I'm away on vacation through October 10th, but I've scheduled the posting of an article of interest most weekdays. Feel free to comment and share your thoughts on each and I hope you keep up your daily habit of reading the blog.
This article caught my eye recently:
(via The Ohio State University)
From the early part of the article:
Recent research Peter Ward & I conducted with Dr. Susan Moffatt-Bruce and other collaborators at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center leaves little room for skepticism about the impact of op-ex deployment in healthcare. Our quasi-experimental investigation permitted us to compare care delivery performance before and after deployment, using a control group from the same setting to account for any variations in the system beyond our experiment. Results show that op-ex deployment reduced 30-day readmissions, decreased monthly operating costs, improved patient satisfaction and also improved the quality of work among caregivers. In short, it works.
