    CHAPTER 1

    INTRODUCTION

    Healthcare sector is considered one of the largest sector in terms of both revenue and

    workforce employment. The estimated valuation of the sector was close to USD 74 billion as

    at financial year 2011-12.

    A large and growing population, a booming economy, rapid urbanization which has

    expanded the middle class, rising diseases and increased awareness level has enable the

    sector to grow at much higher rate.

    The sector is dominated by private players capturing about 70% of the total market delivery

    in India. Leading from the front is the Hospital industry which is estimated to be around USD

    54.7 billion by 2012 and contributes around 82% of the total revenue generated by healthcare

    industry as a whole. However, there remains a significant gap in terms of number of beds or

    number of doctors available which is far below the World Health Organizations (WHO)

    requirement of 1:250. Apart from this the sector is currently surrounded with multiple issues

    in regards to infrastructure, availability of adequate investment, skilled human resources.

    Although the government has taken several steps in eliminating healthcare related issues but

    it still remains insufficient and a lot is needed to be done. Giving due importance to the sector

    the share of healthcare in 12th five year plan allocation of total funds is increased to 2.5% of

    the GDP. The current plan is a step ahead in the journey towards quality healthcare for all.

    REVIEW OF LITERATURE

    As the research work on healthcare sector is large which is usually by top cooperates and as

    their reviews are given below

    Emerging Trends: Indian Healthcare Industry, by Onicra Credit Rating Agency of

    India Ltd., December 2012.

    SMEs can concentrate only in few cities and towns as they lack the infrastructure & funds for

    registering themselves at national level. Healthcare industry requires high initial investment

    and the entrepreneurs are unable to arrange such amount of capital investment hence this

    sector is not growing at a fast pace. Due to limited capacity restriction these SMEs cannot

    operate beyond a certain level. Changing economic scenario is putting pressure on investors

    as sophisticated machinery needs to be imported and rupee devaluation is digging deeper

    hole in the pocket of investors. Lack of information on market segmentation and demand

    makes SMEs handicapped in terms of planning and targeting the profitable market. Lack of

    skilled human resources is one of the major challenges faced by SMEs as the skilled

    resources are hired by big corporate at a lucrative pay package and the SMEs are left with no

    other option than compromising on quality. The Public Private Partnership (PPP) model is

    lacking in the SME sector, if PPP model is implemented intensively it can enhance the

    quality of health care services as funds required for improving the infrastructure will be

    provided by government and management skill can be given by the SME unit. This initiative

    will make healthcare facilities affordable for the middle and lower strata of the society. One

  • A STUDY ON EMERGING TREND IN HEALTHCARE SECTOR 6

    of the major challenges which the industry as whole is facing is paucity of bed. India

    currently has 1 bed per 1050 people as compared to 1 bed per 250 people. Due to lack of

    infrastructure and investment the SMEs are unable to bridge this gap.

    Emerging Trends in Healthcare, by KPMG in India, 17 February 2012.

    Healthcare is at an influx of paradigm shifts in terms of changing disease patterns, increasing

    dual disease burden for both rural and urban India. On the supply side there has been uneven

    distribution of healthcare infrastructure and resources posing various challenges to the sector.

    A multi-pronged approach from key stake holders is necessary to address the issue. Both the

    public and private sector need to work in tandem to make healthcare available, accessible and

    affordable. India would need various solutions towards this end. The government plans to

    undertake building 6 super speciality tertiary care hospitals with research and education

    centres across the country. These would cater to the weaker sections making high end clinical

    care available to the masses. Encouraging current initiatives on pubic private partnerships,

    for both the care provider and education sectors, should continue. The government should

    continue flagship programmes such as such as Rashtriya Swastha Bima Yojana (RSBY) and

    State level Insurance schemes like the Arogyashri, Chiranjeevi etc.

