Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency can seem daunting, but breaking down the process into bite-sized pieces can make it more manageable. Many resources are available to help identify opportunities, and brainstorming outside of the hospital is one of the most effective techniques for finding them. Ask your distributor and manufacturer representatives what other hospitals do to increase efficiency.
Use this chapter to identify opportunities that are right for your hospital. Successful implementation comes from creating a solid plan with achievable goals and a timeline.
