Emerging Healthcare Networks in India
Many large private hospitals in India are slowly turning into large network of healthcare organizations. This network includes 'Treatment for Sickness' and the 'Wellness Industry'. At the heart of all these networks is mostly either a Pharma or a Insurance company, because they are the biggest gainers in the healthcare industry.
These healthcare networks seem to be pushing the single encounter-based medicine to a more holistic patient-based medicine by providing all the services in the network and retaining the patient within the network across the country. Therefore Healthcare Network is a very healthy trend for India.
However the emerging healthcare networks can not achieve their ' Enterprise level Digital Healthcare' dream without an integrated Healthcare-IT policy. But today no existing Healthcare-IT package provides all what is required for running such a massive Healthcare Network.

Although I agree that the Healthcare Network is a positive sign but still this network is very skewed in nature with little or no healthcare benefits being passed on to the rural centres.
Yes an integrated Healthcare - IT policy is needed but before that the health services need to be better and more evenly distributed so as to widen the reach of such an Healthcare - IT amalgamation.
