Efficient Access to Safe and Reliable Healthcare is a Global Problem
The issues related to overcrowding and waits and delays are neither new nor are they confined to the United States. Healthcare systems across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific are experiencing significant overcrowding and waits and delays throughout their facilities resulting in increased patient risk, increased operating costs and decreased quality and satisfaction.
Process Variability = RISK!
It is a well-documented fact that process variability increases risk to patient outcomes and/or performance outcomes. To minimize these risks, the IOM, JCAHO, IHI and other organizations around the globe have recommended best practices for treatment and prevention. However, adhering to these practices is dependent on individual compliance and performance. Ensuring that best practices defined though evidenced based medicine and processes are consistently followed is dependent on the hard-wiring of organizational “institutional memory” at the level of the provider who is closest to the patient.
