Clairvoyance 2009
Building Capacities in Healthcare
Clairvoyance 2009 is an exploration of innovative ways
to build capacities at various levels of healthcare
The School of Health System Studies of Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS),
Mumbai has announced this year's annual event-Clairvoyance 2009. The event would
be held on 19th and 20th of December 2009 at the Convention Centre, Naoroji
Campus, TISS, Mumbai.
'Clairvoyance' is a signature annual event conducted by the students of SHSS.
It is an endeavour to bring together multitudes of healthcare professionals,
students and industry leaders to a common platform of deliberation and discussion.
Over the years, Clairvoyance has addressed pertinent issues facing healthcare
as it transitioned from 'sector' to 'industry'. The logo truly represents the
meaning of the word Clairvoyance—'An eye which envisions the future of
global health and emphasises the paramount role of India in the global context'.
Clairvoyance 2009
With the doubling of household incomes and an increasing health consciousness,
Indian healthcare is poised for unprecedented growth. However, with this ever-increasing
demand, the only hurdle to the achievement of 'Health for All' is a lack of
sufficient infrastructure, manpower and technology to cater to the needs of
our population. This has been the major thought behind the theme — 'Building
Capacities in Healthcare'.
Clairvoyance 2009 is an exploration of innovative ways to build capacities at
various levels of healthcare. This year's event would comprise a symphony of
seminars, debates and panel discussions highlighting newer approaches to the
age-old issues of workforce shortage and employability, healthcare financing
and sustainability and the widespread use of technology. With this theme, some
of the areas of public health and hospital which would be addressed by eminent
speakers from the industry include:
1. Building capacities in terms of human resources in healthcare.
2. Technological capacity building.
3. Breaking new grounds in healthcare/hospital financing.
4. Strategic business models/plans for hospitals.
5. Middle level management capacity building.
Clairvoyance 2009 is indeed a call for the young entrepreneurs, as the event
promises some exciting opportunity for the budding healthcare managers and public
health enthusiasts to showcase their potential which would be in the form of
student based events, which this year promise to deliver a stimulating mix of
newer technological innovations in healthcare, newer financing models in healthcare.
