ExecutiveSummary
Indias eleventh five-year plan created the Skill Development Mission and the subsequent National
Skill Development Policy, which described an incredible and unprecedented challenge of skilling 500
million people by 2020 across various sectors. The 2009 Mckinsey report, Learning to Earn
describes two themes constantly referred to in skill development; a) that skill building is not an end
to itself but rather a means for job creation, employment or self-employment, with significantly
higher income potential; b) the public sector alone can most definitely not shoulder this burden on
its own and consequently, large scale private participation in training as a business will be
imperative.
The Public Health Foundation of India, in December 2012 released the report From Paramedics to
Allied Health Professionals, describing the fundamental issues in allied health is human resource
capacity building and their effective utilisation for the healthcare sector. The acknowledgement of
this valuable group of professionals as being integral to achieving the vision for universal healthcare
in India (including a comprehensive definition and classification of the plethora of specialties) was
indeed a paradigm-shifting perspective.
The report highlighted the gap in both; the sheer number of professionals of various specialties as
well as the quality of skills acquired by the graduating students from several hundreds of institutions
across the country. The numeric gap for the ten specialty groups further analysed in this report was
estimated using complex simulation tools to be roughly around 6.4 million AHPs.
In this short follow-up study, the Healthcare Sector Skill Council attempts to quantify the
industry perspective on the critical issue of skill gaps amongst allied health professionals and its
possible effects on employment opportunities.
In addition, the global norms for skills and competencies among the ten most common groups of
allied health professionals are described in detail, including linking their market demand to the actual
public health demand.
For instance, while the earlier report plugged the gap for overall
professionals to be largest among rehabilitation specialists, the current study, that is more of a
market-based demand analysis, reveals the largest demand among the large group of miscellaneous
professionals. The two most commonly occurring groups in this category seem to be medical
record technicians and general duty assistants (GDA).
Some of the major findings of our interactions with the management / leadership of over a hundred
mostly private sector hospitals were as follows:
Education being imparted to the AHPs has limited exposure to skills required on job. Thus the
entry-level candidates are mostly trained in-house except the specialties that already
have internships inbuilt in their curriculum (such as optometry, rehab courses, to name a
few).
Page|1
Across all the specialties, communication skills seem to be lacking in candidates. Technical
and learning aptitude; computer/IT-related skills; and patient bedside manner were sought in
some professionals across the specialties.
In candidates from a few organizations, professional and analytical skills were found to be
lacking and they seemed reluctant to learn the skills needed for an appropriate patient bedside
manner.
Although un-quantified at this time, facilities admitted that the lack of adequate skills and
knowledge on patient safety issues causes considerable iatrogenic diseases and deaths. For
instance, currently, Medical Laboratory Technology professionals do not receive adequate
training in phlebotomy.
Incoming competencies vary by the type and size of healthcare facility. Small and medium size
providers typically hire less experienced candidates and provide them in house training,
whereas the trend is reversed in case of large and multi-specialty providers where
employers seek highly competent and skilled manpower in each of the specialty.
Up-skilling and regular retraining to keep up with latest technologies and practices is
limited to a very small number of corporate/established hospital chains.
For larger medical institutions, professionals work in a single specialty. For most of the 100-200
bedded institutions in the country, predominantly, the absence or insufficient clarity of
job roles, unclear job descriptions and lack of resources leads to multiple, changing roles
being performed by the same individual.
For district hospitals, recruitment is done at state level. For diagnostic facilities,
recruitment is mostly done through advertisements and walk-in interviews. Larger
facilities have a more detailed process of recruitment and hire candidates from established
institutes. None of respondents mentioned any specific institute from where recruitment is done
under various specialties. Standalone clinics on the other hand, prefer hiring candidates
mostly through references / recommendations.
Similarly, attrition is more in small and medium size hospitals. The trained manpower shift from
smaller facilities to larger ones to gain raise in the career ladder. It is reported that highest
attrition rate is in case of diagnostics that includes medical lab as well as radio/imaging
technology.
Attrition is seen majorly in dialysis technicians, radiography and imaging technology and cardiac
technicians, due to better salaries and/or better incentives being offered in competitor
organizations. Lab and operation theatre technicians are comparatively stable in some
organizations, while in some others they have a high attrition rate. Attrition is higher among
young graduates and fresh recruits, whereas stability is noted to be higher among older
individuals.
56% of the total allied health staff as identified in this study was contractual in nature
with the general duty assistants and the medical record keepers mostly being contracted
while AHPs requiring specialist clinical skills such as optometrists, audiologists/speech
pathologists and physical therapists, among others, were in-house permanent employees.
Page|2
Outsourcing services is as common as contracting-in several of these departments/services

