Healthcare Marketing

Description
Group practice and to suggest a sustainable & scalable business plan along with marketing plan for Group practice setting. A Healthcare provider institution requires a balancing act. Provider institutions must balance pressures from the supply side (demographics, pattern of diseases, public expectations), the supply side (technology/clinical knowledge & work force) and the wider societal level (globalization, financial pressures). This leaves many of the providers wondering how to react. In a country like India which has largely Private healthcare provision, individual practitioners constitute an important part of the healthcare delivery.

SCMHRD

I made a distinct choice of pursuing a career involving Healthcare and Health policy, and I have not regretted it since. During the course of MBA I have been lucky enough to work on a couple of projects involving healthcare functionality and to study all marketing subjects with Healthcare marketing point of view. At the first instance I would like to express my gratitude to Prof. Prathima Sheorey COE Marketing, for her inspiration and insights into the interesting subject of marketing. Her teaching made us realize the genius that goes into every research and how academics lay foundation of strong business sense. My heartfelt thanks to her, for giving us the freedom to decide our fie ld of interest for carrying out the winter project I would also thank Ms Anita Gupta Asst. Prof marketing for her timely guidance, for her kind co operation and for being always approachable. My research would be incomplete if it was not for the doctors who spared their time from busy schedules to have a discussion with me and give me certain wonderful insights. The patients and the hospital staff with whom I interacted have definitely helped me look at all the angles of stakeholder perspective And last but not the least I would like to acknowledge the intelligent tools SPSS and Microsoft Excel which helped me analyze the research in a better way. This being the last project at MBA, I am happy for I am looking towards the future and it is bright. So in the words of Calvin and Hobbes, I’d like to close by saying ?It’s a magical world.. its full of smiles!?

COE Marketing EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

SCMHRD

A Healthcare provider institution requires a balancing act. Provider institutions must balance pressures from the supply side (demographics, pattern of diseases, public expectations), the supply side (technology/clinical knowledge & work force) and the wider societal level (globalization, financial pressures). This leaves many of the providers wondering how to react. In a country like India which has largely Private healthcare provision, individual practitioners constitute an important part of the healthcare delivery. Private practitioners function independently and deal with all these pressures on their own not being able to cope with all of them at the same time, also independent functioning is not cost effective at most times and hence there is gradual d eterioration in the delivery standards, consequently the payer and the patient suffer due to poor delivery of services. The concept of Hospitals and clinics has taken place in the past two centuries and has been majorly driven by technology. But unfortunately in India most of the Healthcare delivery development has taken place with little focus on value creation and very little thought has gone into the development of service line strategies. In this research I have tried to establish what possibilities for change exist for the current day Indian private practitioner. Literature review has been done and discussion and interviews have been conducted with doctors with the underlying question of all this was ?will the individual clinic based model change, and will it progress to a sustainable Group practice model?? The Business model structure value proposition, market segment, strategic position, value chain, competitive strategy and cost structure/revenue potential provided the framework for identifying various key factors which were used in the creation of Strategy canvas variables. Also the model has been kept in mind to identify its applicability as a relevant theory to build various strategies for Group Practice. The interviews were conducted on MBBS and MD doctors of Pune. The outcomes of interview have been to identify the satisfiers/dissatisfiers with current form of private practice, Patient load of various doctors, Referral and diagnostic referral practices of specialists.

Land and equipment cost were identified as the major criteria for consideration of new practice set up. These findings helped identify the importance of cost sharing and enhanced technology deployment at group practice. The notion of value is at the core of a business model: Value as Input and Value as Output. The current problem of healthcare delivery is aptly summed by Porter & Teisberg (2006) 19 as a zero sum competition; no value is created, competition is about shifting costs. Keeping these points of strategic decision making along with the target consumer’s needs a comprehensive business plan for a sustainable and scalable model of group practice setting has been created. The group practice setting has been named SATORI. Vision and mission of practice setting have been decided. Platform setting includes making nurses and doctors as our core strength and then extending to partnerships with Medical tourism agencies, advanced medical centers and insurance companies. The practice setting will be functional in two phases. The Polyclinic will start with initially 4 specialties: Pediatrics, Cardiology, Endocrinology and Urology. In first phase Addition of Cosmetology- Dermatology, Orthopedics and Gastroenterology followed by subsequent development of surgical facilities and addition of indoor beds will take place in the second phase. Marketing and communication objectives defined, SATORI will carry out marketing through a combination of: ? ? ? ? ? ? PR & publicity Within facility promotion Campaigns Tie Ups Advertisements CSR & community initiatives

Evaluation parameters have to be decided for the judgment of marketing campaigns.

