Dr.M.Mariappan Chairperson, Center for Hospital Management School of Health Systems Studies Why Recruit at TISS School of Health Systems Studies 2013 - 2015 18 TATA INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES IT & CONSULTANCY State Health Systems Resource Centres Introduction MASTER OF HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION Hospitals and healthcare facility providers as we see them today; are becoming some of the most complex and fluid organizations to manage in the times to come. This was a challenge, foreseen early by the faculty at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, who were thus among the pioneers in instituting a full- fledged Masters in Hospital Administration in 1993 which to date remains one of the most coveted training programs this sector has seen. In the increasingly competitive arena of healthcare management education, the TISS strives to maintain its tradition of academic excellence whilst simultaneously working to radically transform its academic culture and spirit as is captured in its tryst towards “Re- imagining Futures”. Innovative and dynamic classroom teaching along with challenge based learning during the Internships puts hospital administration program at par with International teaching standards. This is what shapes one of the finest professionals of the country, striving to serve and lead the hospital and healthcare industry. The basis underlying the course framework is the fundamental understanding of hospitals as socially, structurally, technologically and financially sensitive organizations employing a myriad mix of some of the most skilled and semi-skilled human resource. Along with a strong emphasis on their theoretical base, students are tested for their conceptual clarity through class presentations, case studies and group tasks simulating decision making in the hospital environment. Keeping in with the pace of the industry, the course content is continuously reviewed and revised to keep abreast of necessary developments whether it is Hospital management information systems, Health insurance or Business development strategies for hospitals. With that, the students would undergo six months of arduous internships across some of the best hospitals in the country and simultaneously undertake individual projects addressing some of the relevant concerns or advancements in healthcare. School of Health Systems Studies 2013 - 2015 20 Internships “What the mind does not know, the eyes do not see”… Keeping this very maxim in mind, the sequence of theory subjects and internships has been framed to ensure that students know exactly what they are expected to learn and apply during each of the three, eight-week long internships that they would be credited for in the course of their degree. After studying key fundamental subjects like Health Economics and Finance, Hospital Planning, Administration of Clinical and Support services & Materials management, at the end of their second semester students are posted in their first internship at major public hospitals in Mumbai like King Edward Memorial (KEM) Hospital, BYL Nair Hospital, Sion Hospital, Tata Memorial Hospital, MGM Vashi, BARC Hospital, Holy Family Hospital, Cooper Hospital, Prince Aly Khan Hospital and D Y Patil Hospital to name a few. Students would understand the hospital as a system and take up four clinical and support departments each for detailed analysis and report preparation. Additionally the students also take up case studies / assignments in concurrence with hospital authorities, thereby making meaningful contribution. By the end of their third semester, they cover Operations research, Strategic management in Healthcare settings, Legal framework for hospitals Quality management and Medical technology management before they start their second internship in large & renowned trust hospitals across the country like CMC Vellore, Sir Gangaram Hospital, P. D. Hinduja, Breachcandy, KokilabenDhirubhaiAmbani Hospital, Ruby Hall, Aditya Birla Hospital etc. This time, the students undertake three case studies in various areas of operations, Gap analysis for accreditation, patient satisfaction levels, turnaround time for reports, inventory control systems, etc. with practical recommendations that can be implemented. After covering, Health Insurance, Systems Development & Information Resource Management, Marketing and Business Development Strategies in last semester, the third internship places students in some of the largest healthcare corporations in the country like the Apollo Group of Hospitals, the Fortis Group, the Max Group, Manipal Group of Hospitals, Aster DM etc. In this posting they undertake specific micro-level assessment like modules for staff training, feasibility and marketing plans for new service or hospitals, working on actual HMIS databases and process reengineering for departments. Before students embark on their professional journey, they serve uncompensated in their choice of healthcare organizations like charitable hospitals, NGOs, consultancies, healthcare IT or insurance companies for a whole month rendering their knowledge and skills as they would in the organizations they would soon join. “Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.” – Stephen Covey Tata Institute of Social Sciences 21 Research projects at the Master's level offer students the opportunity to plan and conduct original investigation in an area of study with the guidance of faculty members of the Institute as well as experts from the industry. Each student is expected to take up an area of choice that he/she would work on for two years under the guidance of both school faculty as well as industry experts to produce a report that is credited at the end of the course. It is referred to as a 'Research Project' as the student is preferably expected to maintain a practical approach with scientific research base towards the topic. The research project is an attempt to enable the student either to explore &analyze a new trend in healthcare or to work on specific area affecting hospital functioning on a professional basis after completion of the degree. After defining study objectives, the project involves relevant and actual data collection from hospitals that further enhances the field exposure for the students.