(housekeeping, laundry, dietary etc.) but because of the nature of how they are accounted for, a
clear picture of contracted vs. outsourced did not emerge; rather they were mostly meshed
within each other.
The lack of well-defined career paths almost across the spectrum causes entry-level and
senior-level positions being badly differentiated in terms of job roles, salary structures and
upward mobility. There is lack of motivation and self-worth among several categories of AHPs
which in turn causing the high attrition rates across the industry due to people constantly seeking
better and more equitable job opportunities.
The next section of this report describes in length the skills and competencies required per global
standards for the following ten common groups of AHPs:

Miscellaneous
As the Indian healthcare sector gains prominence in the coming decades as one contributing in a
major way to overall national economic growth and development, market forces will make it
virtually impossible for both the public and the private sector to ignore the current chasms in quality
of service delivery and care, primarily impacted by the quality of skills of all healthcare professionals
responsible for healthcare delivery.
Skill development systems across the world reveal some common best practices that we could tailor
to enable solutions in the Indian healthcare context as follows:
1. Extensive employer participation as part of the curriculum design, delivery and assessment
of skills of students leads to a higher degree of planned placement outcomes.
2. Strong mechanisms for quality assurance through monitoring and formal accreditation of
institutions and individuals to include trainers, students and practicing professionals
3. Innovative delivery mechanisms to train trainers and students that involves using new
technologies, including simulation
4. Formal tracks for the educational and vocational tracks that allow mobility laterally and
vertically, improving the overall social perception for vocational training vis--vis the classic
educational system.

An urgent and coordinated effort towards addressing skill gaps at the lower levels of healthcare
delivery would thus improve public health outcomes while also creating meaningful and sustainable
employment opportunities in the health sector for the youth of a growing India.

Introduction
The 2006 World Health Report highlighted global attention on the shortage of healthcare workers.
The efficiency, composition, and distribution of the health workforce are crucial determinants of
healthcare system performance.1 In spite of substantial government efforts to improve health care
services and accessibility, gaps exist, especially in rural areas, in healthcare delivery system.
HSSC sought to identify one of the components of this gap, namely allied health professionals gap,
to make informed decisions to maximize training efforts needed.
Allied health professionals (AHPs) are intrinsic to effective healthcare delivery, especially in
developing countries which have a heavy disease burden and traditionally widespread shortage of
human resources in the healthcare system. The national estimates available through various sources
do not cover all allied health cadres as identified in the PHFI report From Paramedics to Allied
Health Professionals: Landscaping the Journey and Way Forward. As per the report, the present
system lacks any record that covers the various Allied Health Professionals (AHPs). Hence, it is felt
necessary to conduct a gap analysis of human resources based on the requirement in various sectors
of employment of such cadres.
Gap analysis is the process of comparing the workforce supply projection to the workforce demand
forecast. An analysis of this background considers the composition of the workforce, including
demographic characteristics, geographic location, size, and employee competencies level in order to
capture the relevant data.
Objective
The study has the following objectives:
a) To review the size and profile of the sector and geographical location of healthcare service
providers;
b) To identify the number of jobs available and workforce in key sub-sectors and verticals and
emerging demands;
c) To identify the various work specifications / job roles pertaining to the allied health cadres, as
also including expected outcome and competencies required to achieve the expected outcome;
d) To identify various career paths / opportunities for progression, commencing from entry level
to senior positions under the allied health ambit;
e) To identify various employment opportunities for undergraduate level students;
f) To assess the number of allied health courses across various levels, such as degree, diploma and
certificate;
WorldHealthOrganization.TheWorldHealthReport2006:workingtogetherforhealth.2006.
Page|5
g) To identify the existing formal & non-formal education and training institutes across the
country.
Methodology
A multi-pronged strategy has been used which consists of the following:
a)
Extensive secondary data analysis to map the existing formal and non-formal education and
training institutes and the various levels of education being imparted in these institutes;
b) Primary data collection through facility visits using a well-designed questionnaire to obtain
details on the parameters discussed previously, from healthcare facilities;
c) Focus group discussions to gauge perspectives and job roles of various allied health cadres in
the country: Three different groups were taken into consideration
i. students (currently pursuing the allied health course) and
ii. practicing professionals representing various allied health cadres
iii. management professionals of the healthcare facilities
d) Analysis of the shortfall in the number of AHPs using all the data obtained through a structured
approach
i. To calculate the imbalance, an approach developed by Zurn et al has been used, in which the
supply of these professionals based on the study done by PHFI will be compared to the
demand for these professionals based on the targets set as per international health
standards for developing countries2
ii. The literature search was focused on issues related to human resources for healthcare
including shortage, imbalance, retention and optimal need for all specialization categories
mentioned above. Various literature including Ministry of Health reports, health
workforce planning documents and capacity data from training institutions has been used
for this purpose.

