The healthcare sector in India is experiencing extensive research and innovations designed to improve life expectancy, quality of care, diagnostics, treatment procedures and in addition increasing the effectiveness and affordability of the healthcare systems. Healthcare Management being a multidisciplinary field involves all activities regarding the development and implementation of policies which are aimed at improving health of the citizens. It requires more advanced scientific approaches to understand how social variables, financing frameworks, organizational structures and techniques, healthcare advancements and individual practices can influence the access to medical care, the quality and cost effectiveness of healthcare services and eventually health and well-being of the population. This is why research in healthcare management services has now become a major concern as it is intimately related with a number of challenging issues of great importance such as the demand, delivery, utilization and outcomes of healthcare services.
