.5 million doctors, 0.9
million nurses and around 1.37 million beds,
and has the highest number of medical and
nursing colleges, at 303 and 3,904,
respectively. In addition, the cost of medical
treatment in India is one-tenth that
compared to costs in the US and Europe.
Outlook of Hospital Industry
The main areas where a
number of market opportunities exist for
both domestic and foreign players in the
Indian healthcare domain include medical
tourism, healthcare insurance, telemedicine
and medical equipment.
Some of the advantages and
opportunity areas for further growth of the
sector are:
Rising medical tourism:
The main factors contributing to
rising medical tourism in India are presence of
a well-educated, English-speaking medical
staff, as well as state-of-the art private hospitals
and diagnostic facilities.
Growing economy:
With a growing middle class, and
rising health awareness and purchasing power,
the healthcare insurance sector is poised for
strong growth in coming years in India.
Telemedicine:
Growth in the telemedicine sub-
sector is taking place due to the need for specialist
doctors in rural areas, as most of them live in urban or
semi-urban centers of India. Rural areas, roughly with
a population of 700 million, can be provided healthcare
facilities through telemedicine, with remote diagnosis,
and monitoring and treatment of patients via
videoconferencing.
Healthcare infrastructure:
Growth in Indian healthcare
infrastructure is accompanied by strong demand for
medical equipment such as x-ray machines, CT
scanners and electrocardiographs, highlighting an
opportunity for global players making quality products
in this space.

Emerging trends in Healthcare
Dual Disease Burden:
Urban India is now on the threshold of becoming the disease
capital of the world and facing an increased incidence of Lifestyle
related diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer,
etc. At the same time, the Urban Poor and Rural India are
struggling with Communicable Diseases such as tuberculosis,
typhoid, dysentery etc. Rural India is also seeing a higher
occurrence of Non-Communicable Life-style related diseases.
Lack of Infrastructure and Manpower:
Accessibility to healthcare services is extremely limited to
many rural areas of the country. In addition, existing healthcare
infrastructure is unplanned and is irregularly distributed.
Further, there is a severe lack of trained doctors and nurses to
service the needs of the large Indian populous.
Rise in disposable income:
Households in the above INR 200,000 per
annum bracket can benefit from an increase in disposable
income from 14 percent in 2009-2010E to 26 percent in 2014-
2015P making healthcare more affordable.
Medical Tourism:
India emerging as a major medical tourist
destination with medical tourism market.
Drivers of growth for the Hospital Sector:
Increase in Population: Increase in
Population: Expected increase in population from
about 1.1 billion in 2009-2010 to 1.4 billion by 2026.
Shift in demographics:
60 percent of the population in the younger
age bracket and an expectedincrease of geriatric
population from current 96 million to around 168
million by 2026.
Increase in lifestyle-related diseases:
There is likely to be a marked increase in the
incidence of lifestyle-related diseases, such as
cardiovascular, oncology and diabetes, when compared to
the communicable and infectious diseases
Rising Literacy:
Growing general awareness, patient preferences
and better utilisation ofinstitutionalised care as a result of
increase in literacy rates.
7p’s Hospital Industry
People
The patients, clients, customers, prospective
patients, providers, staff, management – everyone –
involved in the healthcare organization, facility, or practice.
Surprisingly, this heading wasn’t one of the four
original Marketing Ps. (What were they thinking?) Above
all else, healthcare is a people business—so it’s first on our
list.
The people who deliver a service are a significant
ingredient in the product itself. Consumers evaluate service
and satisfaction based on perceptions and personal
interactions. A patient doesn’t have much insight to a
physician’s clinical skills, but they will know if they are
pleased based on dealt with them as a person. Your
reputation and your brand are not yours alone—it’s a
matter of teamwork.
The amount paid in exchange for the
value received. Price must be competitive and lead
to profit, but may vary within promotional and/or
bundle purchase options.
