To Whomsoever It may Concern
A well thought out and formulated course, a difficult task on the hand for the organizers to conceptualize and capsule it in a compressed version. It gave us – the participants, a bird’s eye view of the functioning of various administrative departments of a hospital. Overall the course provided us an insight into the functioning of hospital administration.
The various reference or interesting material related to hospital administration and individual growth sent to the participants was of great help in understanding various aspects and enriched our knowledge and understanding. Also a special thanks for emailing our course material after every session which will serve as a reference for now and future. A structured and extremely professional course from a well structured and professional organization.

Mr B Sai Shankar ( E – mail : shankar4978@gmail.com) :

I had the privilege of attending the weekend hospital management course, which was very efficiently coordinated by Mr.Mahalingam, who has around 25 years experience in healthcare administration.

The meticulousness with which he sent the profile of the faculties well ahead of the sessions, the PPTs/PDFs of each session after its completion and communication regarding any changes in the programme were top-notch and I am yet to come across such a superb communicator. He was very easily approachable to clarify any doubts that we had during the course. If he was unable to answer our queries (which was very rare), he made it sure that the query is sent to an expert and correct reply is sent to the candidate within a day. Such dedication truly deserves a round of applause.

I am sure that any course that he organizes will be of the same high standards that he sets for himself and the candidates can be assured that the faculty he arranges for the sessions are experts in their fields who share the same vision of Mr. A Mahalingam – i.e., to share the knowledge they have gained to the benefit of everyone

 Dear Mahalingam Sir

Many Thanks for your mail & messages. It has been wonderful to get associated with you & your academy by way of this course. I was initially a bit apprehensive when I first went through your advertisement, whether I would be the right candidate especially from a Life Insurance Background. But now having completed the course, it gives me immense pleasure that I've learned something new about Hospital Management, hospital administration, Health Claims Marketing/ Claims process, NABH accreditation of hospitals, Leadership, Team Building etc.. It was a renewed treat for me, having learnt management @ LIBA about 15 years back which shaped up my corporate career.

I wish to place on record, my appreciations to all the faculty members (not to single out anybody) for their lively interactions & unstinted guidance to make us, candidates comfortable & share their valuable insights & experiences.

I wish the  Academy All the VERY BEST & May many more such courses find it roots in the academy especially catering to applicants from interior & rural Tamil nadu. You can count on me for any support your require to spread this awareness message.

With Best Wishes & Regards

I take this opportunity to thank Mr.Mahalingam for conducting the certificate course in Hospital management. My dream of attending a healthcare  management short term course was achieved by attending the course conducted by my mentor Mr.Mahalingam A.

I should say that he has a wonderful way of conducting the course, so meticulously by covering different subjects of hospital management in such an abridged form wherein a layman like me who is not from a hospital background could vouch for him.

I saw him how much he is respected in the hospital administration field in Chennai and in the country and would be felt, only if you have an interaction with him.

We were 16 in the batch and all of them successfully completed the course and each and every one of us are in touch with him since he is a person who  can rely upon for any help in the field of health care professionals.

Having an experience of 28 years in the Pharma selling field, this course conducted by him has helped me in many ways in my selling career. I joined this course in order to shift myself to a hospital management job in future and the course was very useful to me in many ways even in my present selling job. I wish him success in future Endeavour’s.

Introduction:
·         The modern health care delivery has become an intense, hyper complex, tightly interlinked and coupled activity, wherein the clinician providing the care needs continuous updates on the patients’ condition, and is forced to work under compressed time constraints and with a high degree of accountability.
·         On the one hand, the clinician is daily bombarded by
o   Ever increasing information on the diseases, laboratory tests, imaging studies, complex invasive procedures, biomedical equipment, new drugs and information technology.
·         One the other hand,
o   Every day, is marred by the number of patient safety incidents reported.
o   Many lives are lost, violence against the clinicians follows, many are damaged beyond repair, enormous waste of resources occurs and the clinician is unwillingly forced to become a “second victim”.
·         Occurrence of patient safety incidents erodes the trust between the clinicians and the patients and their relatives, leading to acrimonious litigations, astronomical compensation grants, unwarranted media attention, loss of business continuity and reputation.
·         The science of patient safety is  a young branch of medicine and does not find a place in the medical, nursing or technical curriculum. The clinicians are left, on their own, to seek and acquire this knowledge.