COE Marketing SECONDARY RESEARCH/ LITERATURE REVIEW

SCMHRD

Modern medical care has become a complex service requiring the coordinated efforts of many physicians and other auxiliary talents. According to Havlicek PL,A medical group is defined as three or more physicians formally organized as a legal entity in which business, clinical and administrative facilities are shared 1 Many benefits have been stated in favor of group practice to improve quality, efficiency, physician life style and income. Evolution of Group practice: It was evident that they improved the quality of health care, decreased costs and provide a professionally desirable working environment for medical practitioners. Medical care has become increasingly complex and expensive. Awareness of medical errors has grown and the possibility for using organized processes to improve quality has been well studied. In this context, the role of group practice seems more relevant today. Moser M tells that, Large multispecialty groups like the Mayo clinic, Palo Alto Medical Clinic, Scripps Clinic and Permanente Medical group were formed following the report of the Chicago co mmittee in 1932 in the US 2 Pros & cons of Group Practice: Cited advantages of group practice include potential to increase physicians’ leverage with negotiating health plans, operational efficiency, improve quality and containing medical care costs. A prospective Community Tracking Study done by Casalino et al3 among physician groups, health planners and hospital administrators identified six important benefits and seven barriers Leverage with health plans and negotiating with health insurance schemes are useful indicators of group practice and were identified as the most frequently cited benefits in this study. As per Singh JC, It was also observed that gaining leverage with hospitals was the most frequently cited benefit. Improvement in the quality of life of the specialists, including lesser duties and more vacations was the other advantage. 4 Distribution of surplus money may be a contentious area. If the bonuses are not properly accounted for, it might result in judicial interference.

SCMHRD

Modern group practice involves a large number of people acting in different roles towards the achievement of a high standard of primary medical care. As well as medical, nursing, social and administrative roles it is essential to realize that all the families whose personal and corporate health are embodied within the practice are themselves an integral part of the organization and that operational considerations must include the patient group as a functioning and dynamic integer of the whole organization. 5 There is no doubt in any doctor's mind about his responsibility for these functions in the management of the illness situation. On the other hand, in the wider context of the management of the organization there are certain deterrents which prevent doctors from accepting their contribution. The traditional hierarchy of authority in general practice. The existence of a polarity in general practitioner attitudes and role perceptions was observed but not quantified by Fry and McKenzie
6

Line and staff relationships at the hospital level: The classic study of Isabel Menzies2 on the factors underlying wastage among nursing trainees in a large general hospital began a fundamental re-examination of the training and role of the nurse which is still evolving. 7 This report argues cogently for the need for management training for nurses at three levels of responsibility The management of people: The observations of Fry and McKenzie now become extremely important. The sociological role of the general practitioner can be at least partly described by attributing to him a 'maturation' function in respect of the families and individuals in his care. HEALTHCARE SETUP IN INDIA: ? ? ? ? Total healthcare expenditure is about 6% of GDP of which private expenditure is >75% about 2/3 rd of this expenditure is to meet the primary level treatment. 8 Bhatt RR researched that, Private healthcare expenditure has increased in India at the rate of 12.5% p.a since the year 1960-61 9 80% of qualified Allopathic doctors are working in private setups 10 In order to strengthen the private sector it is important to identify the areas of intervention to make it more responsive to problems of its growth.

The most dominant system of payment in India is the fee-for–service. According to Bhat RR in 1999 11 70% of the providers charge on a fee-for-service basis

According to Technopak Healthcare outlook report 2007 the drivers of growth in Indian healthcare are: ? ? ? ? ? Better Health Insurance penetration Newer Treatments Lifestyle Diseases - Obesity, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Rising Income Levels Population of 1.2 billion by 2015

Health insurance: Less than 10% of India’s population has some form of health insurance cover 13 The sector is projected to grow to US$ 5.75 billion by 2010, according to a study by the New Delhi-based PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry A growing number of hospitals in India are turning to accreditation agencies worldwide to both standardize their protocols and project their international quality of health care delivery. The health infrastructure across Indian states is projected to grow by an average of 5.8 percent per annum between 2009-2013, taking the total expenditure in 2013 to USD 14.2 billion In comparison to all 32 states, Maharashtra forecasted to maintain its dominance as the state with highest cumulative healthcare infrastructure expenditure, with spend of $ 7.3 billion between 2009 - 201cture challenges and opportunities

COE Marketing RESEARCH APPROACH: Study Methods:

