MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

Established in 1936, the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) has emerged as a leading social work and social sciences institute engaged in teaching, research, training, field action and policy advocacy in the fields of social work, development, and the social, health and management sciences. We are proud to enter into our 75th Year of existence and celebrate this platinum jubilee year together with batch of 2010-12. The Tata Institute of Social Sciences is a centre of excellence in the field of Health Systems Studies. Its Masters programmes in Health Administration, Hospital Administration, Public Health Social Epidemiology & Public Health Policy, Economics & Finance prepare students for managerial roles in these areas and carry out high quality social and policy research on a range of health issues with a view to support evidence-based national health policy and programme planning. Selection to these Masters programmes is done through an all-India admission test every year. These programmes involve two years of theoretical and experiential learning with faculty drawn from within and outside the Institute. The cutting edge curriculum of these Masters programmes integrates semester-wise internships in different health and hospital settings throughout the two year period, a block placement prior to graduation, and a rigorous dissertation work. A large number of eminent practitioners from health and hospital systems, within and outside Mumbai, teach and provide fieldwork and internship support to our students. The Tata Institute of Social Sciences remains alert to the process of renewal, restructuring and change in the context of changing times and emerging challenges. As part of this process, some fundamental changes and restructuring which had already been set in motion at the Institute, have taken major strides. One such outcome is the introduction of the new programme in Master of Public Health Policy, Economics & Finance. I am proud to present the 2010-2012 batches of bright, socially conscientious and skilled, Hospital and Health Administrators, Public Health Policy, Economics & Finance and Public Health Social Epidemiology graduates in the country for placement in your organisation. Dr. Parasuraman Director Tata Institute of Social Sciences

This year, the Institute is celebrating its Platinum Jubilee. In this long history of 75 years of the Institute, we have come a long way in the last three decades in working in the field of health in terms of training, research and extension. Started as a onesemester programme on Certificate in Hospital Administration in 1980, today, the Institute boasts of 4 postgraduate degree programmes and one diploma programme in the field of health. The alumni of these programmes are occupying leadership positions in the health sector in India and abroad. This year, 4 postgraduate degree programme students will be attending campus placement. While MHA (Health) students are equipped to undertake leadership role in planning and implementing healthcare programmes in the government and the voluntary sectors, MHA (Hospital) students are trained to take up leadership role in hospitals and hospital consultancy organizations. In addition, both the programme students are trained in health related sectors like insurance and information technology. The students have very strong understanding of their respective health and hospital fields and are strongly molded and mentored in managing health and hospital organizations. There are 31 students in the MHA (Health) programme and 42 students in the MHA (Hospital) programme. Master of Public Health (MPH) in Social Epidemiology is a unique programme in the sense, the focus of the programme is on social epidemiology. The students have very strong orientation in research skills and have good understanding of the epidemiology of both communicable and non-communicable diseases. These students will be excellent researchers and analysts in public health field. There are 20 students in this programme. MPH in Health Policy, Economics and Finance is the new programme and the first batch will be passing out this year. This programme is developed in collaboration with London School of Economics (LSE) and some courses are taught by the professors of LSE. These students have strong orientation in economic evaluation of health programmes and interventions and have excellent skills in health policy research and analysis. There are 19 students in this programme for campus placement. The strength of all these programmes is strong emphasis on practical training and research skills. Every semester, the students are placed in organizations and communities related to their respective fields to understand and learn the real world, where they will be employed later. These students are ready to take-up the challenges before them in the health sector. Without hesitation, I can vouch that these students are going to make a positive difference and impact on the organizations that are going to recruit them. I wish them all success. Dr. C.A.K. Yesudian Dean School of Health Systems Studies

