This document provides an overview of the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojna (RSBY) health insurance scheme in India, which aims to provide health insurance coverage to below poverty line families. It discusses the challenges of access to healthcare in India, including high out-of-pocket costs that push many into poverty each year. Previous government-run health insurance schemes had low enrollment and claims ratios. The document examines the implementation of RSBY in Kerala state through interviews with hospitals and insurers, finding some of the same challenges reported elsewhere, such as with enrollment and fraud. Further research is needed to improve the effectiveness of the program.
The Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) is an Indian government-run health insurance scheme that provides health insurance coverage to below poverty line (BPL) families. It covers over 34 million BPL families. The scheme aims to address issues with previous government health insurance schemes by learning from their successes and failures. Key features include providing portability across India, using biometric smart cards for cashless access to public and private hospitals, and incentivizing various stakeholders like insurers, hospitals, and intermediaries. However, there remains a large gap between the number of registered beneficiaries and actual hospitalizations, and there are also issues with awareness, coordination, and implementation.
RSBY is a health insurance scheme in India that provides cashless insurance coverage of Rs. 30,000 per year for hospitalization to below poverty line families. It was launched in 2008 to provide health insurance to families not covered by other government schemes. The scheme uses smart cards and is funded jointly by the central and state governments. It aims to empower beneficiaries and provide a business model for various stakeholders like insurers, hospitals, and intermediaries. However, there are some shortcomings like unnecessary treatment, lack of primary care coverage, and not accounting for state-specific health needs.

Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana – Performance Trends and Policy RecommendationsCIRM
India is characterized by modest health indicators, a paucity of medical financing schemes that have reached scale, high per capita out-of-pocket health expenditure, and very low public health spending on low-income citizens. The lack of financing options especially when the population is facing a double burden of disease (frequent communicable and catastrophic lifestyle diseases) leads to poor health outcomes and to poverty traps. Hence, optimal public health financing is important for improving national health outcomes and reducing vulnerability.

Proper health care is a universal human right.
Increasing healthcare cost make it very difficult for poor people
to access the even basic health care facilities. Most of the Indians
live in rural area. Majority of them are too poor to afford health
care services by their own pocket. These people cannot afford
general health insurance policies. In this paper, we discuss health
insurance schemes that have been started for these people. We
also discuss the challenges these schemes have. We also suggest
the steps that can be taken to improve the penetration and
effectiveness of these schemes for the better health management

National Health Protection Scheme - Challenges of ensuring Quality Healthcare at Affordable Costs.
Dr. Sudhakar Shinde, CEO, Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Jan Arogya Yojana (MPJAY)
India currently lacks a centralized emergency medical services (EMS) system, with services being fragmented and variable across the country. The document discusses models of EMS in India including the dominant EMRI services and others in various states. It proposes a nationwide EMS system with key elements like standardized ambulances, a common toll-free call number, and agreements with both public and private empaneled healthcare facilities. Establishing such a system across India is estimated to cost between 1700-3000 crores (US$230-400 million) annually to support a fleet of 10,000 ambulances, which could help meet the national goal of spending 3% of GDP on healthcare. A reliable EMS system is argued to be increasingly

Social health insurance (SHI) is a health insurance scheme that targets formal sector workers. It is funded through compulsory payroll taxes paid by both employees and employers, with premiums being income-rated so lower-income employees pay less. Germany and Belgium have classical examples where employees/employers contribute to mutual funds used to finance healthcare for the population. India has three key SHI schemes - ESIS, CGHS, and Railways Health Scheme. ESIS covers lower-paid formal sector workers through employee/employer contributions but suffers from low quality care. CGHS provides benefits to central government employees through nominal contributions but uses 18% of its budget for only 0.4% of the population. Advantages of SHI

Tech transfer making it as a risk free approach in pharmaceutical and biotech iniaemedu
Tech transfer is a common methodology for transferring new products or an existing
commercial product to R&D or to another manufacturing site. Transferring product knowledge to the
manufacturing floor is crucial and it is an ongoing approach in the pharmaceutical and biotech
industry. Without adopting this process, no company can manufacture its niche products, let alone
market them. Technology transfer is a complicated, process because it is highly cross functional. Due
to its cross functional dependence, these projects face numerous risks and failure. If anidea cannot be
successfully brought out in the form of a product, there is no customer benefit, or satisfaction.
Moreover, high emphasis is in sustaining manufacturing with highest quality each and every time. It
is vital that tech transfer projects need to be executed flawlessly. To accomplish this goal, risk
management is crucial and project team needs to use the risk management approach seamlessly.

