Book Description

February 2000 1893990079 978-1893990074
Successful supply-chain management can often mean the difference between failing or thriving in today's healthcare marketplace. Equipment - from sheets to surgical tape to disposable or durable, ingestible to topical - is the infrastructure that supports the provision of healthcare. One of the highest cost, highest risk (in terms of liability) segments of the healthcare delivery process is the supply chain. Improving the supply chain yields readily apparent benefits in lower costs and improved healthcare delivery. Linking the supply chain to the information chain, through a maximized electronic patient record, has the potential to yield exponential benefits by creating the next phase of resource management.

Healthcare organizations can easily use Wizdom's Healthcare Process and Practice Models and supporting analysis tools to improve internal processes. Starting with the base models and using the modeling tools, they can define their own processes. Then, process properties such as how long does the process take? How much does it cost? What is its impact on outcome? And what documents support it? can be documented, analyzed and compared to the best practices as defined in the base models. All of these capabilities are built into the tools and supporting knowledge base.

This book demonstrates a more global, process-based approach to managing the electronic transactions that hold the healthcare industry together. Although successful materials management is vital to the economic viability of healthcare organizations, every aspect of healthcare in the hospital, longterm care facility, the home, or the clinic is part of the supply chain.

Inside this book, you'll find:

* How to maximize the potential of your Electronic Patient Record (ERP).
* How to develop a strategic assessment.
* The origins and benefits of activity modeling.
* How to read and analyze activity models.
* Healthcare Enterprise Reference Models
* An introduction to Ring Thinking.
* Case Studies
