This book explains operations management in health care using a practical, step-by-step approach. Focused Operations Management for Health Services Organizations offers managers and staff the practical knowledge and tools they need to accomplish much more within existing resources. Both new and experienced administrators will gain a comprehensive understanding of how operations management is used to evaluate the performance of operating units, driving the design of new or improved operating procedures and systems, and influencing decision-making. This book takes a Focused Management approach, which identifies and inexpensively solves tiny bottlenecks that can have major results, such as significant reductions in waiting time in emergency rooms, or increases in use of operating rooms. Included in its coverage is the Theory of Constraints (TOC) with specific applications to operating rooms and emergency departments, and includes tools such as the Focusing Table, the Focusing Matrix, the Complete Kit concept and Pareto Analysis that can increase throughput, reduce response time and create value.

This book provides a much needed guide to the effective integration of quality improvement and operations management.