    CHAPTER 3

    INDIAN HEALTHCARE SECTOR

    The Indian healthcare delivery market is estimated at US$ 18.7 billion and employs over four

    million people, making it one of the largest service sectors in the economy today. Total

    national healthcare spending reached 5.2% of GDP, or US $34.9 billion in 2004 and is

    expected to rise to 5.5% of GDP or US $60.9 billion by 2009. This includes the

    pharmaceuticals market, government and private spending. Private segment constitutes bulk

    and growing rapidly, to reach $38 billion by 2012. There are various gaps in the Indian

    healthcare market, which also present a vast opportunity. Good healthcare in India is in

    extreme short supply. Hospitals in India are running at 80-90 per cent occupancy. With the

    demand for healthcare far exceeding supply, Indias healthcare industry is expected to grow

    by around 15 per cent a year for the next six years.

    There are some economic factors which make India such an exciting market. Since

    healthcare is dependent on the people served, Indias huge population of a billion people

    represents a big opportunity. The middle income group in this vast base is also a large 300

    million. India spends only 1% of its GDP on health, translating into $35 per capita. France

    spends 10.4% and Japan 8%. A significant portion of the population receives inadequate or

    no health care, specifically 25.7% living below the poverty line and those who have only the

    public health system to rely on. National Family Health Survey for 2005-06 estimates 453

    deaths per 100,000 women; higher than Cambodia, Bolivia and Botswana. India accounts for

    20% of the world's maternal deaths, with a woman dying every five minutes. 20% of deaths

    of children worldwide under the age of 5 occur in India. The private healthcare sector in

  • A STUDY ON EMERGING TREND IN HEALTHCARE SECTOR 8

    India accounts for over 75 per cent of total healthcare expenditure in the country and is one

    of the largest in the world. Indias healthcare sector, however, falls well below international

    benchmarks for physical infrastructure and manpower, and even falls below the standards

    existing in comparable developing countries.

    Given the growing demand, the emergence of reputed private players, and the huge

    investment needs in the healthcare sector, in recent years, there has been growing interest

    among foreign players and non-resident Indians to enter the Indian healthcare market. There

    is also growing interest among domestic and international financial institutions, private

    equity funds, venture capitalists, and banks to explore investment opportunities across a wide

    range of segments. This study examines the status and the major brands in the key segments

    of the healthcare sector, i.e., in hospitals. It also analyses the implications for the overall

    healthcare system.

  • A STUDY ON EMERGING TREND IN HEALTHCARE SECTOR 9

    SEGMENTS IN HEALTH SECTOR

    It comprises of many segments like: - Medical infrastructure, Medical equipment, Health

    insurance, Training and education, Telemedicine, Clinical trials etc. The industry has grown

    at about 13 per cent annually in recent years and is expected to grow at 15 per cent per year

    over the next four to five years.

    How the healthcare Pie will evolve:-

    2012

    100%=$78.6bn

    Share of tertiary care in the total healthcare market is around 15-20%. Market for tertiary

    care expected to grow at a faster rate, due to rise in complex in-patient ailments such as heart

    diseases and cancer.

  • A STUDY ON EMERGING TREND IN HEALTHCARE SECTOR 10

    KEY TRENDS AND DRIVERS IN HEALTHCARE SECTOR

    Shift to lifestyle-related diseases to drive higher healthcare spends

    While rising incomes and growing literacy are likely to drive higher per capita expenditures

    on healthcare, the shift in disease profiles from infectious to lifestyle-related diseases are

    expected to raise expenditures per treatment. Lifestyle-related diseases are typically more

    expensive to treat than infectious ones. In 2001, the average inpatient cost for lifestyle-

    related diseases (cardiac problems, digestive issues etc.) was US$ 658 compared to US$ 91

    for infectious diseases.

    Indias disease profile is expected to follow the same pattern as in developed economies.

    Based on demographic trends and disease profiles, lifestyle diseases - cardiovascular, asthma

    and cancer have become the most important segments, and in-patient spending is expected to

    represent nearly 50 per cent of total healthcare expenditure. In the inpatient market, the share

    of infectious diseases is expected to decline from 19 per cent in 2004 to 16 per cent in 2008.

    The number of cardiac-disease-related treatments in India is expected to grow from 1.5

    million to 1.9 million per year over 2004-08, which would constitute 5.1 per cent of all

    treatments, The spend share of inpatient cardiac treatment is estimated to grow to 19 per cent

    of the total in 2008 from 16 per cent in 2004. This would drive a 13.4 per cent CAGR in the

    inpatient cardiac care market from US$ 1.2 billion in 2004 to US$ 2.04 billion in 2008. The

    average realisation per inpatient for cardiac related treatment is much higher than for other

    disease segments.