The entire process been undertaken to accomplish the strategy has been depicted in the figure
below:
Figure 1 Process highlights of industry study for allied health professionals
Current Landscape (Supply)

The current landscape for estimating number of allied health professionals is based on a framework
developed to measure shortage of doctors.3 It was assumed that the framework developed for
physicians applies to allied health professionals.
The supply numbers for various categories of Allied workforce were obtained at the country level.
Not much data was available at the state level distribution of this work force. To obtain the
distribution at state level, one of the key estimates used was percentage of female health workers at
sub centers & PHCs across different states as obtained from report on Rural Health Care System in
India.4
Also there exists an uneven distribution of the health workforce in rural and urban areas due to
factors such as the distribution of health facility infrastructure, poor working and living conditions in
rural areas, and the concentration of income-earning opportunities in urban areas. A joint study
Katrak H. Measuring the shortage of medical practitioners in rural and urban areas in developing countries: a simple framework and simulation exercises with
data from India. International Journal of Health Planning and Management. 2008; 23:93-105

Page|7
done by PHFI and the World Bank in 20085 indicates that across most health worker categories,
typically 60 percent of the health workers are present in urban areas. To account for this difference,
rural and urban numbers were calculated separately. Demographic parameters such as total, rural,
and urban population numbers and percentage of rural and urban areas were obtained from 2011
Census data.6
Projection (Demand)
Depending on data availability, a range of sources including Indian or international health standards
set by WHO or US were used in the analysis. An optimal demand number was obtained for each
sub-category of workforce. These demand numbers were obtained through various literature sources
and government reports. In several cases numbers were estimated based on US Bureau of Labor
Statistics numbers.
Limitations for gap estimation

a) This analysis had its limitations. Availability for supply and demand data for various categories
of specialization was unavailable by state, and best available estimates from other states or
countries were used.
b) Incidence and prevalence of major diseases that would have otherwise affected the current gap
in number of allied health professionals is not included in the analysis.
c) The number of workers retiring from the workforce was not included in the analysis as there is
no live register maintained at national /regional /state levels.
d) This analysis estimated a cross-sectional scenario of the gaps. Longitudinal scenario
incorporating projections of population growth and mortality is not included in the analysis.
e) To obtain optimal number of health workforce in certain categories, it was assumed that the
ratio of ideal number of health workforce to Indian population will be same as the health
worker to US population ratio as presented in US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The Industry Perspective (Market Survey)
Background
As part of the market survey conducted, 145 institutions across the country were contacted (The
complete list of facilities is attached in annexure-1). Of these, over half of the facilities were visited
and all of them were followed up with multiple phone calls and emails. Over 70 percent of the
institutions surveyed belong to the private sector. 70 responses have been received thus far.
Figure 2 Overview of the survey results
Following are some of the inference and key highlights from the survey being undertaken.
Considering the scope of the study, limitations are also been included at the end as ready reference
for the reader.
Page|10
Distribution of Facilities and the Key Sub-Sectors

The facilities surveyed were divided among the following eight categories:
a) Multi- specialty hospitals
This category consists of tertiary care facilities that provide services in, or are staffed by,
members of several medical specialties.
b) Single-Specialty HospitalsThis category consists of hospitals that
provide a particular type of service to the
majority of its patients, such as optometry,
dental, etc.
c) Medical InstitutesThis category consists of educational
institutes that have attached hospitals.
d) Large Hospitals
This category consists of facilities with bed
strength of above 250 beds.
Figure 3 Distribution of healthcare facilities based on specialty
e) Mid-level Hospitals
This category consists of facilities with bed strength of 100 250 beds.
f) Small Hospitals
This category consists of facilities with bed strength of less than 100 beds.
g) Diagnostic facilities
The percentage distribution of the sample facilities is indicated in the graph below:
Page|11
The industry perspective (Market Survey): Key findings

