Max Healthcare
Setting the Standard Star facilities and bleeding-edge technology are the Max Hospital Mantra
A
massive boom in private hospitals has changed the nation’s health delivery landscape beyond recognition in the last decade. And Max Healthcare with the mantra of star facilities and bleeding-edge technology is writing a new chapter in India’s healthcare services. Max Healthcare commenced operations in 2001. Currently, it has six hospitals and two diagnostic centres, which are all located in the national capital region, comprising of over 1,000 beds, 225 ICU beds, 3,000 support staff and most advanced technologies. It is currently in the process of building four new hospitals at Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi; Bhatinda, Mohali and Dehradun. Says Dr Pervez Ahmed, CEO, Max Healthcare,
“At the end of our horizon of growth, we expect to have around 4000 beds in another five years, most of which will be in the NCR or the Shatabdi region. We want to concentrate our growth in North India because logistically it is a more scalable model.” Max Healthcare has also partnered with Nova Medical Systems, which is an ambulatory surgical product for Northern India. In today’s world, information has been considered as a strategic source of power – empowerment to make timely informed decisions. This fact cannot be overemphasized in healthcare, where an informed decision can be the difference between life and death (or disability) for a patient. Max Healthcare has continuously invested in Information
Systems, from the Hospital Information System (HIS) to Accounting and Financial System, Picture Archiving and Communication System, Telemedicine and Business Intelligence. To be able to deliver quality care consistently, Max Healthcare has opted to install an Electronic Health Record (EHR), along with which comes business and Management Information System. Says Dr Pervez Ahmed, CEO, Max Healthcare, “To allow customers and insurance companies to choose the highest quality clinical provider, the outcomes need to be measurable, reportable and reproducible. We, therefore, realised the need to move from a simple HIS to an EHR, which coupled on top of the HIS can give us the ability to have a true MIS and help us take strategic decisions.”
At the end of our horizon of growth, we expect to have around 4000 beds in another five years, most of which will be in the NCR or the Shatabdi region.
