We may be 50 years behind from US or Australia in terms of the healthcare delivery system but we can match those standards in our system in no time, says Naresh Duble, Head, Healthcare and Education Vertical, Armstrong to Elets News Network.

Why there is lack of adoption of IT in Healthcare?

IT in healthcare is having their own challenges and technology and adopters dont go hand in hand. It is really difficult to make the community of healthcare learn about the usage of technology as they are mostly under pressure all the time. We need to give them time and space to learn. When you work in busy environment it is difficult to learn technology. Place should be properly fit for the purpose to perform the job. IT is important which enhance the efficiency but people efficiency is far more important aspects to think about. Providing right environment in healthcare is the need of an hour. AIIMS body has really helped this new healthcare facility guideline has included sound and acoustics as a parameter in their guiding system which is very welcome state and aligned by six other countries. We have requisite intelligence, now we have to work across state governments and national governments to really benchmark ourselves and move closer to the global standards around sound and technology and healthcare building facilities. We really help in facilitation of adoption of sound technology, which is doable.

What is the scope of solution providers in the healthcare industry especially after Union Budget 2015?

Finally we are increasing the allocation for education and health in our budget. We are nowhere near global standards, we need to do a lot more and its a first welcome stage that we have taken. So all the new facilities, which are coming now, like we are working with AIIMS new facilities, we are working with West Bengal State Government for 25 treasury hospitals coming up across the smaller cities, we are working with mother and care hospitals in Bhubaneswar, Bangalore and Kerala with state government. So as allocation gets in, the new facility get build, they can be done in line with global standards. We may be 50 years behind from US or Australia in terms of the healthcare delivery system but in no time we can match those standards in our system. We are progressing very well and it is a very positive stage for healthcare.

How did you see Healthcare Leaders Forum a platform for the Healthcare stalwarts?

e-Health is a leading platform where technology being discussed in healthcare. We talk about technology, efficiency, productivity, progressiveness, and using our resources well. Armstrong acoustical solutions are at hub of sound, which can deliver in healthcare. When you are doing a new facility or augmenting an existing facility, it is important to keep human at center of our change and modification. So when you really design a healthcare with proper sound, doctor can talk to a patient in a privacy, which is due needed for treatment. No amount of technology takes care because sound always affects us. So, yes we need a better technology, better people to run the technology, we need to make the product and thats why this platform makes huge sense to talk to the industry leaders about use of proper designing in healthcare.