    Growing Middle Class and Patient Preference

    There is favourable increase in percentage of working class population from 32% in 2006 to

    36% in year 2016. General awareness, literacy rates and patient preferences in healthcare

    decisions is growing. National Health Policy, 2002 has laid strong emphasis on the policy

    goal of better engaging patients in their healthcare decisions.

    Awareness towards Preventive healthcare

    Increasing health consciousness among common people has created avenues for preventive

    healthcare. Hospitals have started witnessing a number of patients who visit for health check-

    ups as a preventive measure. The various health check-up packages offered include a

    combination of CBC, blood sugar, cholesterol, urine, stool, digital chest X-Ray, ECG,

    Cardic 6%

    general examination, blood group, blood sugar, liver profile, proteins, lipid profile,

    cholesterol, and renal profile. Around 70 per cent of treatment decisions in the country are

    based on lab results. This trend has further led to newer avenues for companies involved in

    carrying out diagnostic tests.

    Increased life expectancy and an ageing population

    In the domestic market, health spending will be sustained by two demographic trends:

    increased life expectancy and an ageing population. Life expectancy, which averaged 63.3

    years in 2000-04, is expected to increase to 65.1 years in 2005-09 and to 66 years in 2006-10.

    The proportion of the population aged 65 years and over is also on the rise, and will increase

    from 4.7 per cent in 2000 to 5.3 per cent in 2005 and 5.8 per cent in 2010. Although the rate

    of ageing in India is slower than the developed world, the large population makes any

    increase significant in terms of absolute numbers, and therefore also in terms of market

    potential.

    Overburdened health infrastructure & high costs in the West

    The healthcare systems in Europe and the United States are under severe pressure;

    particularly the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK, which has a long list of patients

    waiting for over a year for surgery. In the US the healthcare crisis has a different dimension.

    Around 50 million citizens are uninsured, with even the insured having to pay dearly for

    treatment. Further, the shortage of paramedical professionals such as nurses has aggravated

    the situation. Patients from the US are now regularly beating a path to India, as many of their

    insurance companies have entered into tie-ups with private Indian hospital chains.

  • A STUDY ON EMERGING TREND IN HEALTHCARE SECTOR 13

    Indias value proposition goes far beyond cost; quality second to none

    Cost is not the only factor weighing in Indias favour. Escorts Hospital, for instance, is one of

    the only handful treatment facilities worldwide that specialise in robotic surgery. The death

    rate of coronary bypass patients at Escorts is 0.8 per cent. By contrast, the 1999 death rate for

    the same procedure at New York-Presbyterian Hospital was 2.35 per cent, according to a

    2002 study by the New York State Health Department. The overall success rate of cardiac

    bypasses is 98.7 per cent in India, as opposed to only 97.5 per cent in the United States.

    Healthcare Players Now Targeting Smaller Cities

    Increasing focus on unexplored regions of India in terms of healthcare.

    Growing need for improved healthcare infrastructure in small cities.

    Better access owing to development of new national/international airports e.g.

    Visakhapatnam, Nagpur

  • A STUDY ON EMERGING TREND IN HEALTHCARE SECTOR 14

    EMERGING TRENDS IN INDIAN HEALTHCARE SECTOR

    Rise in lifestyle related diseases

    As discussed earlier in the report though the country has been able to control diseases like

    polio, leprosy and tetanus but it has to now face a new breed of lifestyle related diseases like

    diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular ailments has cropped up. The present generation which

    is accustomed to sedentary work, alcohol consumption and smoking are more prone to such

    lifestyle related diseases. According to World Health Statistics 2012 about 61.3 million

    people in India are diabetic amongst whom about 11% of the male population (adult) and

    10.8% of the female population have shown a significant rise in blood glucose. Similarly, as

    per National Family Health Survey (NFHS) about 13% of the women population and 11% of

    the men population in India is obese.

    Demand of good quality and specialty healthcare facility in Top cities

    There is a significant demand for specialty healthcare facilities like oncology, nephrology

    and ophthalmology in smaller cities. Some of the major healthcare facilitators are entering

    top cities in India.

