Business Challenge & Results

Carondolet - St. Joseph’s Hospital

OR Simulation

• Performed an operational assessment of its Surgical Services to identify opportunities for performance improvement focused primarily on throughput.

Carondolet - St. Mary’s Hospital

ED Simulation

• The client wanted to improve patient throughput efficiency in all patient care areas, particularly with admits, transfers and discharging of patients. 
• Conducted an assessment and made recommendations for their patient flow beginning with the emergency department thru inpatient admitting.

Barrow Neurological Clinics

Clinic Simulation

• Redesigned space plan and layout of ten clinics with significant process improvements and best practices improving patient service and revenue enhancements

CHW – St. Joseph’s Hospital, Phoenix

ED Simulation

• The client wanted to improve patient throughput efficiency in all patient care areas, particularly with admits, transfers and discharging of patients. 
• Conducted an assessment and made recommendations for their patient flow beginning with the emergency department thru inpatient admitting.

Reid Hospital

ED Simulation
Clinic Simulation

• The client wanted to improve patient throughput efficiency in all patient care areas, particularly with admits, transfers and discharging of patients. 
• Conducted an assessment and made recommendations for their patient flow beginning with the emergency department thru inpatient admitting.
• Determined capacity of new out-patient facility improving patient service.

St. Vincent's Hospital, Birmingham

ED Simulation

• The hospital wanted to test its plans for a new emergency department before finalizing the design. 
• The client wanted to be sure they would have enough beds in the future and know how many patients they could handle.

St. Vincent’s Hospital, Birmingham

OR Incentives

• The hospital wanted to evaluate incentives and ensure maximum returns. 
• The simulation model directed administration and OR management to the incentives that were cost beneficial as well as which were not, saving financial and political capital for the things that matter most. 
• Updated the OR model when the hospital built a new out-patient surgical center to reflect significant case mix and surgeon block schedule changes.

Baptist Health South Florida

ED Simulation
Capacity Planning

• The hospital wanted to improve its patient experience to world-class levels. 
• Built an ED Simulation to test the team's most promising ideas.
• The simulations provided a quantitative comparison of process improvement ideas and showed hospital executives which will likely yield the most improvement.
• Participated with architecture team for new ED facility
• Significantly reduced new ED footprint and ED Length of Stay

Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center

Internal Re-engineering

• Responsible for the start up and management of internal re-engineering effort designed to reduce costs and increase revenues.
• Identified/achieved $14 million savings, ($40 million including flex adjustments) within the first year. 

Henry Ford Health System

Project Management, Decision Support

• Part of team that designed epidemiologically-based corporate strategic planning model including inpatient/outpatient.
• Targeted annual corporate pharmacy savings of almost $2M.
• Managed coordination and support for eight committees of the Pharmacy Task Force.