Price is a toughie in the healthcare
industry. Sometimes there are few or no options:
Price is what it is, or maybe it’s paid through an
individual’s insurance. Elective care or cosmetic
procedures, of course, are a different animal.
Anywhere in this spectrum, price is also a function
of value, competition in the marketplace, and
affordability. Take a serious look at those areas
where there is flexibility, and be open to adjusting
prices.
Price
Presenting the correct product (goods and/or
services) with values that meet or exceed the needs and
expectations of the target market.
When was the last time you took an unbiased
and critical look at yourself—products, service, value
proposition, facility—the works? For a toothpaste
company, the “product” is a box on the store shelf. But
the product for service organizations is usually defined
in terms of personal happiness: less tangible than a
pretty box and not easily quantified.
The primary determinant is in knowing that
customers perceive and receive value and satisfaction
by way of your healthcare practice or organization.
Product
For this list, it’s convenient that Promotion begins
with a P, but some healthcare professionals react negatively to
the “retail” or “blue-light-special” connotation. A better label for
this category is communications, meaning all the direct and
indirect ways of expressing yourself (your practice, your brand,
your services) to those who need and want your services.
This includes both personal or direct interaction
(one-to-one, inspiring referrals), and interacting with many
(advertising, public relations, publicity). In all instances, this is
done in a professional way. The objective is to critically examine
how, where and when you let others know about what you can
do for them. (And those in need want this information.)
This is also where you consider changes in the
media that’s in play. A few years ago, nobody had a website. And
a few moments ago, Social Media Marketing had yet to be
invented. Some newspapers have disappeared or gone online
only. Magazines and other publications, online and in print,
adjust to capture audiences.
Promotion:
Place
Presenting products or services to the customer
(patient, client, end-user) in the right place and at the right
time.
The most obvious “place” is the office, facility,
Surgery Center—where the product meets the user. In
healthcare, the place for purchase decision is often separate
from where and when product/service is delivered. Keep this
spectrum in mind…a change in location can impact the
decision to buy. And it’s likely that more than one “place” is
involved when there are multiple providers in the practice
and/or multiple offices.
(Importantly, place can also refer to your
marketplace demographics, or even the world if you deliver
services over the Internet.)
Packaging
What the customer perceives and experiences about you,
your product/service—tangible and intangible—in every form of visual
contact. (Sometimes “Physical” or “Physical Evidence.”)
This is not only the hands-on, physical container of a
physical product…the definition is also experiential, and often more so for
healthcare marketing. Look at this through the end-user’s window, and
everything counts. Take a fresh look—as if for the first time—at the
appearance of the physical office or location, the impression of your
reception area, the look and feel of brochures and website, and even the
appearance of staff.
Some doctors never walk through the front door of their
own office. Try it. You might be surprised to see what patients are seeing as
they form their first impressions. (First impressions take about 10 seconds
to form…and you’ve only got one shot at it.)
Packaging can also refer to how you bundle services (think
of a plastic surgeon offering a “mommy makeover” —lipo and tummy
tuck—for moms who have finished having children).
Positioning
How your brand, product or service is perceived
in the hearts and minds of customers and prospective
customers.
Positioning means, “Why you?” Another toughie.
Think of positioning as what you would want
people—both patients and prospective patients or customers—
to say about you? Would they use the same words that are part
of your marketing message? Acknowledged experts in
positioning, authors Reis and Trout, say that what your
customers think and say about you is an absolute critical
success factor. And that saw cuts in both directions—positively
and negatively.

Hospital sector in service management

  • 1. Subject : Service Management Topic : About Hospital Sector Submit to : Ms.Tanvi Bhalala
  • 2. TYBBA (Div-2) Group Members Roll no. Name 226 Nasit Janak 237 Patel Vikas 238 Patel Vinay 239 Pathak Denish 252 Savani Jay 254 Shah Keval
  • 3. Index 1. Overview of hospital industry 2. Outlook of hospital industry 3. Major hospitals in India 4. Emerging trend in health care 5. 7 p’s of Hospital industry
  • 6. Healthcare is a big issue among urban Indians. Earlier, an Indian used to spend hardly on his or her healthcare. However, now there is an awareness about health related issues and problems. Not just men but women are equally concerned about their health and issues related to it.
