Hospitals across the country have realized the value of performance excellence teams and process improvement tools. Healthcare has reached the point where it is absolutely critical to learn how to do more with less. How do you improve patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes while becoming more efficient? Using what has already been learned within the manufacturing industry is a great way to start. Even though hospital care is quite different from manufacturing, there are still many techniques and tools that can be shared. Using these proven manufacturing operations management techniques was also a focus at this year’s Patient Flow Summit. http://patientflowsummit.com/
ProModel has been successfully helping to improve manufacturing for over 25 years, so it is no stretch that we can carry that same success into the field of healthcare and have already been doing so with our MedModel technology for several years.
One of our current clients, Carilion Clinic is a network of hospitals, primary and specialty physician practices and services in the state of Virginia. Senior Performance Improvement personnel chose ProModel consultants to help them create a patient flow model to reduce hospital overcrowding and resolve patient flow issues. In a short E-Book we explain some of the decisions they needed to make and how MedModel helped them to do so:
