JAMMU, Jan 22: Two-day workshop on “Healthcare Leadership, Operational Excellence and Digitalisation”, supported by Chevening Alumni Programme Fund, is being held here from today.
Healthcare experts from Australia, United Kingdom and India arrived in Jammu over the weekend to participate in the workshop tailored for AIIMS-Jammu and other local healthcare providers/hospitals.
The workshop is being held at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Jammu and will focus on “Healthcare Leadership, Operational Excellence and Digitalisation”.
The workshop includes keynote presentations and roundtable discussion sessions on various topics related to leadership, improvements, and digitalisation. Mentoring emerging female leaders is a special feature of the workshop. It includes knowledge-building exercises and the development of pilot projects that will eventually be implemented by AIIMS-Jammu.
Director of AIIMS-Jammu, Professor Dr Shakti Gupta, inaugurated the workshop today while Professor Y K Gupta, President of AIIMS-Jammu, delivered the keynote address.
This workshop is building upon the highly successful one-day workshop held in February 2023 which was organised by Professor Amrik Sohal from Monash Business School, Monash University, Australia. The previous workshop focussed on “Building Lean, Green and Digital Hospitals.”
In this workshop, the focus is on building the necessary capability to enhance hospital leadership, undertake process improvements and start the process of digitalisation of all administrative processes.
