Health care delivery operations are extremely complicated due to the
quantity and variety of medical professionals, medical instruments,
testing and treatment. For a single person to enter into an emergency
room, all these things need to be used with speed and accuracy.
Complications can lead to lawsuits and lawsuits lead to less profits and
higher delivery costs for hospitals and clinics. In such a complicated
and sensitive system, how does health care operation consultants view
such an organization. Well the answer is from the patients
perspective. health care delivery can be organized in such a way to
maximize the through put of patients and/or speed of health care
services. There is more than just one trade-off, that needs to be
acknowledge by the health care system, for an expert in operations to
address the growing concerns in health care delivery.
Since health care costs have been sky rocketing for what seems to be
for the entire existence of the modern health care system, health care
organizations, economists, and various other experts have tried to
adjusting the payment structure to address political and economic
issues. This is not a win-win situation but just a shift in cost that
that avoids improving the operations.Operation experts do not
restructure payment plans to address higher costs but offer insight to
how things can be done more efficiently and effectively.
The evolution of supply chain management and logistics has come to a
point where it can address the complications of the health care
industry. Advanced health care operation analytics and the existence of
new “big data” structures to track and monitor operations can be
combined to address the rising costs of health care better then a change
in payment structure. Health care Executive (especially hospitals and
large clinics) need to acknowledge the vital role a health care operations consulting firm can play in delivering high quality operational improvements with speed and accuracy.
