Human Resources Management in hospitals is a complex structure, it houses professionals from varied disciplines like Doctors, Nurses, Technicians, Therapists, Cooks, Stewards, Cleaning staff, Administrative staff etc.
The central theme conspicuous in a hospital is that it gives prominence to the people who deliver services to the wider constituents of a hospital. A human asset in modern times is considered to be a treasure rather than a mere resource in progressive business organisations. This is because it is the people who shape the destiny of the business, rather than the structures, systems and processes effectively formulated in the organisations. Many a time, managers comment, 'I wish I had a highly competent, motivated and committed staff working for me', while setting aside the structure and processes of their organisations. Hospitals are becoming large and complex, with the increase in modern health facilities, increased health awareness among people, and the advent of new technologies in medicine. Government intervention in recognizing the hospital as a industry, and regulating their purpose and performance, has also increased in India.