    Growth in medical tourism

    One of the main external factors which are contributing to the growth of Indian Healthcare

    sector is the rise in medical tourism. According to a leading research agency the medical

    tourism market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 27% to reach USD3.9 billion in 2014

  • A STUDY ON EMERGING TREND IN HEALTHCARE SECTOR 15

    from USD1.9 billion in 2011. India as a well-educated, English speaking nation offering

    quality private hospitals and medical facilities at a relatively lower cost is able to attract

    foreigners. According to industry estimates, in some of the cases India provides best in class

    treatment at one tenth of the cost incurred in the United States of America.

    Increased demand of Health Insurance

    There is a limited exposure of health care insurance in India however; an increased

    awareness level among the people about its need has increased the demand. According to

    Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) the insurance premium received

    over the period of 2006 to 2010 has shown a CAGR of 39%.

    Government Initiatives: Still Insufficient

    The five year plan adopted an inclusive approach towards health care which includes

    equitable and comprehensive individual health care, improved sanitation, clean drinking

    water, nutritious food, hygiene, good feeding practices and development of delivery systems

    responsive to the needs of people. Some of the main goals set by the five year plan are given

    below

    Reducing Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) to 28 per 1000 live births.

    Reducing Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) to one per 1000 live births.

    Reducing Total Fertility Rate (TFR) to 2.1.

    Reducing malnutrition among children of age group 03 to half its present level.

    Reducing anaemia among women and girls by 50 per cent.

    Raising the sex ratio for age group 06 to 935 by 201112 and 950 by 201617.

  • A STUDY ON EMERGING TREND IN HEALTHCARE SECTOR 16

    Providing clean drinking water for all by 2009 and ensuring no slip-backs.

    An analysis of 11th five year plan depicts that although there is a significant progress made

    in the area of MMR, IMR and TFR, however, the improvement in child sex ratio is not good

    enough. MMR which calculates the number of deaths caused due to maternity reduced by

    5.8%, IMR which calculate the number of deaths of infant per thousand live births fell by

    5%. Similarly, TFR which calculates the number of children born to a woman during her

    entire reproductive period fell by 2.8%. However, the same cannot be said in the case of

    child sex ratio. Most of the states except a few showed a decline in child sex ratio.

    Looking at the current 11th five year plan the Planning Commission of India has increased

    the expenditure on healthcare by three folds in the 12th five year plan. The total allocation of

    funds stands at USD 55 billion under the plan, as a result the share of healthcare allocation to

    total plan allocation increased to 2.5% of the GDP as against 1% during the current plan. The

    12th five year plan will look for a greater public-private partnership in the sector and will

    focus on providing a sound regulatory environment, promote research and development

    initiatives, improve infrastructural facility and provision of a universal healthcare.

    HEALTHCARE FIGHTS FOR MINDSHARE, MARKETSHARE & MARGINS

    Healthcare leaders embrace three trends: retail healthcare, the convergence of care

    management and customer service, and a new focus on compliance and operational

    excellence. As the velocity of change in healthcare continues to accelerate, we are seeing

    three big trends emerging: healthcare retail transformation, the convergence of care

    management and customer service, and compliance and operational excellence.

    Healthcare retail transformation

    For many moons, the health insurance model in the US was almost pure business-to-business

    (B2B). Health plans sold their programs directly to employers, and the human resources

    departments within those employers served as the ambassadors of plan benefits for the

    employees. Now, the industry model is quickly transitioning from B2B to B2C (business-to-

    consumer). That's adding increased levels of operational complexity.

    "Retail" means dealing with all the HealthCare.gov implications, an aging population, new

    consumer demands for multi-channel retail experiences, and so on. In response, health plans

    are investing time, effort, and money to explore ways to better educate their current and

    potential members on their offerings, on a much larger scale. Operating in a B2C

    environment has opened health plans to a customer base that includes the traditional B2B

    clientele, but also individual consumers, each with his or her own specific circumstances and

    needs. As a result, some health plans are creating new content, opening retail storefronts,

    launching awareness campaigns, and implementing numerous other initiatives to create retail

  • A STUDY ON EMERGING TREND IN HEALTHCARE SECTOR 18

    engagement -- all with mixed results. It's truly radical change, an incredibly disruptive

    challenge, but it is also a phenomenal opportunity.