A. Allied Health & Paramedics : Regular v/s Contractual Staff
The graph below indicates the proportion of regular versus the contractual staff in the various
specialties. Most of the allied health
professionals (56% of the total head
count) are hired on contractual basis.
Majority of the therapeutic and technical
service providers such as in case of
optometry, rehabilitation, dental ,
medical technology, surgical intervention
to name a few are mostly regular staff.
Miscellaneous category AHPs such as
general duty assistants, record keeper
etc. are mostly contractual staff.
Figure 3 Percentage distribution of regular versus

contractual staff in the healthcare facilities
B. Allied Health and Paramedics Staff Strength in Healthcare Sector
The graph below indicates the percentage of healthcare service providers having allied health
professionals (AHP) in their facility.
Maximum sample facilities (81%)
indicate that they have miscellaneous
category of AHPs working with them
such as general duty assistants,
medical record keepers to name a few.
Also diagnostics have been a major
area of recruitment for AHP which
includes medical lab (79%) as well as
radio and imaging services (68%).

professionals in sample healthcare facilities
Page|12
C. Allied Health and Paramedics : Job-Roles
The facilities interviewed for the survey mentioned varied designations under each specialty
being assigned to the allied health professionals, as indicated in the table below. The current job
titles do not reflect the extent of duties of the allied health professionals being performed.
Neither have they had any defined job description which is indicative of multitasking within the
department or across the healthcare facility. The system also lacks grading the various levels
(based on qualification and experience) resulting in different criteria of hiring among the
employees.

Need for clear definition of job roles : The survey highlighted that most of the AHPs are
multitasking. However, for larger medical institutions, professionals work in a single specialty.
For most of the 100-200 bedded institutions in the country, predominantly, the absence or
insufficient clarity of job roles, unclear job descriptions and lack of resources leads to multiple,
changing roles being performed by the same individual. For example, a dental technician covers
up as an X-ray and lab technician. Similar multi-tasking occurs in smaller diagnostic centres, as
the lab technician tends to double up as a receptionist. Smaller nursing homes have minimal
staffs that work across specialties. When questioned on the absence of an appropriately qualified
AHP, they were content with the situation and felt that such a professional was not needed.
None of the respondents mentioned any clear role been assigned to these professional for
additional roles been imparted to them.
D. Spread of Allied Health Professionals Across Facilities
The series of graphs below indicate the distribution of allied health staff among varied specialties
and levels of healthcare providers.

E. Spread of Allied Health Professionals
Page|15
F. Allied Health and Paramedics : Expected Incoming Competencies

The survey indicates that the incoming competencies vary by the type and size of healthcare
facility
Small and medium size providers typically hire less experienced candidates and provide
them in house training, whereas the trend is reversed in case of large and multi-specialty
providers where employers seek competent and skilled manpower in each of the
specialty.
Similarly, attrition is more in small and medium size hospitals. The trained manpower
shift from smaller facilities to larger ones to gain raise in the career ladder. It is reported
Page|16
that highest attrition rate is in case of diagnostics that includes medical lab as well as
radio/imaging technology.
Details on the competencies specialty-wise are included in later sections of the report.
G. Allied Health and Paramedics : Career Growth Path
Many employers ensure that their employees have sufficient opportunities to grow both
vertically and laterally, though there is lack of any well-designed career ladder for allied health
professionals under various specialties. The experience of the candidate, an optimum
performance at tasks assigned, knowledge of technical aspects, punctuality and attendance
are some of the criteria used. Incentives provided include regular CMEs, periodic
recreational group activities; and in the case of diagnostic facilities, overtime pay or additional
pay for home-based collection.
The survey highlights some of the common trend of existing career pathways as indicated in
the tables below:

H. Trends in Recruitment
It is difficult to recruit and retain highly skilled allied health professionals. Candidates for
medical lab technology, particularly histopathology; medical technology, particularly dialysis;
CSSD technicians; superspecialty such
as short-care, neonatal and oncology
technicians
and
mammography
technicians are hard to come by.
Figure 6 Percentage distribution of skilled allied

health professionals difficult to recruit
For district hospitals, recruitment is done at state level. For diagnostic facilities, recruitment is
mostly done through advertisements and walk-in interviews. Larger facilities have a more
detailed process of recruitment and hire candidates from established institutes. None of
respondents mentioned any specific institute from where recruitment is done under various
specialties. Standalone clinics on the other hand, prefer hiring candidates mostly through
references / recommendations.
I. Trends in Skill Gaps
Across all the specialties, communication skills seem to be lacking in candidates. Candidates tend
to have basic communication skills, but need additional training. In some cases this is due to a
language barrier, in some because they are accustomed to working in back-end processes. In yet
a few cases, it is due to a lack of empathy towards patients.
Technical and learning aptitude; computer/IT-related skills; and patient bedside manner are a
felt need in some professionals across the specialties.
In some cases, there is an under-utilization of skills such as in the case of ambulance workers
and ward boys.
Page|19
Figure 7 Skill gaps in allied health professionals
Lowest
skill gap
Highest
skill gap
Highest
skill gap
When recruiting new candidates, employers in diagnostic facilities specifically look for basic
knowledge, willingness to work on holidays and communication abilities, whereas standalone
clinics look for eagerness to learn. For professionals in the field of medical lab technology,
phlebotomy is an important skill that employers of all kinds of facilities look for.
The respondents to our survey majorly belonged to the leadership and human resource
departments of the facilities and do not work in direct contact with allied health professionals.
Hence, they were unable to provide any relevant data pertaining to least and maximum gap in
technical skills based on each specialty.
Page|20
Training needs and development

