Performance Improvement

GE Healthcare Partners collaborates with our clients to evaluate the human capital value chain holistically and to design and activate plans focused on creating the workforce of the future with flexibility to adapt to evolving patient and system needs.

Our approach integrates the strategic and operational function of human capital. This holistic model helps leaders understand what talent, resources, and competencies are required while more effectively managing the cost intensity of the workforce.

Hospitals face dozens of challenges related to operating room efficiencies, such as scheduling, managing daily processes, controlling suply and implant costs, and more.

Without addressing these challenges, hospitals are unable to run their operating rooms and perioperative programs at peak efficiency.

Reducing clinical variation represents a critical element of a healthcare organization's ability to deliver more affordable healthcare. However, reducing variation successfully and sustainably - while simultaneously maintaining or even improving outcomes - requires clinical redesign initiatives that optimize care deliver and engage physicians.

GE Healthcare Consulting teams with physicians and care management staff to redesign care. Using data, analytics, and peer-appropriate benchmarks, we identify areas of clinical variation and recommend ways to reduce costs, right-size resources and improve outcomes. We then work together to redesign processes across the acute and post-acute continuum.

This results in a true partnership between physicians and care management staff in the pursuit of shared goals to reduce clinical variation, optimize patient throughput, and increase quality.

Optimizing capacity and patient flow in the hospital and across the system is critical to improving patient access and satisfaction, and delivering the best value for the patient. At GE Healthcare Consulting, we can help you identify key priorities for the design and implementation of your new care management model.
