>From 'mobile based' to 'patient driven' the available healthcare models are undergoing a constant flux of innovation and change. However it is important to analyse what drives a particular model, what determines its success and adds to its value. To elaborate on this phenomenona, a pre-conference symposium on 'Successful Healthcare Models' has been structured and will be graced by stalwarts of the healthcare industry covering the hospital, IT and Pharma sector. Dr Sangita Reddy, Executive Director, Apollo Group and Dr Ravindranathan, Chairman and MD -Global Hospitals will represent the hospitals; Ganesh Nayak - Executive Director - Zydus Cadila- Pharma Sector and Raghupathi Cavale- Vice President & Health India Business - Infosys will address the audience on IT solutions in the healthcare sector. A hospital building is not just a physical entity; each structure has a story of its own. The quote "Architecture is a social act and the material theater of human activity" clearly underlines the importance that architecture plays in efficient and effective hospital planning. What is more fascinating is the emerging trends in hospital architecture; from going green to keeping the environment clean. Hospitals today not only serve the community but also the space they breathe in. Hence, 'Emerging Trends in Healthcare Architecture' is a potential area to be encompassed by renowned personalities like Architect Sasidhar- MD (Archi-Medes International Private Ltd) and Dr Vivek Desai (MD- HOSMAC India Private Ltd) The healthcare domain is now classified as an industry and has come under the microscopic view of the legalities and their provisions. This constant scrutiny has been both a bane and a boon but there is no denying the importance of compliance to the laws of the land. This topic' Legal Aspects Of Healthcare' shall be discussed by Dr Nikhil Datar, Board of Consultants (Kay Legal) and Dr Sanjay Gupte, President (FOGSI 2010). It is said 'it's a small world' and linking it even further is globalisation. Globalisation in healthcare is enabling standardisation of level of care. There is more and more agreement on the fact that globalisation is an extremely complex phenomenon. Its impact on healthcare requires pondering over. Vishal Bali - CEO (Fortis) would be expressing his views on the same. Health today is not just the mere absence of disease but a state of physical, mental, social and spiritual wellbeing.
