The School of Health Systems Studies (SHSS) of the Tata Institute
of Social Sciences (TISS) is in a state of continual buzz these days with the
preparation of their upcoming annual event— Clairvoyance.
Clairvoyance 2006, designed as a national level healthcare management conference,
will be held from December 8-10, 2006 at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences,
Mumbai. It will see an unprecedented gathering of industry bigwigs, leaders,
and experts in the field of hospital and healthcare management. The theme for
this year being 'Professional Management in Healthcare: Arching for the Zenith',
the conference focuses on the cutting-edge issue of how professional management
practices, concepts and models can help the healthcare sector to realise its
full potential. It also looks at challenges that the system and the decision
makers have to face in their quest to improve healthcare. The sub themes of
the conference will reflect upon the corner stones of management and cover topics
as varied as financial management to quality management to information technology
management and human resource development in the hospital and healthcare sector.
The SHSS, under whose aegis Clairvoyance is being planned, was initiated in
TISS (a deemed university) in 1993. It contributes towards health policy planning
and administration, through its four centres in public health and epidemiology;
health systems management, health and development and social sciences and health.
It provides both masters degree and diploma courses for hospital and healthcare
administration. It takes delight in being the WHO Collaborating Centre for ‘Health
Policy Research & Training’. The alumni association of the school is
an official executive group of the American College of Healthcare Executives
(ACHE), Chicago, USA. The alumni of this department have made an incontestable
contribution in shaping the hospital and health sector not only in India, but
internationally as well.
Apart from providing a common platform for the best in the healthcare industry
to network and share their insights and wisdom through Clairvoyance, the school
allows its students of hospital and healthcare management an opportunity to
practice their organisational skills as they are about to enter the healthcare
management arena. The conference, having participants from hospitals, healthcare
organisations (national and international) and related firms such as health
insurance companies, healthcare consultancy groups, Government agencies, biomedical
and pharmaceutical companies, gives the potential employers visiting the campus
an opportunity to interact with the students.
All in all, Clairvoyance 2006 will act as a forum to bring the stalwarts of
the healthcare sector on a common platform to discuss contemporary issues in
healthcare. In keeping with the reputation of the institute, the conference,
with its theme of professional management, aims to play an important role in
extending management beyond the realms of business and industry to areas of
social relevance such as health and hospital administration.