The document discusses India's Gold Monetization Scheme. It aims to reduce India's reliance on gold imports by mobilizing the estimated 20,000 tonnes of gold held by Indian households and institutions. Under the scheme, depositors can earn interest on gold deposited in bank metal accounts. The deposited gold can then be lent to jewelers. This would help reduce imports, increase recycling of domestic gold, and earn interest for depositors while providing jewelers access to gold to meet demand. The scheme's objectives are to mobilize household and institutional gold stocks, make gold available on loan to jewelers, and reduce dependence on imports.

Understanding the concept of risk poolingHFG Project
Presented during Day Two of the 2016 Nigeria Health Care Financing Training Workshop. Presented by Dr. Gafar Alawode. More: https://www.hfgproject.org/hcf-training-nigeria
ACME is considering centralizing its two warehouses into one centralized warehouse to reduce inventory costs while maintaining a 97% service level. Currently, each of ACME's New Jersey and Massachusetts warehouses operate independently to meet 97% of demand. By aggregating demand across locations into one warehouse, ACME can take advantage of risk pooling to reduce demand variability and lower safety stock levels. The document estimates that with centralization, ACME could reduce average inventory levels by around 36% for Product A and 43% for Product B.
This document discusses healthcare in India and proposes ways to make it more affordable and accessible. It notes that healthcare costs are rising and most people rely on private healthcare, while public healthcare is underfunded and understaffed. It analyzes issues like disease burdens, the growth of private sector, health insurance schemes, use of generics, and medical tourism. It recommends increasing public spending on healthcare to at least 5% of GDP, improving infrastructure, enhancing the health workforce, and promoting primary healthcare to achieve universal coverage in an equitable manner.
“Sarvé bhavantu sukhinaḥ, sarvé santu nirāmayāḥ, Sarvé bhadrāṇi pashyantu, mā kashchid_duḥkha-bhāg-bhavét”. The meaning of this Sanskrit Sloka is “All should/must be happy, be healthy, see good; may no one have sorrow. Mahatma Gandhi also says, “It is health which is real wealth, and not pieces of gold and silver”. Without robust health nobody can do anything. WHO emphasized on “Health for all” in this 21st Century in Geneva Conference in 1998. Government of India also committed to the goal of ‘Health for All’. WHO defined “health” as "State of complete physical, mental, and social well being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". There are strong linkages between population, health and development. India’s health challenges are not only huge in magnitude due to its large population but they are complex due to its diversity and the chronic poverty and inequality. There are extreme inter-state variations, caused by not only the cultural diversity but because -the states are at different stages of demographic transition, epidemiological transition and socio economic development. Along with the old problems like persistence of communicable diseases and high maternal mortality in some parts, there is an urgent need to address the emerging issues like the threat of non-communicable diseases, HIV (AIDS) and health problems of the growing aged population. Accelerating demographic transition is not only necessary for the population stabilization but it is closely related to health goals. Despite substantial improvements in some health indicators in the past decade, India contributes disproportionately to the global burden of disease, with health indicators that compare unfavorably with other middle-income countries and India's regional neighbours. Large health disparities between states, between rural and urban populations, and across social classes persist. A large proportion of the population is impoverished because of high out-of-pocket health-care expenditures and suffers the adverse consequences of poor quality of health care. The obligation of the Government of India is to ensure the highest possible health status to its population and access to quality health care has been recognized by a number of its key policy documents. This paper attempts to study the over view of health care in India.
Key words: Health Care, National Health Policy, Access, Affordability, Equity, Urban Vs Rural-------------
The document discusses key aspects of India's national health care system including health outcomes, determinants of health, and challenges in achieving universal access to health care. It notes that while the national system aims to provide comprehensive free services, many states struggle due to insufficient funding, management issues, and shortages. As a result, there are significant inequalities across states and between socioeconomic groups in health indicators and access to services. Out-of-pocket expenditures also remain high due to issues like stockouts of free medicines in public facilities. The document calls for strengthening public provision of health services, increasing health spending, and ensuring equitable access to improve health status and reduce inequalities across India.
STATUS OF HEALTH TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT IN INDIA (2010)Ruby Med Plus
Research is well-established on a national level, especially essential national Health research (ENHR), with the Indian Council of Medical Research identifying the priority areas. However, the main users of these research findings are academics and researchers. In India, for commissioned research, there is a direct channel of communication between Health care researchers and policymakers. For non-commissioned research the channels of dissemination to policymakers are less clear and more varied, as dissemination of noncommissioned research is limited to academic channels (e.g. papers in peer-reviewed journals or presentations at conferences). The direct dissemination of noncommissioned research at central government level is available to a range of policymakers by distribution of a research report or inviting key policymakers and other stakeholders to a dissemination workshop often less intensively. Another Major constraint, policymakers may not fully understand how to use research to support policy formation as policymakers may not have the ability to evaluate the quality of a research study, difference between qualitative and quantitative research or to interpret research findings, thus experience difficulties in incorporating research findings into policy development for health care programs, which may lead to the failure to translate research into policy or to extraneous conclusions drawn from research results.

