Provides opportunities to tap into others’ transformation experience to enable benchmarking, collaboration, and coaching.

An approach that brings a variety of benefits:

For the hospital:

Better resource utilization
Greater cost-efficiency and capacity
Reduced waitlists
Standardized pathways that reduce risk and variance
Improved reputation and greater patient satisfaction

For patients:

Faster access to care and treatment
Reduced length of stay
More informed preparation for procedures
Improved quality of care

For the physician and
care team:

More time to care for patients
Ability to focus on value-added activities
Transparency through a standardized pathway, and greater insights through data