VISION
It is our belief that this school is a part of life and that its students should be trained to make independent judgement, to examine questions from all angles and build a life philosophy which is their own and not a pale imitation of those who have gone before. Clifford Manshardt (Founder Director of TISS, 1936-1961) Sir Dorabji Tata was passionate about social upliftment, education and its reach across the Country without any distinction of place, nationality or creed. Therefore he put his heart and his wealth into the creation of premier institutes of learning, research and social advancement through a trust. One such institution was the Sir Dorabji Tata Graduate School of Social Work, which had its humble beginning in 1936 with 20 students. The institute was a pioneering effort in the field of Social Science study, research and practice in India. It was set up in response to Dr. Clifford Manshardt's vision of a post-graduate school of social work, of a national stature. The school was renamed 'Tata institute of Social Sciences' in 1944. The institute made a mark in the history of social work in India, through pioneering efforts like publishing the Indian Journal of Social Work, which is the first journal of social work in South Asia. The Institute then and now is known for its prompt and efficient response in sending relief in the face of natural and man-made disasters. The year 1964 was an important landmark in the history of the Institute, when the Government of India recognized it as a Deemed University. The institute has been conferred with the prestigious five star rating by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). The institute has struck a perfect balance between management and healthcare while aligning itself along the noble principles of social sciences with which it was born. The Tata Institute of Social Sciences has continually strived to open newer vistas in the field of social sciences and management.

Introduction Hospitals and healthcare facility providers as we see them today; are becoming some of the most complex and fluid organizations to manage in the times to come. This was a challenge, foreseen early by the faculty at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, who were thus among the pioneers in instituting a full fledged Masters in Hospital Administration in 1993 which to date remains one of the most coveted training programs this sector has seen. In the increasingly competitive arena of healthcare management education, the TISS strives to maintain its tradition of academic excellence whilst simultaneously working to radically transform its academic culture and spirit as is captured in its tryst towards Re-imagining futures The basis underlying the course framework is the fundamental understanding of hospitals as socially, structurally, technologically and financially sensitive organizations employing a myriad mix of some of the most skilled and unskilled human resource. Along with a strong emphasis on their theoretical base, students are tested for their conceptual clarity through class presentations, case studies and group tasks simulating decision making in the hospital environment. Keeping in with the pace of the industry, the course content is continuously reviewed and revised to keep abreast of necessary developments whether it is Hospital management information systems, Health insurance or Business development strategy for hospitals. With that, the students would undergo seven months of grueling internships across some of the best hospitals and allied organizations like consultancies, healthcare IT & health insurance companies in the country and simultaneously undertake individual projects addressing some of the relevant concerns or advancements in healthcare.

The Internship

What the mind does not know, the eyes do not seeKeeping this very maxim in mind, the sequence of theory subjects and internships has been framed to ensure that students know exactly what they are expected to learn and apply during each of the three, eight-week long internships that they would be credited for in the course of their degree.

Qualification Profile

After covering key fundamental subjects like Healthcare Finance, Hospital planning, Clinical and Support services & Materials management, at the end of their second semester students are posted in their first internship at major public hospitals in Mumbai like KEM, BYL Nair Hospital, Tata Memorial Hospital, MGM Vashi, BARC hospital, Holy family hospital, Cooper hospital, Prince Aly Khan hospital and Rajawadi hospital to name a few. Students would understand the hospital as a system and take up three clinical and support departments each for detailed analysis and report preparation. Additionally the students may be given small assignments by the hospital authorities depending on what they would like students to help them with. By the end of their third semester, they cover Operations research, Health insurance, Quality management and Medical technology before they start their second internship in large & renowned trust hospitals across the country like CMC Vellore, CMC Ludhiana, Sir Gangaram hospital, P.D. Hinduja, Breachcandy hospital etc. This time, they would undertake actual case studies in operations for analysis and work on solutions that can be actually implemented. Gap analysis for accreditation, patient satisfaction levels turnaround time for reports, inventory control systems, etc. for example. At the end of the last semester, students have had covered Legal framework for hospitals, Systems development & Information resource management, Marketing and Business development strategies when they are posted in their third internship with some of the largest healthcare corporations in the country like the Apollo group of hospitals, the Fortis group, the Max group, Manipal group of hospitals etc. In this posting they would be expected to undertake specific micro-level assessment like modules for staff training, feasibility and marketing plans for new service or hospitals, working on actual HMIS databases, reengineering for departments like front office, stores, etc. Honoring the hundred percent placement record at TISS, by this time all students would have had been placed in respectable positions across some of the best healthcare organizations in the country. However, before they embark on their professional journey, they would serve uncompensated in their choice of healthcare organizations like charitable hospitals, NGOs, consultancies, healthcare IT or health insurance companies for a whole month rendering their knowledge and skills as they would in the organizations they would soon join. All internships follow absolutely stringent attendance rules and surprise visits to the hospitals by faculty are common, accompanied by confidential feedback letters for every student during their internships.

