Unlocking Capacity for Targeted Patient Populations

As hospitals and health systems reposition themselves for current uncertainties and future sustainability, the ability to reduce expenses without jeopardizing access or quality becomes a coveted superpower.

Hospitals and health systems can’t simply cut costs indiscriminately. They need a systematic approach, one that considers specific segments of their patient populations. That approach must be supported by:

• A top-down culture that empowers front-line caregivers and staff to surface ideas on how to identify and help specific patient populations.
• Meaningful data to identify and quantify specific issues within those patient populations and point to solutions to those issues.
• The commitment to deploying tools and resources to execute solutions.
• The ability to track progress to resolve those issues and connect results to broader strategic objectives of a hospital or health system.