Since then it has been the best in its efforts towards transforming the candidates into the finest health managers. Over the years, the course curriculum has been reinvented and structured to meet the demands of the dynamic healthcare sector, both public and private. The course curriculum has a shade of social science along with the foundations of management, which makes it unique, and thus the students are conditioned to be better management personnel with a sense of social responsibility. This blend comes from the core management based courses like Principles of Management, Strategic Health care Management, Operations Research, Financial Management along with very sensitive courses like Social Science Perspectives on Health, Research Methodology, etc. Thus, the artefact of these academic courses is what we bring to the healthcare sector with our ingress. The course also orients the students on macro issues relevant to health policy and programme planning in the country. The teaching is beyond the four walls of the campus and the faculties are enthusiastic to impart the best knowledge to the students in various innovative ways adopted by them, like field visits, classroom exercises based on the topics of practical application which helps students progress better. The two-year intensive program is designed to develop a cadre of professionals competent enough to take up key managerial and research positions in the National Health Programmes, the NGO sector, CSR, Healthcare Consultancies, Health Insurance Firms, Healthcare IT Companies, Research Organizations, Community based Health Programmes, Pharmaceutical and Medical Instrumentation Companies by building their capacities in planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluation of programmes. We have been successful in attracting the titans of the health sector like WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, NHSRC, SHRC, NRHM, NACO, PATH, CARE, Aga Khan Health Services, ICICI, Infosys, PWC, Reliance Foundation, Johnson & Johnson and Azim Premji Foundation for our recruitments in the past & have been successful in making it up to their expectations. Tata Institute of Social Sciences 39 INTERNSHIP TISS believes that translation of theory into practice is the actual purpose of knowledge. Nurtured with the same idea, internships not only expose the students to the intricacies of healthcare sector but also provide them with professional competencies in terms of conceptualization and implementation. Internships have been therefore assigned maximum credits in the Programme. Meticulously designed three rounds of internships give them a hands-on experience of various aspects of National Health Programmes, the NGO sector, various Community Health Programmes, a firsthand exposure to government public health system, with a chance to apply the knowledge and skills they have gained from their academic experiences. Nevertheless, it enhances communication skills by working with diverse populations across India. Selected students get global exposure through the Global Public Health Programme of School of Rural Public Health (SRPH), Texas A & M University (McAllen Campus), USA under collaboration of TISS and A & M University Texas. As a part of internships, students are posted at various renowned organizations like ALERT India LEPRA CARE Help Age India AAROHI Aga Khan Health Services Smile Foundation Child in Need Institute (CINI) SATHI-CEHAT SEWA SEARCH Voluntary Health Association of India CMC-RUHSA SNEHA Institute of Health Management Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai Public Health Department of government of Maharashtra etc. School of Health Systems Studies 2013 - 2015 2 School of Health Systems Studies 2013 - 2015 40 l and worked on Health Management Information Systems. They have a firsthand experience of health planning with emphasis on human resource, materials and strategic management. l The structure and functioning of the Rural Health Service System is studied from the district level and below. l Block internship gives an opportunity to the students to work with sectors like Healthcare IT, Health Insurance, CSR Health, Pharmaceutical Industry and Healthcare Consultancies. As a part of the internship with rural NGOs, the students have studied the organization profiles RESEARCH Research is a mandatory component of the Programme in Master of Health Administration. This by far has been one of the best learning the students have received from the Institute. The guidance by the faculty members along with their motivation has proved to be invaluable to the extent of even having students publishing their research papers in renowned journals. Exposure of doing research has helped the students to gauge closely the interconnections between the actual health care practice and the underlying theories in the field of health HIGHLIGHTS OF INTERNSHIP Close monitoring and supervision at the internship site by faculty. l Organizations selected for internship are best in the field of healthcare. These organizations have tremendously innovated models of healthcare some of which have translated into policies. l As a part of the internship with urban NGOs, the students have studied the organization profiles, program development, implementation and monitoring using logical framework analysis and the process by which the community is engaged using PRA technique. l Additionally, the government Health Service System (Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai) was studied with respect to its organizational structure at the higher level with special emphasis on the functioning of Urban Health Post (UHP) and the primary health care delivery mechanism of urban areas. “Whatever the mind of an individual can conceive and believe, it can achieve – Napoleon Hill Tata Institute of Social Sciences 41 l School of Health Systems Studies 2013 - 2015 School of Health Systems Studies 2013 - 2015 Mr. Aamod Utpal 24 years Qualification: B.