: The survey highlighted that the education being
imparted to the AHPs has limited exposure to skills required on job. Thus the entry-level
candidates are mostly trained in house except the specialties that already have internships7 inbuilt
in their curriculum (such as optometry, rehab courses, to name a few). For them there is a felt
need for Continued Professional Education for up-skilling as everyday there is advancement in
the technology and patterns of treatment.
Lack of adequate skills and knowledge on patient safety was also highlighted as one of the area
for improvement by participants in the survey.
A small proportion of facilities stated that there was a lack of motivation and working attitude
among staff. For district hospitals surveyed, employers felt that all categories of professionals
need regular re-training. Larger public hospitals (medical colleges) and large private hospital
chains seem to be adopting the most professional approach towards skill and competency
building of allied health workers, and ongoing training and professional development.
J. Employability of Current Allied Health Professional with recognized Certificate /
Degree
Across the length and breadth of our survey, employers observed that when candidates are
employed from well established institutes, they are well-trained. For most other candidates,
additional training is always essential. Some institutions provide students with degrees but do not
have their own hospitals, resulting in limited hands-on experience. In some cases, professionals
across the specialties possess minimal skills and prefer back-end processes where they do not
have to interact with the patients. A majority of employers find that it is necessary to provide inservice training using refresher or weekly training by experienced staff.
With the regular introduction of new technology, constantly updating ones knowledge is the
need of the hour for professionals in radiology and lab technology. Yet, minimal attention is
attributed to this aspect from both employers and employees.
K. Attrition
Attrition of allied health professionals is a major grouse among employers. Varied degree and
timing of appraisal is also a common of attrition among allied health professionals. This
phenomenon is seen majorly in dialysis technicians, radiography and imaging technology and
cardiac technicians, due to better salaries and/or better incentives being offered in competitor
organizations. Attrition is higher among young graduates and fresh graduates, whereas stability
is noted to be higher among older individuals. In district hospitals, attrition mainly occurs due to
the lack of a safe working atmosphere for staff.
An internship is done after the completion of the academic cycle. It is only during the internship, however, that the student experiences firsthand the actual process of working with patients, under a mentor. The internship period allows a practical and hands-on learning experience
outside the classroom.

Page|21
L. Outsourcing of candidates
Most of the organizations surveyed had hired their staff on a regular or contractual basis.
However, in some organizations it was preferred to completely outsource some specific
departments such as housekeeping, cleaning, dental, and in some cases dietetics/nutrition.
Since technicians need to be highly skilled, positions are usually available, but there are not
enough candidates in the market. This leads to outsourcing of services. During the survey
another trend has been highlighted in which manpower outsourced though services are provided
within the same healthcare facility. These employees are also given a contractual status. Due to
this ambiguity a clear picture of the number of allied health professionals that are outsourced is
hard to piece together.
Model for in-service training
M. Total Allied Health Professionals Head-Count
The headcount is derived from the sample facilities being considered for the study. Considering
the extent of existing AHPs in the market, there is a scope for detailed study for each profession.
All the positions being offered are treated as entry level as there is no designated career ladder in
the system. Thus percentage of entry-level headcount is not applicable in this section. None of
the respondents gave any relevant data pertaining to the future hiring of allied health
professionals.

Based on the previous study conducted by PHFI From Paramedics to Allied Health the
highest technical demand is identified in miscellaneous, rehabilitation, dental to name a few.
This finding is different as the estimates are based on population need whereas the table

Limitations of the study

Limited awareness amongst managers, including top leadership regarding the job roles and
numbers of allied health professionals and workers working with them;
Besides doctors and nurses, every department has support staff, but the exact numbers of
posts available versus job openings seems to be misrepresented/misunderstood in most cases;
Different categories and nomenclature used for specific roles across various healthcare
settings;
The inability of hospital leadership to provide adequate time and attention to the survey team
due to operational pressures seems to be a challenge all over;
Apprehension amongst managers and reluctance of the corporate hospitals, to provide details
related to job openings caused notable delays and gaps in the data collection.