  • 7. In past decade, there have been a number of healthcare companies that have emerged in the country. Today, if you want to go under a surgery then these hospitals are well equipped to perform any kind of surgery. Hence, people are avoiding going abroad and saving money. A surgery in US could cost you $50,000 to $100,000 however in India you could get it done only in $10,000 to $15,000.
  • 8. The Indian healthcare sector comprises the sub-sectors of hospitals, medical infrastructure, medical devices, clinical trials, outsourcing, telemedicine, health insurance and medical equipment. India presently has 0.5 million doctors, 0.9 million nurses and around 1.37 million beds, and has the highest number of medical and nursing colleges, at 303 and 3,904, respectively. In addition, the cost of medical treatment in India is one-tenth that compared to costs in the US and Europe.
  • 10. The main areas where a number of market opportunities exist for both domestic and foreign players in the Indian healthcare domain include medical tourism, healthcare insurance, telemedicine and medical equipment. Some of the advantages and opportunity areas for further growth of the sector are:
  • 11. Rising medical tourism: The main factors contributing to rising medical tourism in India are presence of a well-educated, English-speaking medical staff, as well as state-of-the art private hospitals and diagnostic facilities. Growing economy: With a growing middle class, and rising health awareness and purchasing power, the healthcare insurance sector is poised for strong growth in coming years in India.
  • 12. Telemedicine: Growth in the telemedicine sub- sector is taking place due to the need for specialist doctors in rural areas, as most of them live in urban or semi-urban centers of India. Rural areas, roughly with a population of 700 million, can be provided healthcare facilities through telemedicine, with remote diagnosis, and monitoring and treatment of patients via videoconferencing. Healthcare infrastructure: Growth in Indian healthcare infrastructure is accompanied by strong demand for medical equipment such as x-ray machines, CT scanners and electrocardiographs, highlighting an opportunity for global players making quality products in this space.

Artemis Hospital (Gurgaon) 15. The National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS)
  • 15. Emerging trends in Healthcare
  • 16. Dual Disease Burden: Urban India is now on the threshold of becoming the disease capital of the world and facing an increased incidence of Lifestyle related diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, etc. At the same time, the Urban Poor and Rural India are struggling with Communicable Diseases such as tuberculosis, typhoid, dysentery etc. Rural India is also seeing a higher occurrence of Non-Communicable Life-style related diseases. Lack of Infrastructure and Manpower: Accessibility to healthcare services is extremely limited to many rural areas of the country. In addition, existing healthcare infrastructure is unplanned and is irregularly distributed. Further, there is a severe lack of trained doctors and nurses to service the needs of the large Indian populous.
  • 17. Rise in disposable income: Households in the above INR 200,000 per annum bracket can benefit from an increase in disposable income from 14 percent in 2009-2010E to 26 percent in 2014- 2015P making healthcare more affordable. Medical Tourism: India emerging as a major medical tourist destination with medical tourism market.
  • 18. Drivers of growth for the Hospital Sector: Increase in Population: Increase in Population: Expected increase in population from about 1.1 billion in 2009-2010 to 1.4 billion by 2026. Shift in demographics: 60 percent of the population in the younger age bracket and an expectedincrease of geriatric population from current 96 million to around 168 million by 2026.
  • 19. Increase in lifestyle-related diseases: There is likely to be a marked increase in the incidence of lifestyle-related diseases, such as cardiovascular, oncology and diabetes, when compared to the communicable and infectious diseases Rising Literacy: Growing general awareness, patient preferences and better utilisation ofinstitutionalised care as a result of increase in literacy rates.