SCMHRD

For Primary research: 33 doctors practicing in Pune city were approached for interview. A sample of 70 doctors was selected using random selection from a list of doctors available with the registrar of medical education at BJ Medical college. 4 doctors were found to have stopped practicing at the mentioned address. A total of 21 doctors were finally interviewed in out of the 53 responsive doctors. These doctors included MBBS and MD doctors. The two pronged approach of questionnaire and Interview was used so as to obtain certain qualitative information on various aspects. The findings presented in Primary research are the responses to questionnaire however the insights provided during interview have been extremely helpful. Many views were subjective in nature and attempt was made to corroborate responses. However the findings are subject to non-response bias and subjective assessment, a limitation that is common to all such studies. Exploratory Research: Exploratory research was done through open ended questionnaire & focused group discussion. The parameters and variables obtained from exploratory research were converted into questions which were used for Primary Research. Estimated Value of Information: The value of information obtained from this exercise is suited for academic as well as business point of view. Considering the changes in Indian healthcare set up Group Practice offers a lot both in terms of Health policy related academics as well as business opportunity. Data collection method: Secondary data was collected from Journal research and web search. The library services of PGIMER (post graduate Institute of medical education and research Chandigarh) were utilised for journal referencing. The knowledge obtained from this data as well as discussion with Doctors during exploratory research was converted into a questionnaire. The questionnaire was

Questionnaire Design: Structured Direct Personal questionnaires have been used to procure data from the Sample Attitude measurement scale: The following aids have been used for the data collection process: ? ? ? 5 point Likert Scale Open ended questions Multiple choice question

Sampling Process: ? ? Sample consisted of those physicians who are running Private practice The sample unit consists of people from Pune city

Stratified, convenience sampling has been used for the research. Research carried out to determine the various inputs for business plan: Observational research at important hospitals and personal interview of Health Administrators/supply managers of major hospitals in Pune Data reduction and Analysis techniques used: Business Model Approach Business model is a comprehensive approach to building strategy. It is a ?conceptual tool that contains a set of elements and their relationships and allows expression of the business logic of a specific firm? (Osterwalder, Pigneur, & Tucci, 2005) 14 .The key concepts of what a business model is all evolves around value: value creation, value realization and value appropriation How do we define value creation for hospitals in a way that informs future strategic planning? This research focuses on building a value-creating strategy for hospitals in a comprehensive and coherent way. Using strategy as a model, gives heads and tails to the

Average Score 4.26 4.2 2.69 2.84 1.86

The biggest factor affecting the establishment of a new private practice set up is location followed by investment in technology and equipment. Thus if doctors are offered infrastructure facilities under one roof and also provided latest equipment and technology it will be a big motivator for them to join a group practice, it would lead to sharing of costs, better technology and consequently better services to the patient. The advantages as per discussion with doctors, for the two biggest interest groups would be:

Most important point that came out of discussion with doctors is Ancillary income, the group must get at least 30% of its income from ancillary service, it becomes difficult to sustain it as a group in absence of this income from ancillary services as specialists will find it advantageous to function independently

COE Marketing Limitations of the study and proposal:

SCMHRD

1. Respondents selected from amongst the private practitioners of Pune do not represent the actual market situation with respect to consumer segments, usage and perception about Healthcare brands within each segment attributes of importance, decision influencing factors, service evaluating attributes etc. 2. Apart from the various expenses considered for the financial planning there might be certain other unforeseen expenses which might exceed the miscellaneous expenses 3. Assumption has been made that an administrative model which is under the control of management shall be acceptable to doctors, this has been done to minimize the effects of physician leadership problems 4. The pricing of equipment and the remuneration to paramedical staff has been done keeping in mind the industry trends which might change at the time of implementation 5. The year on year increase in revenue has been forecasted keeping in mind favourable response to marketing campaigns and in sync with market growth rate 6. Since currently there are no operations of this kinds, the assumptions have been made keeping in mind the clinic and hospital model, certain situations peculiar to Group practice may arise which may call for a relook at strategy 7. The strategy canvas tool which has been used here, is assumed will be helpful for future strategy formulation as well and also to compare the competitors

COE Marketing Conclusions and Implications of study and proposal:

SCMHRD

Though it has been undertaken as a academic project. This project bears importance both for the Health policy related academia and business idea in healthcare. The initial part of the project has analysed the Group practice as a concept, reviewing the existing literature in light of current healthcare scenario in India. The later part of project has implemented the understanding obtained through the analysis of literature and primary research into a feasible and sustainable business plan. The important implications of the study are: The Indian healthcare scenario is changing and the rising healthcare costs both for the patient and provider make it imperative to figure a cost efficient and technology employing method for providing healthcare support to patients In the initial setting up of practice land and equipment pose a major challenge, hence initial focus should be laid upon the Medical/non surgical facilities Ancillary services development shall be a major concern area for any Group facility development The business model of any healthcare agency should be focused at Value creation Understanding for the business model of any healthcare agency should arise at the customer level
