Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) November 12, 2009 -- Healthcare consultant Kenneth G. Bast has created a new consulting firm, Hospital Focus 5, to ensure that hospitals leverage their internal clinical, technical and financial staff talents to successfully maneuver through the increasing complexity of hospital operations and need for quality improvement.
The significant change that will be brought about through healthcare reform as well as the movement away from patients seeing themselves as passive participants in their own healthcare to active, savvy consumers will continue to determine which organizations survive and prosper and which do not.
“The Hospital Focus 5 methodology provides a practical, realistic, successful approach to getting work accomplished every day in this changing environment, by every employee throughout the entire hospital”, said Bast, a former hospital CEO and long time healthcare consultant. According to Bast, this comprehensive approach creates an integrated, sustainable culture that redefines the way a hospital communicates, educates and does business in every department, and emphasizes understanding and concentration in the five areas that determine a hospital’s short and long-term viability: quality, accountability, strategy, communication and growth.
In reexamining his former consulting practice, Management Consulting in Healthcare, Bast realized that the methodology his firm utilized in hospitals ranging in size from 50 to 900 beds, was even more important in this era of massive change, and required an even more structured emphasis on improvement and measurement. “Healthcare delivery requires a new way of doing business. It will demand a common understanding of the challenges at hand and fully collaborative strategic and operational workforce to address them”, said Bast. “Everyone - board members, physicians, senior leaders and front-line employees - must see how their knowledge, skills and behaviors adds to or detracts from the experience of the hospitals’ primary focus – patients.”
Stressing the idea of achieving measurable accomplishments by focusing on outcomes can result in many good things. Some of them are:
Better patient care
Better quality
Better productivity
Better management
Better communication
Which results in:
Survival & Success!