  • 21. People The patients, clients, customers, prospective patients, providers, staff, management – everyone – involved in the healthcare organization, facility, or practice. Surprisingly, this heading wasn’t one of the four original Marketing Ps. (What were they thinking?) Above all else, healthcare is a people business—so it’s first on our list. The people who deliver a service are a significant ingredient in the product itself. Consumers evaluate service and satisfaction based on perceptions and personal interactions. A patient doesn’t have much insight to a physician’s clinical skills, but they will know if they are pleased based on dealt with them as a person. Your reputation and your brand are not yours alone—it’s a matter of teamwork.
  • 22. The amount paid in exchange for the value received. Price must be competitive and lead to profit, but may vary within promotional and/or bundle purchase options. Price is a toughie in the healthcare industry. Sometimes there are few or no options: Price is what it is, or maybe it’s paid through an individual’s insurance. Elective care or cosmetic procedures, of course, are a different animal. Anywhere in this spectrum, price is also a function of value, competition in the marketplace, and affordability. Take a serious look at those areas where there is flexibility, and be open to adjusting prices. Price
  • 23. Presenting the correct product (goods and/or services) with values that meet or exceed the needs and expectations of the target market. When was the last time you took an unbiased and critical look at yourself—products, service, value proposition, facility—the works? For a toothpaste company, the “product” is a box on the store shelf. But the product for service organizations is usually defined in terms of personal happiness: less tangible than a pretty box and not easily quantified. The primary determinant is in knowing that customers perceive and receive value and satisfaction by way of your healthcare practice or organization. Product
  • 24. For this list, it’s convenient that Promotion begins with a P, but some healthcare professionals react negatively to the “retail” or “blue-light-special” connotation. A better label for this category is communications, meaning all the direct and indirect ways of expressing yourself (your practice, your brand, your services) to those who need and want your services. This includes both personal or direct interaction (one-to-one, inspiring referrals), and interacting with many (advertising, public relations, publicity). In all instances, this is done in a professional way. The objective is to critically examine how, where and when you let others know about what you can do for them. (And those in need want this information.) This is also where you consider changes in the media that’s in play. A few years ago, nobody had a website. And a few moments ago, Social Media Marketing had yet to be invented. Some newspapers have disappeared or gone online only. Magazines and other publications, online and in print, adjust to capture audiences. Promotion:
  • 25. Place Presenting products or services to the customer (patient, client, end-user) in the right place and at the right time. The most obvious “place” is the office, facility, Surgery Center—where the product meets the user. In healthcare, the place for purchase decision is often separate from where and when product/service is delivered. Keep this spectrum in mind…a change in location can impact the decision to buy. And it’s likely that more than one “place” is involved when there are multiple providers in the practice and/or multiple offices. (Importantly, place can also refer to your marketplace demographics, or even the world if you deliver services over the Internet.)
  • 26. Packaging What the customer perceives and experiences about you, your product/service—tangible and intangible—in every form of visual contact. (Sometimes “Physical” or “Physical Evidence.”) This is not only the hands-on, physical container of a physical product…the definition is also experiential, and often more so for healthcare marketing. Look at this through the end-user’s window, and everything counts. Take a fresh look—as if for the first time—at the appearance of the physical office or location, the impression of your reception area, the look and feel of brochures and website, and even the appearance of staff. Some doctors never walk through the front door of their own office. Try it. You might be surprised to see what patients are seeing as they form their first impressions. (First impressions take about 10 seconds to form…and you’ve only got one shot at it.) Packaging can also refer to how you bundle services (think of a plastic surgeon offering a “mommy makeover” —lipo and tummy tuck—for moms who have finished having children).
  • 27. Positioning How your brand, product or service is perceived in the hearts and minds of customers and prospective customers. Positioning means, “Why you?” Another toughie. Think of positioning as what you would want people—both patients and prospective patients or customers— to say about you? Would they use the same words that are part of your marketing message? Acknowledged experts in positioning, authors Reis and Trout, say that what your customers think and say about you is an absolute critical success factor. And that saw cuts in both directions—positively and negatively.
