VAATSALYA TIMES SPOT LIGHTNOVEMBER - DECEMBER

You must be the change you want to see in the world. Mahatma Gandhi

Modern healthcare facilities, with their diversity and complexity,

pose extreme challenges in coordination and timely delivery that

can drive the success or failure of the hospital projects. Change is

the nature of the healthcare industry and construction costs can

quickly escalate as owners try to keep pace with emerging trends

and equipment innovations. . Vaatsalya harbou rs both

Greenfield as well as for Brownfield Projects, the challenges are

more for Brownfield projects in terms of renovation of existing

structure as per the requirement whereas in Greenfield Projects

proper planning and timely execution is required to complete a

successful project says Mr Ashok ,Assistant Project Manager,

Hubli

Hubli project is a stepping stone to success. This is a 100 bedded

hospital project which is the biggest set up across network

hospitals of Vaatsalya. There were many challenges that came

across as this area was severely affected by floods at the time of

execution of this project. Another challenge was manpower

scarcity which was already prevailing and floods contributed to

make the scenario worse. However, the project was completed in

four months timeframe.

Dr Anil Bidri (Senior Project Manager) says, healthcare modeling

projects typically varies in nature according to the needs of the

client and the hospital system under consideration. The projects

for Vaatsalya which are affected by constantly changing, growing

liability concerns, and the exploding needs of rapidly advancing

medical and telecommunication technologies, face increased

pressure to deliver projects on time and within budget while

maintaining their profitability.

The main factors for challenges in hospital projects would

involve mainly scale, complexity and change . The scale of

Vaatsalya healthcare Solutions is remarkable as its emerging as

leading star in north and south Karnataka with 10 operational

units completed in a span of over 4 years . With over 700

employees working at different locations across Karnataka, it is

unsurprising that complexity exists within all levels of healthcare

services with the organizational structure and activities. The field

in which Vaatsalya is operating is also seemingly in constant

change .Often a change at one level of an organization can

impact in an unforeseen way on o ther levels of operation., says Dr

Anil Bidri , Senior Manager , Projects .

The procurement of medical

equipments (within budget) and

timely delivery as per the timeframes

is another challenging task.

Procurement at Vaatsalya is a

centralized process and the main

challenge lies in timely delivery,

complete supplies and efficient

coordination across. Procurement is a

cyclic process which requires a

sequence of steps , the timetable of which is clearly specified and

closely followed . Budgeting is another arena to consider as

maintenance costs are also taken into consideration to optimize

resources effectively and get the most out of investment done

and the resources available. Says Dr Madhuri Umeshchandra

Project Coordinator, Bangalore

To overcome these challenges, project team at Vaatsalya hasdedicated Personnel with assorted responsibilities and dedicated

approach to execute the assigned tasks effectively. The entire

project of Vaatsalya is classified broadly into Planning Phase and

Execution Phase which takes care of entire project management

activities of Vaatsalya.

The main challenges we face are in terms of keeping pace with

the budget and timely completion of civil renovation work for the

projects, which sometimes is demanding and challenging in case

of Brownfield Projects. To keep pace with the existing

infrastructure and renovation of the same with ongoing

operational activities is really tough and requires proper

planning and tremendous efforts. Also skilled manpowe

availability is a challenge across locations. Says M

Shanmugham, Senior Consultant-Civil.

Every Project completed is a learning process all have acquired

substantial knowledge and varied learning experiences from the

projects done till date .
