Textos básicos para el tema de las Operaciones aplicado al entorno sanitario

Estoy pasando los meses más atareados de trabajo de los últimos años, lo cual ha provocado un descenso en el número de posts de las últimas semanas. A ver si poco a poco entramos en una dinámica más correcta, porque estoy trabajando en temas muy interesantes, y aprendiendo sobre temas muy interesantes.

En los últimos meses, el tema sobre el que estoy muy concentrado, leyendo todo lo que cae en mis manos, es el tema de las Operaciones. Me gustaría compartir con vosotros dos libros, basados en el expertise de los profesionales del Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) que trabajan con el profesor Eugene Litvak, que son una excelente introducción a todo este amplio tema:

1. Focused Operations Management for Health Services Organizations, Boaz Ronen, Josh S. Pliskin, and Shimeon Pass, 2006 (384 páginas).

This book examines and explores the application of operations management in the framework of health care organizations. It is intended to provide managers of health services providers with simple and practical tools to identify bottlenecks and constraints, manage those tools, and better utilize them. By focusing on issues and processes that are common or of concern in health care, the book gets right to the point of the issues faced by managers in this field, and provides the exact tools necessary to deal with those issues. These tools help to significantly reduce response times, reduce waiting times, increase throughput, improve quality and increase customer satisfaction, without increasing the use of physical, human, and financial resources. The authors have extensive proven experience, through research and application, in successfully applying the tools and methods to many organizations worldwide.

This book provides the inspiration, information, and ideas you need to lead patient flow improvement efforts at your organization. You will learn from the successes and failures of the authors — health care leaders who have played pivotal roles in patient flow improvement projects. The fundamentals of patient flow are explained and a solid business case for pursuing improvement efforts is provided. Real-life examples explain common patient flow theories and improvement methods. The heart of the book focuses on the practical information and leadership techniques needed to foster change and remove the barriers to smooth patient flow.