Work Experience Profile

The project is the other important credited exercise for students where they get a chance to choose a topic of their interest to extensively work on. They are guided by faculty not only from the college, but The also industry experts in respective sectors. This project not only gives the students a chance to explore an Project area in great detail, it can also help them identify sectors they may like to work for, in the long run. Some of the likely project types could include identifying functional departments for comparative analysis with the ideal, planning considerations for precision departments like the Operation theatres and Intensive care units for example, developing better systems for materials management, unique human resource problems in hospitals and application of newer advances like Hospital Management Information Systems and Building Management Systems. Students are expected to extensively review literature for international & national guidelines, collect verifiable data from atleast three hospitals and comparatively analyze the ideal versus actual findings for gaps. Further, they are also required to prepare realistic recommendations that would address these gaps which would be very useful for students to develop their problem solving and decision making abilities. This project extends through the entire span of their two year training wherein their progress would be evaluated at regular intervals for revision of approach as gauged by the respective guides and by the faculty.

Introduction TISS has been offering the Health administration course since the early 1990s.Since then it has been the best in its efforts towards moulding the best candidates into the finest health managers! Over the years the course curriculum has been reinvented and structured to keep pace and meet the demands of the dynamic healthcare industry. The internships give a fresher the hands on experience of health management in various streams of healthcare industry ranging from NGOs to Municipal corporations, to many other private & public organisations. Thus this course by its end exhaustively makes a candidate a utile heath manager. The 2 year intensive program is designed to develop a cadre of professionals competent enough to take up key managerial and research positions in both public and private health sectors. The Master of Health Administration programme prepares students to take on managerial positions in the national health programmes, the NGO sector, healthcare consultancies, health insurance, IT in healthcare and community-based health programmes by building capacities in planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluation of programmes. It also orients the students to macro issues relevant to health policy and programming in the country. The teaching is beyond the four walls, the faculty members are ever enthusiastic to impart the best knowledge to the students & various innovative ways adopted by them help students progress better like the field visits, classroom exercises based on the topics of practical application & many more. We have been successful in attracting the titans of the health sector like WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA,NHSRC, SHSRC, NRHM, NACO, PATH, CARE, Aga Khan Health Services, ICICI, Infosys and PWC for our recruitments in the past & have been able to make it upto their expectations. The course curriculum has a shade of social science along with the foundation of management which makes it unique & thus the students are better management personnel with a sense of social responsibility. This blend comes from the core management based courses like principles of management, strategic healthcare management, operations research, financial management along with very sensitive courses like social science perspective on health, research methodology, etc. thus the artifact of these academic courses is what we bring to the healthcare industry with our ingress!

The Research

Dissertation is a mandatory component of the course in Masters of Health Administration & has been assigned the maximum credits.

Qualification Profile

This by far has been one of the best learning the students have received from the Institute. The guidance by the faculty members along with their motivation has been proved to be invaluable to the extent of even having students publishing their research papers in renowned journals. In an industry like healthcare that is changing fast, organisations must continually revise their design and range of products. This is necessary due to the continuous technology change and development as well as the changing preference of customers. Without a Research & Development program, the organisation will have to rely on strategic alliances, acquisitions, and networks to tap into the innovations of others. Thus research helps the organization to forgo its present methods & come up with the ones that will help it perform to its best & that's exactly what our candidates are experts at. As an institute excelling in post-graduate programmes, we here learn not only to manage healthcare but to explore the arenas in it!

The Internship

TISS believe that realization of theory into practical is the actual possession of knowledge. Nurtured with the same idea, internships not just expose the students to the intricacies of healthcare industry but also provide them with professional up-gradation in terms of conceptualization and implementation. Students are assigned to various carefully chosen organizations to give them the actual flavour of health related issues and ground realities, keeping in mind the role of a Health Administrator. Meticulously designed three rounds of 8 week internship gives them a hand-on experience of various aspects of National Health Programs , the NGO sector , various community health programs , a firsthand exposure to governments public health system ,with a chance to apply the knowledge and skills they've gained from their academic experiences. Nevertheless it enhances communication skills by working with diverse populations across all over India.

Work Experience Profile

Students are posted to various renowned organizations like ALERT India, SATHI, SEARCH, VHAI, CMC- RUHSA, SNEHA, IHMP, Aga khan health services, MCGM, Public health department of government of Maharashtra etc. These internships expose the students to the health care industry, help integrate and supplement classroom knowledge and enhance experiential skills .Apart from the individual assignments and projects done by students; students also indulge into projects given by organizations. These internships are mutually beneficial wherein students use it as a learning opportunity and the organizations tap the skills and knowledge of the students and engage them in their projects.