    In the midst of all this turmoil, we see innovative healthcare organizations really gaining

    traction. The organizations taking control are doing so by focusing on the customer

    experience and creating unique, customized, member-centric initiatives that deliver efficient

    and highly automated interactions to make the product explanation and management, sales,

    enrolment, and on-boarding of the member easy, convenient, and seamless. These types of

    integrated programs, with the correct application of technology, are catching the attention of

    member populations and driving the kind of customer loyalty previously reserved for

    consumer brands. This kind of stickiness can only be good for reducing costs and creating the

    kind of collaborative healthcare that can drive up the quality of health while driving down

    costs.

    Customer service and care management

    To me, care management is the cornerstone of healthcare transformation. It is the intersection

    of clinical care and customer care, and a properly designed and managed care management

    program simultaneously reduces clinical and administrative costs, improves health outcomes,

    and creates loyal members. How awesome is that? To that point, it's exciting to see that many

    leading healthcare organizations are recognizing that care management is, indeed, a real

    sweet spot for the true "value-added" aspects of engaging with their members. Fully

    integrated disease, case, utilization, and wellness programs on a unified platform that is also

    connected to the customer service system offer a truly seamless and meaningful experience

    for members.

  • A STUDY ON EMERGING TREND IN HEALTHCARE SECTOR 19

    Care managers engaging members (and providers) are the supreme ambassadors of "MY"

    health plan. Every interaction they have is a "moment of truth" that creates a lasting

    impression of how well the health plan is treating them. Care teams help members with a

    wide variety of needs to manage their care plans, select services and providers, figure the

    cost implications of different choices, and even deal with appointments and prescription refill

    reminders. They are often the central point for optimizing the collaboration among the plan,

    the members, and the providers. Training care managers in customer service, not just clinical

    service, and fusing the two together on a deployable platform, offers incredible opportunities

    for innovation, happy members, and great outcomes.

    Compliance and operational excellence

    The quest for operational excellence has long been a focus for healthcare organizations

    seeking to maximize productivity while simultaneously reducing costs. With the new

    Medical Loss Ratio rules, this has become an even more urgent initiative. It is really

    interesting how "compliance" has become such a dominating force as well, and is now a key

    metric in almost every department's operational excellence report card.

    Healthcare reform has created new legislation and new transparency where compliance

    performance can quickly translate into everything from jaw-dropping penalties (bad) to

    demonstrating great quality scores (very positive). These two examples can have significant

    impacts on the top and bottom lines. For example, the halo effect of great quality scores

    (especially in the B2C model) often results in better member retention and even revenue

    premiums, whereas costly penalties are well, costly.

  • A STUDY ON EMERGING TREND IN HEALTHCARE SECTOR 20

    What can a healthcare organization do to optimize operational excellence and improve

    compliance? Knowing the requirements is key, but having the processes, systems, and

    workflows that expose and dynamically track the activities as they relate to the specific

    measures at all times ensures that complex requirements are being consistently followed. Just

    as important, when a requirement (like a service level agreement) is in jeopardy of being

    missed, an automated alert system escalates the issue to a supervisor or manager to address

    and correct the issue before it becomes a compliance problem. Organizations need to have a

    nimble system that can be quickly modified, tested, and re-deployed to keep ahead of rapidly

    changing state and federal regulations. Often, the challenge includes multiple state

    regulations changing simultaneously. This "speed-to-value" is proving to be the critical path

    for winning in this new post-reform economy. Compliance, adherence, and agility are critical

    aspects of today's healthcare solutions.

    In all the excitement and confusion that the market is experiencing, we see several great

    opportunities emerging where, with the proper focus, healthcare organizations can establish

    their leadership while improving both the customer experience and their company's

    performance.

    HEALTH CITIES: THE EVOLVING CONCEPT OF HEALTHCARE IN INDIA

    Major corporate hospital groups in India are making significant investments in

    setting up state-of-the-art Health Cities in major Indian cities. Around 15-20 Health Cities

    are expected to come up in India in the next 5 years. Health Cities are looking at catering to

    larger populations by offering facilities such as hotels, residential facilities, and recreational

    facilities of spa, gym and even golf courses. Greater emphasis is on education, research and

    development.
