If Govt. institutions are trusted well and Drs attending take as good care as they would as in their own private place, there are huge funding by Govt. But people are scared since most have bad experience of negligence and poor care.

I agree with this idea..if govt.hospitals improve their quality standards in terms of hygiene, human relations, etc..then these hospitals will attract good number of patients.Also govt. has enough funds from various sources to bring up the quality standards. Also govt.hospitals has more expensive devices but in terms of technical expertise govt.hospitals lack this.
Not just cheaper, Govt. hospitals are having expensive & modern equipment most private can not own. Also, even if they own, they will try to recover the costs within shortest time by extracting more from patients/insurance companies...
I support this idea. A PPP model may be designed for the purpose this would keep costs to the minimum and would quality treatment and service delivery.

I will give an example for this.Heart failure is the leading cause of hospitalization among
Medicare patients. Approximately 20 percent of heart failure patients
are readmitted within 30 days of hospital discharge and half are
readmitted within a year. But if these patients were given information
on self-care, and if their conditions and medications were properly
monitored, between one-quarter and one-half of these re-admissions could
be prevented.

Give discount directly to the patient's instead of doctor's cuts, after recovery patient is happy from treatment & hospital bills & Patient is the Advertising person for that institute/Hospital for best quality services as well as specially happiness about discount rate.

The Government Authorities hsould relook at the norms of seetuing up Healthcare facilities iwthin India, As illetrate entrepreneur (?) can also setup a Hospital by availing a Shop License Certification. Also the location for setting up Secondary & Tertiary Care facilities should be allocated with utmost precaution & consideration. The Govt should have a Law binding and limiting the setting up of only one facility within the radius of 10 kms in metros and villages and get a sign-off for the CSR for undertaking a parallal outreach programme in remote areas. Adjacency in the same areas leads to cut throat malpractises and initiatives to operationally Break even thru Investor presssure and lastly its a wate of Resources as Investments are duplicated and the size of the Pie is not commensurate to justify the same. This regulation will necessarily justify accessibility and cost efffective Medical care to the end-users and alos ACrrediation norms should be made mandatory. WIth this framework by & large every unit will be on a level playing field and then Cost Leadership can be looked into with a more meaningful comparable cost stuctures. The trick is to define a frwamewrok for garenring the critical mass - its just the silly volumnes whcih will drastically bring down the per capita cost of medication, not withstanding the internal Cost controls and effectiveness in Materials & Headcount. Cheers ! Santosh

The cost is relative to supply and demand. With choking the output of doctors enrolling in UG and PG courses in the guise of Quality is the root cause for high costs in India. Time has come to get into mission mode to create one medical college in each district across India. |

Till the date, hospitals has been like family hospital. If the hospitals actually work out the things and make more professional, then it would be easy. Eg: Going for the Quality Control Implementations, use quality material which at the end saves cost.

I think educating patients and including them in health care decisions can
reduce overuse of medical treatments. Systematically informing patients about risks and
benefits of different treatments, such as surgery versus medical
management, should be a condition for approval of procedures such as
prostate surgery, spinal fusion surgery, bariatric surgery, treatment
of gastric esophageal reflux, and end-of-life care. This could be done
through patients and doctors' use of medical decision-making tools.

Inform to patient for each & every procedure with costing, Only necessary tests are carried out, avoid the impure or cheap quality drugs/medicines which affects on recovery of patient.

Today developed economies like UK Canada have successful healthcare model involving government as its financier and private healthcare delivery as its provider (some cases govt too is a provider). The healthcare costs are dependent on the collective purchasing power of the consumer here the government. Besides bringing in accreditation and standardization of treatment protocols help reduce the healthcare cost burden beside stricter billing scrutiny and emphasis of preventive healthcare.

in govt sector most of the medicines comes through rate contact in which lowest rates quoted are approved and majority of the drugs approved by newly coming or local companies whose products never of the international standerard and due to this not only the reputation of doctor go astrayed but patient also suffer both in the term of money and health and also it can cause resistance of medicines.
