With only one hospital in the northeast meeting the norms laid down by the National
Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH), a
huge gap has been revealed in quality health management in the region.
Bridging this gap is one of the many challenges faced by health service providers in the northeast.
Obstacles in generating an effective health service machinery stem from a lack of awareness about quality management among both government and private players in the health sector.
Bridging this gap is one of the many challenges faced by health service providers in the northeast.
Obstacles in generating an effective health service machinery stem from a lack of awareness about quality management among both government and private players in the health sector.
A conference on the theme 'Quality: A Tool to Enhance and Sustain
Patient Experience' will be held next month with the support of NABH to
generate awareness about quality assurance in health services.
"The conference will aim to overcome the challenges in managing both government and private hospitals. The health service sector here needs proper guidelines. People running the health institutes do not know what steps have to be taken," said Jyoti Rama Das, managing partner, Integra Ventures, a city-based health consultancy firm.
NABH was set up to provide accreditation to healthcare organizations in the country. At present, only 250 hospitals in the country have received NABH accreditation, a constituent board of quality council of India. The board addresses the needs of consumers and sets benchmarks for the health industry in the country.
Many feel the standards and benchmarks laid down by NABH are deemed too strict and standardized to be followed.
The need of the hour is to improvise quality management in new and existing hospitals in the region. Accessibility and affordability of healthcare are some of the factors to be looked into in the region, feel those involved in healthcare.
