Dr. Satheesh & Associates Healthcare Management LLP: Illuminating Dark Paths of Indian Healthcare Date:   Tuesday , December 15, 2015 Healthcare, the rudimentary human right, is perhaps the most neglected affair in India. With poor infrastructure and little to no avail from the government, the scenario is still worse in villages and underprivileged areas. But with exordium of technology and government\'s welcoming FDI policy, the wheel is tacking - the face of Indian healthcare is transmuting. Yet, it\'s inhibited to major cities and urban areas. Though people get standard healthcare services in the hospitals in cities, they\'re to compensate with the cost - patients are capitalized by the doctors who own most of these hospitals through nonessential services in the name of operations, blood-tests, and medication amongst others. Adscititiously, the conventional architecture of a hospital does not efficienize a hospital process. This malpractice of the noble vocation engenders healthcare wastage, thus incrementing the overall cost. But, application of Lean Principles has gone long way in manufacturing industry and the same can efficaciously be applied in healthcare to ably reduce the overall capital expenditure and operational cost up to 40 percent, thus ceasing the defects leading to - rework, over processing, waiting, motion, over production, underused inventory, conveyance, and underused aptitude. Taking the Torch Forward Identifying the impacts of lean principles in healthcare, with over 25 years of experience in hospital administration, Dr. Satheesh Ramankutty chartered Dr. Satheesh & Associates Healthcare Management LLP.

Our effort is to create ideal talent utilization by bringing technology and bridging both talent and technology with training, along with application of lean that can lower the healthcare costs\". Yet, the transformation is arduous in India as most of the medicos are not tech-savvy and still follow the traditional medical system. Dr. Satheesh integrates, \"The older generation is not technologically advanced and there lies the main challenge. Only 25 percent of the medicos above 45 years use computers and the lack of training shows inability to utilize perplexed hospital software\".

Dr. Satheesh coalesces, \"Secondary care hospitals with a diminutive bit of investment and ideal technology can provide tertiary care because in this, 80 percent of the patients don\'t require tertiary care. Our conception is to bring tertiary care to secondary care through advanced technologies\".

Catechizing concrete, achievable, measurable, time-bound, and authentic goals, this organization searches high heaven for patient, employee, equipment, organizational, and all the safety aspects.