In wake of the public health problems being faced by the country in the social, cultural and economic context, there is an increased need to emphasize on social epidemiology. The Masters of Public health at TISS caters to the need for trained human power and helps in the building and maintenance of public health with a special focus on Social Epidemiology. This programme explores elaborately the link between the social determinants and health of the population along with strong methodological and technical foundation in epidemiology, biostatistics, quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis and national and international public health policies. The students are also given courses on health finance, public health management and health communication so as to be equipped to handle multifaceted roles. This programme is covered over the span of four semesters, with emphasis given to research related courses and development of public health paradigms. The eclectic mix of students from various educational backgrounds and work experiences adds new perspectives and knowledge on various issues pertaining to public health. Polished by excellent faculty in knowledge and skills to handle all aspects of national and international public health issues, and further honed in community interaction and research skills by multiple internships, the course ordains students to shine bright in the public health scene, be it rural or urban, national or global. Alumni of the course are placed and doing exceptionally well in a variety of fields and situations such as national and state level government health programmes, surveillance, monitoring and evaluation organisations and programmes,health advocacy groups, NGOs, CSR, healthcare consultancies, health insurance firms, healthcare IT companies, research organisations, community based health programmes, pharmaceutical and medical instrumentation companies. As epidemiologists, students develop the capability to weigh, balance, contrast and implement, and over the years, TISS has spawned a generation of superlative public health professionals. School of Health Systems Studies 2013 - 2015 56 INTERNSHIP The MPH course consists of 3 internships, one each at the end of second, third and fourth semester. Each internship duration is of eight weeks. The first internship primarily focuses on the urban slums of Mumbai. It is designed to give important insight into the prevailing health issues of urban slums through socio- demographic profiling of the community. Individual, quantitative studies are carried out on population sub-groups residing in the community for elaborate understanding. Detailed analysis of several factors such as, socioeconomic status, health status, morbidity pattern, utilization of health care services and expenditure for healthcare are undertaken. Internships also have a dimension of global exposure with selected students getting an exclusive opportunity to attend international summer internships at University of Minnesota and A & M University Texas, USA.

Hospital Research Centre, Pune, Maharashtra MKS Hospital, Vadodra, Gujarat The final block internship towards the end of the curriculum entails every student to work in any healthcare organization of their choice, without any compensation, for a period of 1 month. This internship reiterates the ethos of the institute that is ingrained in each student – service to the society. Though the students have been well placed before the period of this internship, they contribute their theoretical & practical skills to the organization. DISSERTATION Research being the core of public health, the entire last semester is dedicated to the dissertation, a process which commences early in the first semester. Each student is expected to work on a current and challenging topic. These studies are carried out under the guidance of a designated faculty member. The dissertation is duly reviewed at each step by the faculty – right from the presentation of the proposal to data collection and to the actual analysis. The studies are qualitative, quantitative or a mix of both the types. A wide range of health problems ranging from communicable diseases, non- communicable diseases, reproductive health, geriatrics to women's health issues are covered. The student applies theoretical knowledge combined with ground level practical experiences to the selected issue to come up with remarkable results. The data collection, analysis and application help apply the concept in the field. Students are trained to be proficient in computer programs such as SPSS, STATA and Atlas ti. Published research carves out a niche for MPH at SHSS, which is known for its research excellence.

Such an approach needs a problem solving mindset which takes into consideration all the social, economic, political and financial challenges. Meeting all these challenges requires personnel with an expertise in critical analysis of issues within current health policy who can generate evidence base for influencing policy changes and advocate new policy decisions based on an analysis of current socio economic, political and financial situation of the country. The Master of Public Health (MPH) in Health Policy, Economics and Finance, developed by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences in collaboration with the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), has been designed with a global focus to create a cohort of well trained public health professionals with a critical perspective on policy makingand an inter sectoral approach towards policy making and analysis. The programme, which stretches over a period of two years, offers a perfect blend of both descriptive and analytical courses. The first two semesters are dedicated to extensive class room training which includes lectures, seminars, debates and discussions on different aspects and perspectives on the health system and how each impacts the nature of policies.
