[CUSTOM SOLUTION] Operations Management

Corporate Vice President of Operations Management for Patient-First Healthcare System, a nonprofit hospital with seven rural satellite hospitals located within 250 mi of each other. Your organization has just approved new monies for developing new quality management initiatives. The individual hospitals have implemented their own quality management programs with varying levels of success. Some of their programs demonstrate stellar results and high levels of patient satisfaction, although others have much less impressive results. Your focus as the corporate VP of operations is to implement a corporate quality improvement program that will be standard throughout the company’s hospitals. The plan must also be responsive to any local needs or issues. What will your quality plan entail? Specify what processes will be measured. Will it include JCAHO or another accreditation review? Why or why not? Finally, how will you measure the results?