The document discusses challenges and opportunities for information and communication technology (ICT) in India's healthcare sector. It notes that while ICT could help address issues like the shortage of doctors and hospital beds in rural areas, the sector faces challenges like low government healthcare spending, lack of infrastructure, and lack of awareness and access in rural areas. The document advocates for government policies to better implement ICT and realize its potential to improve healthcare access, quality and lower costs.
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for applying operations research (O.R.) principles to healthcare systems in emerging countries. It outlines several key issues facing healthcare delivery in these countries, including growing wealth and health disparities between urban and rural areas, increasing rates of non-communicable diseases, lack of health insurance coverage for most populations, and antiquated infrastructure. It then provides examples of how O.R. has been applied to healthcare projects in some low-income countries to improve monitoring, evaluation and resource allocation. Finally, it proposes a roadmap for applying O.R. in emerging country healthcare, focusing on improving access to medical supplies and products, hospital/clinic efficiency, disease prevention programs, public health emergencies, health
While India has several centers of excellence in healthcare delivery, overall infrastructure and access to healthcare is limited across much of the country. The Indian healthcare sector is large at $40 billion currently but expenditure and infrastructure are still amongst the lowest globally. However, the sector is growing rapidly at over 12% annually due to factors such as rising incomes, increasing disease burden from both infectious and lifestyle diseases, and expansion of health insurance coverage. If challenges around quality, access and regulation can be addressed, the sector is expected to reach $55 billion by 2020 and provide many new jobs.
The document discusses the need to establish a legal system to protect medical professionals in India. It notes that violence against healthcare workers is on the rise in India. There is currently only one bill pending to protect doctors, but it has not been passed. The document argues that passing legislation like the Prevention of Violence Against Doctors Bill would help medical professionals feel safer and encourage new generations to enter the field. It also argues that healthcare workers deserve fair treatment under the legal system.
Fortis Hospitals is one of the largest private healthcare companies in India with a network of 28 hospitals and about 3,300 beds. It aims to grow aggressively to have 40 hospitals and 6,000 beds across India by 2012. The healthcare industry in India is dominated by private sectors due to lower public expenditure and a growing and aging population. India also offers highly cost competitive medical treatment and is emerging as a hub for medical tourism, providing huge opportunities for growth in the private healthcare sector. However, the industry remains slow in adopting information technology and faces threats from increasing healthcare options in other countries like China.
The document summarizes opportunities for India in exporting health services. It notes that India has a large skilled English-speaking workforce at a lower cost compared to Western countries. Various health services that can be outsourced to India include medical transcription, claims processing, teleradiology and clinical trials. India also has the potential to become a major medical tourism destination due to world-class healthcare and facilities at a lower cost. Quality control accreditation is important to ensure high standards for patients seeking healthcare in India.
A STUDY ON PATIENT’S PREFERENCES AND SERVICE QUALITY OF THE HOSPITALS WITH SP...IAEME Publication
Patient satisfaction regarding health care is a multidimensional concept that now becomes a very crucial health care outcome. An analysis of this satisfaction with the health care received revealed the following aspects for patient satisfaction and overall performance of an organization encompassing the total quality, trust, reputation, continuity, competence, information, organization, facilities, attention to psychosocial problems, humaneness and outcome of care. All of these factors have high influence on service quality of health care organizations and at the same time. Patients have been given the choice and opportunity to choose between the different hospitals in country regions, and sometimes amongst different hospitals in neighbouring countries. This kind of choice is promoting competition. While many current health care improvement efforts are taken by the government of India such as provision of health infrastructure, equipment, introduction of the health insurance scheme and the adjustments of the salaries of health workers, they seem to have overshadowed the need for constant monitoring to examine the quality of service being provided. Hence empirical research on service quality in health care in is the need of the hour that signals an alarm to the health industry.
Reaching the Missing Middle: Ensuring Health Coverage for India’s Urban PoorHFG Project
This document discusses health coverage challenges facing India's urban poor population and opportunities to expand coverage through the new National Health Protection Scheme (NHPS). It notes that India's urban poor, estimated at 27% of the urban population, have been excluded from existing public health insurance schemes that target those below the poverty line. The NHPS, announced in 2018, aims to provide health insurance of up to 500,000 rupees per family annually. The document argues that integrating primary health care benefits into insurance schemes could help manage population health and reduce costs by keeping people healthy and out of hospitals. There is no single solution, but the NHPS could play a major role in expanding safety nets for the urban poor through financial protection and investing in
India aims to provide universal health coverage to its citizens by 2017, but currently relies heavily on private healthcare due to inadequate public services. Most households pay out-of-pocket for medical care, resulting in over 60% of total health expenditures and increased financial hardship. While various government schemes cover portions of the population, only 17% are insured overall. To achieve universal coverage, India must increase public financing to at least 2.5% of GDP, expand infrastructure and the health workforce, and ensure effective implementation and monitoring of health programs across all areas.
Healthcare in India-Current State, Key ImperativesDr. Manav Dagar
The document discusses the current state of healthcare in India and provides an overview of the key issues and challenges. It notes that India ranks low on human development indices due to below par growth in health, education, and income. While some progress was made initially, India is likely to miss most Millennium Development Goals targets for health due to slow improvement across key indicators like child and maternal mortality rates. It highlights the need for the new National Health Policy to address gaps in accessibility, affordability and quality of healthcare services."

