OR Process Improvement Initiatives
Analyze, validate and benchmark OR performance metrics
Data analysis forms the foundation of our initiatives. From verification of definitions to assessment of computer system capability to benchmarking against industry best practices, HPS consultants will confirm OR metrics. This data is used to prioritize the focused initiatives of the process improvement teams.
Charter cross-functional performance improvement teams
HPS will create process specific, multi-disciplinary teams with key stakeholder representation. Our experienced consultants will initially lead and educate the team as it establishes OR improvement priorities and goals as they tie to facility strategic objectives. HPS will develop a performance scorecard and improvement action priority list which the team will track on an ongoing basis.
Drive implementation of indicated improvement plans
HPS will provide the expertise and leadership to customize the improvement initiative to meet the requirements of your surgeons. Detailed timelines, process redesign scenarios, statistical analysis and desired endpoints are developed in conjunction with the process improvement teams. Our consultants will oversee process redesign efforts and analyze the resulting impact. Improved processes will be implemented and documented to ensure improvements are hardwired.
Develop long term tracking metrics
HPS OR performance monitoring programs are designed to track key process indicators and offer an ongoing “report card” for functions critical to efficient operations. Useful guides to process improvement priorities and results, HPS OR monitoring reports will rapidly become a vital element of your business. Featuring trending, percentile rank and an easy to follow scorecard, our customized reporting will help you focus on increasing profitability.
