SANDHYA SHANKER DIRECTOR OF NURSING, MEDENTA, THE MEDICITY HOSPITAL – NURSING FORUM

Nursing Transformation is an initiative in India that Sandhya is heavily involved in. This includes recruitment strategies aimed at mapping out current status by individual channels (cost) along with identifying the key areas of performance & length of stay. Along with this, the pre-recruitment aspect defines sourcing strategies for all channels. Training & Development aspect of this initiative is separated in 2 sections; Training Plan, which focused on the layout of a comprehensive strategy, tenure and a clearly defined process amongst many other areas & Training Execution, which identifies key resources. The Retention – Policy and Process section broadly covers Compensation, Facilities, Career Paths along with Incentives. The remainder of the initiative is dedicated to the implementation and management of Performance metrics.

Medanta was created as an institution which matches the highest standards of healthcare delivery across the world, where care is provided to patients at an affordable cost. Medanta will offer not only the best technical facilities, but also combine the jewel of traditional medicine, and create a medicine which is better than the current medicine. Dr. Naresh Trehan, Chairman & Managing Director, Medanta; “Medanta is established with the sole mission to deliver world-class, holistic and affordable health care and to build a dynamic institution that focuses on the development of people and new knowledge.”

Over the years Medanta has evolved a lot but the values it’s built on remain the same. Medanta focuses on leadership & excellence with a commitment to deliver the best outcome in everything we do through exemplary action and behaviour. Along with integrity & courage in maintaining the highest ethical standards through putting the patient’s interests ahead of the institution and demonstrating the courage to do only what is right.

One roof. 15 hospitals

Medanta’s massive 2.1 million sq. ft. the campus provides 1,600+ beds and houses facilities for over 22+ super-specialities, all under one roof. Each floor is dedicated to a specialisation to ensure that they function as independent hospitals within a hospital and yet have the comfort of collaborating on complex cases. Patients are provided with multiple options for treatment, the most suitable of which are arrived at through a cross-function, cross-specialisation committee such as Tumor board that decides the best course of action.