Effective broadcasting in mobile ad hoc networks using gridiaemedu
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a new grid-based broadcasting mechanism for mobile ad hoc networks. The paper argues that flooding approaches to broadcasting are inefficient and cause network congestion. The proposed approach divides the network into a hierarchical grid structure. When a node needs to broadcast a message, it sends the message to the first node in the appropriate grid, which is then responsible for updating and forwarding the message within that grid. Simulation results showed the grid-based approach outperformed other broadcasting protocols and was more reliable, efficient and scalable.
Effect of scenario environment on the performance of mane ts routingiaemedu
The document analyzes the effect of scenario environment on the performance of the AODV routing protocol in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). It studies AODV performance under different scenarios varying network size, maximum node speed, and pause time. The performance is evaluated based on packet delivery ratio, throughput, and end-to-end delay. The results show that AODV performs best in some scenarios and worse in others, indicating that scenario parameters significantly impact routing protocol performance in MANETs.
Adaptive job scheduling with load balancing for workflow applicationiaemedu
This document discusses adaptive job scheduling with load balancing for workflow applications in a grid platform. It begins with an abstract that describes grid computing and how scheduling plays a key role in performance for grid workflow applications. Both static and dynamic scheduling strategies are discussed, but they require high scheduling costs and may not produce good schedules. The paper then proposes a novel semi-dynamic algorithm that allows the schedule to adapt to changes in the dynamic grid environment through both static and dynamic scheduling. Load balancing is incorporated to handle situations where jobs are delayed due to resource fluctuations or overloading of processors. The rest of the paper outlines the related works, proposed scheduling algorithm, system model, and evaluation of the approach.
This document summarizes research on transaction reordering techniques. It discusses transaction reordering approaches based on reducing resource conflicts and increasing resource sharing. Specifically, it covers:
1) A "steal-on-abort" technique that reorders an aborted transaction behind the transaction that caused the abort to avoid repeated conflicts.
2) A replication protocol that attempts to reorder transactions during certification to avoid aborts rather than restarting immediately.
3) Transaction reordering and grouping during continuous data loading to prevent deadlocks when loading data for materialized join views.

It describes several techniques to detect misbehavior, including watchdog, ACK/SACK, TWOACK, S-TWOACK, and credit-based/reputation-based schemes. Credit-based schemes use virtual currencies to provide incentives for nodes to forward packets, while reputation-based schemes track nodes' past behaviors. The document aims to survey approaches for mitigating the impact of misbehaving nodes in MANET routing.
A novel approach for satellite imagery storage by classifyiaemedu
This document presents a novel approach for classifying and storing satellite imagery by detecting and storing only non-duplicate regions. It uses kernel principal component analysis to reduce the dimensionality and extract features of satellite images. Fuzzy N-means clustering is then used to segment the images into blocks. A duplication detection algorithm compares blocks to identify duplicate and non-duplicate regions. Only the non-duplicate regions are stored in the database, improving storage efficiency and updating speed compared to completely replacing existing images. Support vector machines are used to categorize the non-duplicate blocks into the appropriate classes in the existing images.
