Key strategies for sustained performance improvement

Health care facilities today, often find themselves in position where they must improve in order to keep business. For example, UMMC has been talking a lot about marketing to improve the concept that people have in their minds about what type of facility UMMC is. I found this website that has 3 strategies for improvement and thought it was very interesting.

  • Strategy 1: Create a Culture of Continuous Improvement and Accountability
  • Strategy 2: Identify Key Performance Improvement Opportunities and Performance Measures
  • Strategy 3: Use Performance Measures to Understand and Improve Processes

I believe that each strategy is necessary. However strategy 1 is the one that that stood out to me. "Create a Culture of Continuous Improvement and Accountability". I believe that in order to keep a hospital in business it takes continuous improvement.