Introduction History has spoken highly, of the importance of Public health, right from ancient relics and medieval period to the twenty first century. In the Indian context, the Bhore committee report in 1946, the recent NHP 2002 and the NRHM documents, all highlight the training of public health professionals as an important requirement for the improvement of the health situation in the country. With the kind of public health problems the country is facing in the social, cultural and economic context, there is an increased need to emphasize on social epidemiology. Keeping in the mind the existing public health scenario in the country, the full-time course in public health at Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) caters to the need for trained human power in public health and also helps in the protection and maintenance of public health with a focus on social epidemiology. This programme explores the link between the social environment and health of the population along with strong methodological and technical foundation in epidemiology, biostatistics, quantitative analysis and national and international public health policies. This programme is covered over four semesters, with emphasis on research related courses and development of public health paradigms. The eclectic mix of students from various educational backgrounds and work experience adds new perspectives and knowledge on various issues pertaining to Public Health. Polished by excellent faculty in knowledge and skills to handle all aspects of national and international public health issues, and further honed in community interaction and research skills by multiple internships, the course ordains students to shine bright in the public health scene, be it rural or urban, national or global.

The MPH course consists of two internships and a Block posting, at the end of second, third and fourth semester respectively. Both internships are of eight weeks and the Block posting is of 4 weeks. The first internship focuses on urban slums. The students are sensitized to public health issues in urban slums by means of various assignments. These include creating a socio-demographic profile of the area via a door to door survey. Further, they carry out an individual study related to one of the problems found in the community. This exercise helps them understand the practical use of research techniques and procedures learnt in class. Detailed analysis of factors such as socioeconomic status, health status, morbidity patterns, utilization of health care services and expenditure for healthcare help improve analytical skills of the students. The first internship was undertaken with the help of following organizations: Urban Health Post- Cheetah Camp, Trombay, Mumbai SATHI (NGO), Turbhe Stores, Navi Mumbai Community Health Centre,Shivaji Nagar, Mumbai The second internship is designed to understand health and its determinants typical to rural communities.

Introduction Health systems across the globe are facing myriad challenges related to the dynamic International policy scenario and the pressures to perform better socially and economically. One of the key challenges shared by many developing countries is the lack of trained human resource to engage in evidence based policy generation, as well as to deal with issues requiring an understanding of and a problem-solving expertise in the social, economic, and financial dimensions of health. The Master of Public Health (MPH) in Health Policy, Economics and Finance, developed by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences in collaboration with the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), has been designed with a global focus, to create this human resource, with an expertise in: critical analysis of issues within health policy, economics, and financing; design of appropriate health policy responses; and generation of policy recommendations related to public health action. Structured as a 2 years course, the course has an in-campus teaching components of first two semesters, followed by field practicum and research project in the second year. The rigorous classroom teaching component and the extensive field experience scope nurtures a special set of skills in the students, foremost of which is critical analysis, reinforced by discussions, debates, seminars, problem solving exercises, actual field implementation and observation of learnt concepts, and a unique pedagogy by internationally renowned professors from Tata Institute of Social Sciences, London School of Economics and Political Science, and Harvard University. Another skill given special emphasis is the understanding and application of financing principles, econometric techniques and the systematic use of policy research & review in decision making. An in-depth understanding of the dynamics of the pharmaceutical and health insurance markets and a comprehensive knowledge of global health systems give the students an edge in areas such as policy analysis, review, and design required for all health related programmes and projects. Devised specifically for the Master of Public Health (MPH) in Health Policy, Economics and Finance, the one semester duration field practicum is an innovative, first of its kind exercise that places scholars in varied settings right from innovative private foundations to State Health systems who are contributing to public health, thus giving them a unique opportunity to rise above theory to practice and be involved in public health 'in-action' and witness the dimensions of policy, economics, and finance, as they apply to the field in reality. This one of its kind Masters Programme trains Public Health professionals to be experts in assaying analytical, consulting, advocacy and advisory roles in public sector bodies, global non-profit organizations, policy consultancies, bilateral and multilateral aid agencies, health financing institutions, health policy research organizations, and the pharmaceutical sectors.
