How to Create Operational Excellence in Hospitals? In hospitals, quality improvement and cost containment are two critical but seemingly counteracting issues to manage. Finding ways to improve quality and simultaneously reduce cost is therefore one of the most important management strategies facing the medical profession as well as the public in general. Together with Paulien Hoefsmit, Jaap van den Heuvel, and Reinier Zandbergen, we have evaluated quality and process improvement initiatives, using either or the combination of Lean and Six Sigma in hospitals. Our conclusion is that the best strategy for achieving operational excellence is to combine the Lean management approach with projects based on the Six Sigma DMAIC methodology. The Sint Maartenskliniek (a general hospital specialized in orthopedics, rheumatology, pain relief, medical rehabilitation, among others) started their Lean journey a few years ago. Today, Jaap van den Heuvel, CEO of the hospital, did the kick off of the Six Sigma Green Belt course for a group of 22 high potentials. It was a real pleasure running this Green Belt course. The Sint Maartenskliniek will be a real life example how the combination of Lean and solving chronic problems with the DMAIC approach will lead to operational excellence. To be continued!

The EyeCare Partners model is poised to respond to growing patient needs for preventative #eyecare and treatment of age-related conditions like #cataracts. Our model provides a platform for growth through investments in new facilities and equipment and new collaborators, which will continue to #ElevateEyeCare for our patients. Dr. John Sheppard explains how the private equity platform has led to excellence within his practice, Virginia Eye Consultants. "The EyeCare Partners private equity platform has allowed our practice to grow intrinsically with new facilities and equipment for expanded surgical offerings, as well as a collaborative effort in new provider recruitment. Furthermore, growth through expansion has permitted mergers with outstanding like-minded colleagues who are no longer competitors in our market, but dedicated collaborators. Our private equity team at EyeCare Partners allows our practice to excel simultaneously in clinical care, surgery, research, marketing and business strategy." #EyeCarePartners

Research by Christopher Whaley and Michael Richards examined the private equity takeover of Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), revealing significant strategic shifts throughout the ownership lifecycle. They found that hospital chains: - Shifted Advertising 📢 and pursued joint ventures with ambulatory surgery centers. - Increased Inpatient Flow 🚑 through more patient transfers and emergency department captures. - Managed shorter, less treatment-intensive stays for admitted patients. - Reduced Outpatient Surgery Volume, but remaining cases focus on more complex procedures They note that these strategic changes persist post-divestment, highlighting the lasting impact of private equity on hospital operations.
